At a meeting here the other after- noon of the National Parks Association the proposal was advanced for a permanent exposition at the capital of the great national parks. to include many habitat groups of the animals and the flora of those great public spaces. There is now the foundation here at the Zooligical Park of at least the fauna exhibit, and the groundwork of the other branch of the exhibit is provided for in a project now pendi for the creation of an arboretum and national botanic garden at Mount Hamilton." Possibly the desired ex- position can be thus developed. The National Zoological Park was a | development of the Smithsonian Insti- tution, beginning with a small herd of buffaloes brought here for the purpose | of preserving that specics. These ani- mals were corralled in grounds back of the institution. Later a few other animals were added, gifts from indi- viduals and specimens collected by government officials in various parts of the world. “Zoo” became so large that it was necessary to find a larger home for it. When Rock Creek Park was created the animal collection was housed in the southern portion. which was designat- ed as a zoological park and is now officially distinct from the large north- ern section. Both of these parks were placed in the congressional reckoning on the basis of local institutions, main- tined by equal contributions from the District and the federal Treasury. 1f now the national park exposition ™ to be created by the extension of the 00, the national character #hould be recognized in the provisions| fni maintenance. V¥ immediate importance to consider ‘ways and means of support. It is mmost desirable to ascertain whether there are omissions in the present col- Yection which might be corrected to make the zoological exhibit fully rep- resentative of the national park fauna. The Mount Hamilton project has mever gone beyond the stage of pro- posal. for the completion of the work of re- claiming the Anacostia river, though not necessarily, for the major part of the land which is under consideration In a short time the: It is not, however, !
