On May 28, 1920, the following animals were crated and 

 shipped to London: 2 white-tailed deer, 2 raccoons, 2 timber 

 wolves, 2 Canadian porcupines and 2 opossums. 



The Washington Irving High School was furnished, as has 

 been the custom during several years, with a series of mammals, 

 birds and reptiles for its Zoological Room. These animals are 

 returned to the Park with the beginning of each vacation period, 

 then sent back to the school with the re-opening in the autumn. 

 One of our keepers is sent weekly to the school to see that the 

 series of specimens remains in good condition. 



On September 17, 1920, Mr. A. K. Haagner, Director of the 

 National Zoological Gardens of South Africa, at Pretoria, deliv- 

 ered a lecture in the Administration Building at the Park. His 

 remarks related to zoological gardens and game conditions in 

 Africa. This lecture was illustrated with stereoptican slides and 

 motion pictures and among the latter were scenes of an elephant 

 hunt. 



On October 7, 1920, the following animals were shipped on 

 the steamship Chmese Prince, for Pretoria and Johannesburg,

 ment brought to us by Mr. Haagner : 1 American bison, 1 aoudad, 

 1 Himalayan tahr, 3 American wapiti, 1 hog deer, 2 axis deer, 1 

 macaque monkey, 2 rhesus monkeys, 2 black spider monkeys, 2
