Abstract
DR. DITMARS has charge of the reptiles in the New York Zoo, but, as he tells us, he is a kind of chaperone for all its beasts, with a special liking for the more primitive and delicate forms. We tend to think we can buy everything in the way of beasts, living and dead, whereas New York seems to do much of its own collecting. This means a personal knowledge on the part of its officers of the beasts in Nature, and, practically in gardens and scientifically in laboratories and museums, this is invaluable.
Confessions of a Scientist.
