He started out from Oakland in December 1919, taking with him his wife, Mrs. Daily Snow, his daughter, Norma, now nearly seven years old, and his son, Sidney. All of them, even to little Norma, wept with him through all of his adventures which carried him across the equator half a dozen times, into the South Sea Isles and through thousands of miles of African jungles.
Mr. Snow regards his trip as successful from the point of view of "filling" the Oakland Public Museum, and beyond his dreams as an adventurer and hunter.
He has shipped back to Oakland the fauna of Africa and a vast number of representatives of practically the entire number of specimens from other parts of the world. They include 800 specimens of mammals to be set up in the Mammal Hall of the museum; 30,000 butterflies, 500 mounted birds, 1,000 skins, 15,000 bugs, beetles, and insects, a complete collection of beads of African bucks, sixty-five complete habitat groups of animals, and a complete motion picture of the entire journey and work.
