Zoological Trip to Santo Domingo

J. L. Peters '12 will leave New York Saturday on a scientific expedition to Santo Domingo, where he will collect birds, mammals, and reptiles for the University Museum of Comparative Zoology. He will be gone about three months, and will make a thorough study of the avian-fauna of the island. Many of the birds to be collected there for the University are found in no other part of the world, and several available species are almost unknown to science.

Peters has had a great deal of experience in making collections. In his Senior year he made a trip for the Museum of Comparative Zoology to the British Honduras. Since graduation he has been connected with the Biological Survey of Washington.
