Bird Found in Canal Zone Resembles KU's Jayhawk
If anyone at the University wishes to know what real Jayhawks look like, Dr. E. R. Hall, director of the Museum of Natural History, says he is now prepared to show them.
With artist Dickenson along on the trip, Dr. Hall preserved the original colors of the birds bill by having a color sketch made soon after the bird was killed. The sketch shows that the bill which is now black was at one time a bright green, orange, blue, and red. The colors of the birds feathers closely match those of the Jayhawk.
Dr. Hall, accompanied by San' Dickenson, museum artist, and George Young, taxidermist, has returned from the Canal Zone where they have gathered material to finish the museum's tropical life exhibit.
When the bird is made ready for exhibit, Mr. Dickenson will restore its original colors to match the sketch with his paintbrushes.
The group had the advantage of using the facilities at Barro Colorado island, a natural history reservation maintained by the Smithsonian institute in the Canal Zone. Here they took pictures, made sketches and took wild-life specimens.
Among the specimens taken on the expedition was a Toucan bird which Dr. Hall believes looks very much like KU's Jayhawk. The museum has had several Toucan's in their collection for a number of years but the bird's bright colored bill always fades as soon as it is killed.
Mr. Young said they took about 400 pictures and collected leaves from different kinds of trees and shrubs. The leaves will be used to make acetate cellulose reproductions to be placed on modeled trees or

shrubs fashioned from the sketches and photographs. He estimated that he will have to make at least 100,000 artificial leaves for the new exhibit.
He said they were very fortunate to find a particular vine in full bloom and covered with fruit. Like most of the material gathered, like most of the vine yet been classified, he said. Until it was they are calling it a Passion flower.
The group did most of the work in the jungles. Dr. Hall said he was especially impressed with the variety of plant life found there.

The tropical life section of the museum's panorama of North American mammals will not be ready for some time yet, Dr. Hall said. Although the museum has about all of the material needed to complete the exhibit, it will take quite a while to prepare it, he said.
