The twins were 21 years old and both were married, though neither had yet had any children.

On March 10 she had a normal baby boy by caesarean. Little more than two years later she had a girl, also by caesarean, in Gushing, Okla.

The little world herd seems to be doing fine, although Caroline, the female from London, suffered at first from the Arizona heat. Edith may be pregnant, but it did not happen in Phoenix. Until the oryxes are fully acclimated, the males and females are being kept strictly apart...
