PictureThe Lotos Club, New York City.
One hundred and four years ago today, Raymond Ditmars of the Bronx Zoo, presented an illustrated lecture entitled “A Visit to Jungle Land by the Jungle Company” at a dinner of the Lotos Club, New York City. 

‘Even the oldest member could not remember a time when forty snakes were ever before visible in the sacred halls at one and the same time,’ reported the New York Daily Tribune. ‘The doctor told of his trip to the uncharted wilds of Florida in search of reptilian additions to his zoo. His tale was punctuated with almost moving pictures and wholly living specimens.’
