is almost certain to be a success, The main object is to col¬

both in Tanganyika territory, in Uganda, and in the Sudan, 
we shall almost certainly get these animals, and, in addition,

parks throughout the United States, as well as to Europe, 
Australia and South America, so that throughout the world, 
and for many years, the expedition specimens and their progeny 
would be represented. 
The party will proceed from Hew York to Dar-es-Salaam 
end immediately inland on the railroad to a station half way 
between the coast and Lake Tanganyika, where a station will 
be established in charge of an experienced animal keeper to 
be taken from the national Zoological Park. Mr. Loveridge,

in his previous experience in this territory, has trained a 
force of native collectors. Our party will go to various 
districts in Tanganyika, to the north .into rhinoceros country, 
to the south for giraffe, and to the west for elephants. In
