Dear Dr. ffrinnell:

Your latter abont tha cracking of teeth

in akulle cf big manroalB has this mctnent arrived*

This' crack ine -Wks tha !:e?;inr.ing of profret-
siva dastructicai of tha teeth* which is more terrltla in
the Bears than :n any ether groiqp knoBm to hb, althouf^ of
course big tueth are prona to cracic under tiie ataoapharic
conditions to which th ay are subjected in Tnusaui*, jarticu-
larly hai^e in the east where the rcoos in wMch thoy are
stored are kept laich of the ti^ia attoohi'^li a terq:eratura«
Tae jrobl«n of p-esirvir^g taeth ha^s not been solved. A
few experiments hcwavjr have e own that tha teeth of skulls
iiHnersed for twenty-four hr-airs in malted paraffin dat;jriorata

«

auc^ more elorly,and scino of them not parcartiblj^ after an
interval of two or bhraa v^ars.

Bat I rafret to eay that owing to the axpews

M^

f

J. a.

ipd trouble involved, auihoritiee har^, have not yet pro-
;vided tha necetsary ap^pcuratuSt and as a result tha teeth

§r9 gOirg to pieces tjndar our vary eyes^

^ A few yaars a£:o Gerrit Uiller ri£;gad up so^ne
sort of a vessel filled with paraffin and haated by gas«

if I remriiber correctly, in ^nich skulls wara allowed to
remain for twenty-four hours or lopger* Skulls so treated
take up a large amount of paraffin and are darkened in
color and, I ehould say at a guess, doubladin wai^t, but

i^ i ■■> '«

the teeth are prasarved at least for a long period*

. Anything that will keep off the air will tend

to prasarva tha taeth and I believe, thcur^.I have not
tried it, that the taetji might be in a measure protected
by coatl^ them several timas with a saturated solution
of paraffin in gasoline or turpentine* There may be other
substances batter than paraffin; possibly spar vamiah
would do. There is bcur.dless room for exparimant - the

need is urgent.

Since writing you last I have received a fine

*

lot of duplicates of your various papers fraa the Ohivarsity.

There are a few however ir'.idi yoa ha^e published aUe-
where of wMdi I should prreatly arpreciate additional
separate*. For instance, you publidhad a Waw Pockat

Dear Mr* Kellogg:

At lr:jngth T a."^ returning to the Dhi-

vereity MusQLiin the t^yc reniainin^ skulls ycu were kind
encijfii to losji me several months ago, namely » the big
old Grizzly froQi Tra^.i^ers l&ke, Ocloradc, and the vary
old Black Bear 77ithowt jaw from Las Vegafi, New Mexico.
Thjy were sent lyy exi^ress jrej-aidt and I trust will
reach you in good condition* It '^-^as heen a f7*eat

eat:: sf action to have them here i"or conipariscn with our
material, and I hope ycu will return 'jiy appreciative
thanks to the Ifc.saum authorities*

Some ti^e arc yoi; ar.ked me if I kn^w of any
records of Blax^k Bear in Comanche County, Karisas. Not
heinp able to find any such record in my notes, I have
spent scnie ti-ie in soarchir^ the literature, but thus
far withoi^t success* I will kjep the ma* ter in mind

:i

however, and if I find anything later will lat you
know at once* Hunting Bear records is slow work,
but is sotneti^^es rewarded most miexpectedly.

. With best wishes »

Tcur last Bulletin, dated Arril 3, arrived
th:-8 noon* Its rarusal causes two sorrows: firet^
that we shall not sc:»a vou^ ^d second, that you ar>d

Mrs. Gilbert has overtaxed her strength in the master*

On the other hand, Tre ar-^ rrxii^rhty glad that
you havt^ located another good job, and hoja it will lead
to something still be'.ter^

Our Buspicicns that you and voir wife had be-
co^ie reconciled to California are confirrned in the most
satisfactory Ttanner by j/oiir conifTents on t'^^ie State in
general, and Mprin rfc^.inty in particularo The sooner you
are able to locate there, the better it ^ill be for all

of ns. If the California construction concerns only
knew of your superior excellence in various 3ne;ineerir^

i

your wife took so r/n.ich trcv.ble to polish up the house* y

We at predate wiiat you hb.ve done and the feelings that %

promoted it, but it was not necessary and we fear that

i.\

lines you woiold not be allowed to escape the State.

