CAPE LONG-EARED FOXES. 
These foxes are characterized by the extreme length and size of their ears. 
caps that naturally surround the animals of a 
traveling show. Up to date three giraffes have 
been born and reared, and what is more the 
young animals have been each year exhibited 
with the show! This success we consider noth- 
ing short of marvelous, and it is our hope that 
it will continue. 
Having two female giraffes that could be 
spared from the show, they were kindly offered 
to us as a deposit, and we received them most 
gladly. Our own giraffe is a big and powerful 
male nearly fifteen feet high. 
The Masai Giraffe is a species with very 
dark markings, from southwestern British East 
Africa, and we never before have seen a speci- 
men in America. 
The Greater Kudu from Pretoria, reared 
in the Zoological Gardens there, is our greatest 
prize from the Haagner collection. The animal 
is about half grown. and has fine, perfect horns 
that promise to be quite large. WL regret to

Transvaal for “sport” and we have sent back an 
S. O. S. request that this should at once be 
stopped. 
The Sable Antelope is again with us, 
through the shipment from Africa. The speci- 
men is not quite fully grown and still is in the 
brown coat, but in the fall of 1921 we should 
see it in black. 
The Great Ant-Eater, purchased of | Mr. 
Louis Ruhe, of New York, is an arrival of which 
we are very proud, because we can render no 
smaller tribute to that remarkable beast. Of 
nearly a dozen specimens that we have had, this 
one is the largest, the finest, and the most satis- 
factory. His picture tells the story of his won- 
derful form, and also his giant size. 
The Feather-Tailed Opossum is the small- 
est and the last of the notable mammals that we 
have space to mention. It is regarded by Mr. 
Joseph. who brought it to us from Australia, as 
the prize mammal of his collection. It is about 
the size of a large domestic mouse, grayish 
brown in color, and the hair on its strongly
