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.
