HOW THE WORLD HAS CONTRIBUTED TO THE 



Without an ocular demonstration, few persons can realize how much of the habitable globe 

 is represented by the 813 species of birds now on exhibition in the Zoological Park. As an aid to 

 the understanding, Mr. Lee S. Crandall, Assistant Curator of Birds, has marked on a map of the 

 world, as shown above, the localities represented by about 379 important species. All of these are 

 now living in our collections and enjoying life. The Large Bird House is nothing less than an 

 avian treasure-house, and the happiness of this feathered throng from far distant lands is quite 

 evident from the strange mixture of song. While it is impossible to show the names of these 

 selected species, they appear on our reference map. which holds all the keys to this exhibit.
