How much of a menagerie would a menu keep alive and healthy during an ocean voyage from Buenos Aires to York? Captain Vladimir (“Vovo”) Perfilieff, generalissimo of an animal-catching expedition to the Matto Grosso Jung Brazil (TIME, June 1 et seq.), found it sufficient for the following, which he landed safely in Manhattan last week

5 jaguars 2 ocelots 1 puma 1 anteater with baby 1 porcupine with adopted baby 1 large land turtle (40 Ib.) 1 coati (ring tail raccoon) 1 tu-u-u (jaburi stork)

Carefully confined in wooden cages, the collection was shipped at once to the Philadelphia Zoo. In coming months the animals may be seen here & there about the country—together with archaeological, ethnological and other zoological exhibits—when Capt. Perfilieff goes forth to lecture. He will tell how his friend and colleague Alexander Siemel got his foot bitten by a crocodile, how another member of the expedition caught the long-legged tu-u-u after winging it, carried it his arm for miles.
