- ornithologist + is just back from collecting
in South America.
I find that Skunke + a young
german Prof. [Professor] Dr. Wolf Herre of Kiel,
Zoological Institute, Germany are
collaborating on a large scale
study of the changes wrought in Reindeer
by domestication. He tells me that
all males over 4 yrs [years] are castrated to
make them more manageable.
The Museum has some very fine
material + in general it is in good
condition + well stored, though this study specimen
preparation leaves much to be desired.
Among the rarities are a partial
skeleton of a Dodo. A great auk, an
eskimo curlew + some dozen other
rare + vanishing species Calif. [California] Condor +
Ivory billed woodpecker among them.
The collection has some half dozen
Argali skulls + one Palli + one or two
Ovis nivicola borealis. A great many African + S [South] Amer. [American]
things All Lonneborg's types are here but
I find that many are based on the
flimsiest grounds + very inadequate material.
I measured up 3 specimens of Cervus
elaphus atlanticus [underlined] from Hittern Island. +
find that the type is not marked as such.
Also measured the Only specimen (adult)
