The collection of North American
water fowl at the National Geological
Park here, already the largest in the
world. will be more complete than
ever since summer, due to the acquisi-
tion of Number OF rare birds during
the week just passed. The most i'm
portant of these are a pair of pink
footed geese. These birds abound in
sections Of northern Europe, bat in
the new world are found only in
Gree inland, where it is almost impos-
sible to capture them alive. Zoo Off
Gals obtained this pair from a Euro
pean collector. Although they are
classed as European fowls their
habitat in Greenland gives them
place in the American collection.
Another valuable acquisition is Il
red-tailode Edwk secured from Porto
Rico, which will be placed on eXhi-
bition in a few days. Porto Rican
birds are among the raresi in the Zoo
collection, since the island seldom has
been explored by experienced col!ec-