Mrs. U. and I are greatly obliged to you
both for holding down the place and for keeping things
in such good order*

Our love to Mrs. Gilbert when you write.

the difficulty is to jut water on them. Where water
is to be had they are lajidly bjing converted into the
garden srots of the world*

On page 12 I have .nada a few pencil changes
which I think vrill explain themselves* I have struck
cut the word "Boreal* for the Narrows and Wells Mountain,
but have left it where it belongs in the Prostburg region.
Your use of the words "intemediate" and "transition"
differs radically from t>!e use of these terras in zoolo/^
and hotany. With us an "intermediate or transition ape-
cies" means an anr^mel or plant ^vhich in its distinctive
characters is intjmiediate between two ether species*
You use the t^rm in a z co-geographical sense as relatirig
to the species inhabiting the transition zone, which is
quite a different thing* I have therefore taken the liber-
ty on this and the following pa^^e, to make a slight change
in order to brir^ out the usual meanirg*

You ask about the Mountain Laurel on the ridges
east 0-^ Dhiontown. I have never been in this particular
locality, but have assumed that the laurel wa.s tbe common
species, K^lmia latl folia, wliich abounds tlirowiiout the

\u

8r

rssfion^

It saeniB hardly likaly that anyone wcjld axply
the name "Mountain La-urel" to the rhododendron which
also occurs on t-he ridges, and is well kn077n to the in-

hab itants.

Huriny: the fall and -'intor when the leave b

of the deciduous trees have fallen, the rhododendrons and
hemlocks, on accovoit of their evergreen mt'ire.8taT^ out
as the only green things on the noimtain slopes horder-
iiF, Cassellaan River s^nd. Fills Creek, and on .mm of the

I gill very nrach obliged to you for having sent
ne the ^lub Journal' containing your interasting articles
on the md National Road*. I hope that this road will be
put in Budi ccndition that: I may hava the pleasure of

indnstrial home to cara for the sick, and -ivQ instnic-
tion 5r: sanitanr living imdar criide renditions, in most
admirable. As vou of cciTsa know, t'BriO ie no end of
need for just such help. In O^^difomia t-'.ere are :-vmy
remnants of different Inaian tribes who would be .fxeat-
ly benefitted were thjy within reach of such kindly as-
sistance. This is true of Indians living in the north -
em, central, and scuVnem parts of the Stale. But I do
not thin-: of any way by which such an undertskirp; could
be r.iado self-surportirg.

Should ?t[rp. Longneckor cere to look over the
field in Oalifcmia, I wo^ild be only too plad to help
her in svery way within my power, so far as the tir>^6 at
my disposal permits. I could s-^ow her en niaps the loca-

^u

tions of a rreat many Indians, and mirht possibly be
able to visit some of them with her» Ani it might be
worth while for her to talk over the matter with '1. S.
Kelsey of San Jos a, who for some years has been sec-
retary of the northern California Indian Association.

I expect to I'cjave hare for California with
my family on the first of May, and to be located at

]fy dear Sir:

Tary nauiy thanks for your courtesy and
prcmptnass in coroplyiiTg with ny request for the loan of
the haar skulls. Sight skulls from you have bean received;
f o\ir black haara, three grizzlies, and one polar. Two
of the grizzlies are advlt faiaales, the other is an Im-

raature mala*

The polar "baar skull has been considarably
da':Bged by salt or brine, from which circumstance I as-
stud that you have the skin* If so, have you noticed
anything peculiar about the skin, or is it just like
all other polar bears? The skull differs from ttie nor*
mal polar i-^ having the forehead more elevated and the
molar teeth considerably larger*

All three of the grizzlies aro of interest
to me in the present state of my workt particularly the
two females* If you are willing to dispose of these, I
should be very glad to purchase thera. I assume that the
three grizzlies and four blacks ware killed a year ago

in w.:j8t^3m lyoning between the North and South Forks of

Shoshone Biver. ^ . ,

Dear Dr. BLtir^:

In exominin^ sorae hear skulls in the posses*
sion of John Ifii^troyd, 57 West aith Strret, New York City,
I have become interested in a most peculiar skull on which
yo^ir n£ue is written in pencil* The skull is that of a polar
bear :7ith unusiaally hig^ frontal region and pretenmtiorally
big teeth* When and where did you kill this bear? Was it an
old male? And did it differ in color or general appearance
from ordinary J) olars? There is nothing just like this s-oill
in our National Miisexm.

A prompt reply will oblige, as I expect to start
for California next week. By the way, should ycu visit the
exposition at any time between ncM and the end of October,
please drop me a line at Larunitas, Uarin County, Calif ornia,
(twenty-five miles north of the city), and I will try t^ con-
nect with you. I have driven ^ car across th^ continent

Dear Mr* Bird:

Confessions are said to be good for
the soul. I will therefore tell you ^lat has happened
to yotor grizzly skin from Colorado*

When I left Washington for California the
first of last July^ I turned over to an assistant a nim-
ber of skins and soina soills of b^ars to be returned to
various persons who 'lad bt^en kind enough to loan them to
me. Yo^jr skin was a^nong them. Since my return last fall,
the matter has been entirely out of my n?ind until the re-
ceipt of yo^ur most polite letter.

