              La governatrice dei serpenti
              al giardino zoologico di Londra

              Londra, 21 luglio, matt.
              Miss Jane Procter è stata messa a capo del
              dipartimento dei rettili al giardino zoologico
              di Londra, ciò che significa che ella dovrà
              governare una orribile folla di cobra, di vi-
              pere, serpenti a sonagli, di boa, di coccodril-
              li, ecc. ecc. La nomina interessa il pubblico
              non solo perchè gli viene rivelato che miss
              Procter, benchè non abbia che 25 anni, è re-
              putata nel mondo scientifico come una delle
              maggiori competenze in fatto di rettili, ma
              anche perché, dopo il peccato originale, si
              sperava o si credeva vi fosse una incompatibilità
              fra la donna e i serpenti. Invece a dieci
              anni, quando le ragazzine di solito si diver-
              tono con le bambole, miss Procter aveva un
              serpente e varie lucertole come trastullo fa-
              vorito. Un giorno le fu regalato un cocco-
              drillo: accompagnata dalla mamma essa lo
              portò dal dott. Boulenger, allora capo del di-
              partimento dei rettili al museo di storia na-
              turale al giardino zoologico. Il dottore fu col-
              pito dalla competenza della giovanetta in fat-
              to di rettili e le promise di prenderla seco ap-
              pena avesse finito le scuole. Così fu: a 18
              anni miss Procter era sua assistente.

              Ora il dott. Boulenger deve dedicare tutta
              la sua attività alla direzione del nuovo ma-
              gnifico acquario che si sta costruendo nel
              giardino zoologico, e i rettili sono stati messi
              sotto il governo di miss Procter, la quale
              maneggia senza timore e con meravigliosa
              sicurezza gli esemplari più velenosi e mali-
              gni. Arrivano al museo serpenti da ogni par-
              te del mondo, e qualche volta avviene che al
              momento di aprire le ceste le bestie scappino
              o si nascondano dove possono. Miss Procter
              è famosa per snidarli e rimetterli in gatta-
              buia.

              Ma pare che questa sia una qualità di fa-
              miglia. Neppur sua madre ha ribrezzo per i
              serpenti: ad un giornalista che andò a casa
              sua ha fatto vedere sei bellissime serpi bra-
              siliane che sono tenute nel salotto in un co-
              fano di vetro. La signora ha sollevato il co-
              perchio e si è fatta attorcigliare i serpenti
              intorno alle braccia mentre il giornalista cer-
              cava con la coda dell'occhio una possibile
              via di ritirata.

              WOMAN'S REPTILE PETS.
              Miss Joan B. Procter, F.Z.S., who has
              been appointed Curator of Reptiles to the
              London Zoological Gardens, has been in-
              terested in such creatures since she was
              seven years old.
              Her present collection of living reptiles
              includes a Brazilian house snake, which
              is very keen on being handled and petted.
              These benevolent serpents are used in-
              stead of cats in some parts of South
              America, and are most effective in keep-
              ing a place clear of rats and mice.
              Miss Procter is succeeding Mr. E. G.
              Boulenger, F.Z.S., at the Zoo's Reptile
              House in the autumn. Mr. Boulenger is
              in charge of the £50,000 aquarium which is
              now being constructed under the Mappin
              Terraces at the Zoo.

              Not an ordinary snake charmer
              is Miss Proctor, F. Z. S. F. L. S.,
              but Curator of Reptiles at the
              Zoological Gardens of London.
              She is an English girl, twenty-five
              years of age, and regarded the
              greatest authority on snakes in
              the world. She recently refused
              an offer from the New York
              Zoological Society.

              L'ECOLE DE LA TENTATION. —
              C'est une femme, une jeune fille même,
              la frêle, délicate et gracieuse miss Procter qui
              est chargée, au jardin zoologique de Londres,
              de la section... des serpents.

              Et je constate que les serpents et les fem-
              mes ont décidément des affinités dont la pru-
              dence masculine devrait commencer sérieuse-
              ment à prendre ombrage.

              Chacun connaît l'entente extrêmement cor-
              diale qui existait entre notre mère Eve et l'an-
              cêtre des serpents, et chacun sait aussi ce qui
              en est résulté.

              Seulement, voilà, du temps de notre mère
              Eve, il y avait un paradis à perdre.
              Tandis que maintenant...

              HER REPTILIAN FAMILY.

              The second of the lady curators appointed by
              the Zoological Society, Miss Joan Procter, will
              take over her duties in charge of the reptiles at
              Regent's Park during the autumn. Miss Procter
              has plenty of practical experience of these strange
              pets, for, apart from work which she has fulfilled
              in the reptile department of the museum at South
              Kensington, she has for several years kept a private
              collection of live snakes and batrachians. She has
              designed the whole of the rockwork for the new
              aquarium at the Zoo.

              WOMAN CURATOR OF
              REPTILES

              APPOINTMENTS AT THE LONDON
              ZOO

              Mr. E. G. Boulenger, at present
              Curator of Reptiles at the Zoological
              Gardens, London, has been appointed
              Director of the new Aquarium. He
              will continue to exercise a general super-
              vision over the reptiles, but for some
              time he has been very fully occupied
              with superintending the construction of
              the aquarium, and when the tanks are
              ready for occupation it is anticipated
              that his time will be almost completely
              engaged by his new duties. Mr. Boulen-
              ger is a son of Dr. G. A. Boulenger,
              F.R.S., for long chief of the Department
              of Reptiles, Batrachians, and Fishes at
              the British Museum of Natural History.
              Since Mr. Boulenger has been Curator
              at the Zoo the reptile-house has been
              greatly improved, and the collection
              made one of the finest in the world.
              During the war he served in France
              with the balloons.

              Miss Joan B. Procter, F.Z.S., F.L.S.,
              has been appointed Curator of Reptiles,
              and will assume her duties in late
              autumn. She was educated at St. Paul's
              School for Girls, and since 1916 has
              worked in the Reptile Department at
              the British Museum, first as voluntary
              assistant to Dr. Boulenger, and, since
              his retirement, in charge. She is the
              author of a large number of papers on
              the anatomy, classification, and habits
              of reptiles and batrachians, and for
              many years has kept a private collection
              of living snakes and batrachians. At
              present Miss Procter is still carrying on
              the work of the Reptile Department at
              the Museum, but is also engaged in de-
              signing the rockwork for the aquarium
              tanks at the Zoo.

              which are to form the new aquarium under the Mappin Terraces at the Zoo. Some of
              the tanks will hold thirty tons of water. (Daily Mirror photograph.)
