Valuable Gift for Zoology Museum

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

The University Museum of Comparative Zoology is to receive a gift of the collection of birds which has been made during a scientific cruise along the North African coast, in charge of Henry Russell Amory '14. The scientific work of the expedition started at Teneriffe, and through the documents issued by the State Department the efforts of the scientists were greatly facilitated. On the island of Lazeroti numerous birds were taken. Here the craft was caught in a gale which sent her into Agadir, Morocco, where the captain of a French battleship, the Du Chayla, had a revenue cutter tow the vessel to Magador, where many species of birds were collected. At Las Palmas additional birds were taken.
