Records about Purdy, Welch & Co from A History of the Traveling Menagerie at

1832: The
Purdy, Welch, Finch & Wright menagerie
of 1832 (23), became Purdy, Welch & Co. in 1833. We believe
Zebedee Macomber
was a partner in this firm, though, as we mentioned, he was in Africa in 1832.
The Purdy, Welch & Co. caravan of 1833 was a very large one, viz: elephant Caroline, two leopards, lioness, two tigers, hyena, alpaca, African porcupine, two camels, two ichneumons, gazelle, young lion, two ostriches, zebra, llama, jaguar, polar bear, and panther.
Stuart Thayer, A History of the Traveling Menagerie
1835: In 1835, the menagerie became part of
The Zoological Institute
