Under the charge of Jamrach's seasoned field agent, Dan Rymer, they have been sent to capture a "dragon" for the menagerie.
Stoker also mentions Jamrach, perhaps even more briefly, in his last novel, The Lair of the White Worm.

A snail, Amoria jamrachi, was named after Jamrach by John Edward Gray, keeper of zoology at the British Museum, to whom Jamrach had forwarded the shell after he obtained it.

Jamrach is mentioned briefly in Bram Stoker's Dracula as the provider of a grey Norwegian wolf to the London Zoological Gardens, which subsequently escapes.
The statue commemorates an incident where a Bengal tiger escaped from Jamrach's shop into the street and picked up and carried off a small boy, who had approached and tried to pet the animal having never seen such a big cat before.