I irmediataly want to the Musau>ii and inade
inquiries as to the whereabouts of the skin* The pjrson
who had attended to the various retuma ascror^d me that
yours had been returned as he particularly ramembered
yoiu: na^ie and Wisconsin address, ha being a resident of
that State. He failed hcwrev^r to find the record of ship*
ment. We also searched tha Biolor::ical Survey reccrda for
date of shipment and accorapanyir^ letter to you, but
neither could be found.

I then suggested that pcssibly the skin

• f *-.

had not \>een re turned, bit was assured t%t this could
not be the case* Hov^ever, we dug into some "big chests
In which baar skins are stored, but did not find yours*
I than requested the assistant to laaice a thorough search
of the collection* Aftjr 3;iveral days he discovered in
one of the "hold up" cases, your skin alonp* ^'ith that of
a big grizsdy from Arizona4

Apart from the delay, no •larm has been
done as the skin is in perfect condition* Nevortheless
I an greatly mortified at the circumstances aVove related*
The skin was - e turned to you by express prepaid today,
and I trust will reach you in perfect condition*

As I wrote you last year, your skin proved
to be of more than ordinary interest; in fact I have
never seen a grizzly from the United States like it* I
greatly appreciate your courtesy in lo^^ning it to me and
regret that owing to an accident it was not returned long
ago.

It has bean extremely difficult to briiig
together enou^^ specimens for a satisfactory study of tha
Big Bears* The number of skins is utterly inadequate, but
we have had better luck with skulls, of ^lich we now have
more than 000 in the National Itisaum collection* By far

B^jrprisirigly few foilly adult males and f eia&Ies. Of
the latter, ycur old fe^oale from Colorado holds a

With renewed thanks for your kindness
in the matter, and apologies for the delay in retium*

Dear Mr. Grosvenor:

Replying to yoiir letter of yester-
day just received, I ain in favor of making the proposed
grant of $2000 to Professor Griggs to enable hiii to study
the revegetation of the large areas buried by the erup-
tion of Katraai in June IviS.

If the time were not so short I TTCuld rec cm-
mend sending a raammal collector also, as thare is much
to be learned about the aamaala of the Alaska Peninsula,
KodiaJc Island, and adjacent islets; arid our kno«rledge of
the bird fauna also is far fran complete.

In connection with this expedition I would
like to again call attention to the lack of good photo-
graphs of the three gr^at volcanoes of Uninak Islarii at
the end of Alaska Peninsula - Shishaldin, Isanotski, and
Pograoni. It may not be practicable for Professor Griggs
personally to travel far enoy^ wast to do this, but it
might be possible for him to secure the cooperation of
someone on one of the numerous vessels that pass to and
fro along this coast. As I have said repeatedly before
the Board for marry years, a series of -ood pictures of

yesterday, telling ma of the number of head of stock
of different kinds killed by ba?irs and other preda-
tory animals during the --razing season of 1914, and
for the accompai^irig sumnaries of reports of super-
visors* This is exactly the infonaaticn I wanted and
I am greatly obliged t.o yoa for your kindiiess in fur-
nishing it*

.., TFith best wishes.

Very truly yours.

Daar Mr. Dixon:

What can you tell me about land bears
in the region adjacent to Barter Island, and anywhere
from Barrow to the Mackenzie?

Several years ago Frederick Lamhart of the
Canadian Boundary Survey loaned me tha s'cull of a big
bear, apparently a grizzly, from t'-.e Alaska-Yukon boujidary
about fifty miles south of the Arctic coaat* Recently
Samujl Mixter of Boston sent the Biolorical Survey the
skin and s-oill of a two ygar old cub labeled Barter Is-
land, AuT'ist, 1913. To my surprise this latter animal
appears to '»^e a very different species from the one killed
by Lambart. Its back is of an unusual color, being largely
whitish or buffy. The sa^e is true of the skin sent in
several years a^-o by Leffi^cjwell from t-oe mainlard back
of Flaxman Island.

Was Mixter* s bear actually killed on the coast
or did it cane from some distance back in the interior?
How near the coast do these big bears rajige and are they
at all coinmon? Did you learn that there are two species
or did the natives regard them all as a single species?

Do Black Bears occur in the mountains back of the coast?
Do you 'nappe- to know whether Grizzlies or Brown Bears
occi.ur within say 150 miles of Point Barrow? Any in-
fornation you can contribute on the subject will be thank
fully received as I ?.m trying to secure ar^ many facts as
possible before publishing my work on the Big Bears.

Plaasa address your reply to Lagunitas, Marin
CGWity, California, a? I expect to go there for the sum-
mer next week.

Tlie next time I see you I want to have a talk
with you about yoxir Aretic trip.

With kind regards.

Very truly yonrs.

Dear Mrs. Oartidron:

On receipt of your letter of April 23

I at once visited the Land Office to see ThaX could be
done and wired you to that effect. I have this moraant
received a latter from the Hon. Olay Tallman, Oonmis-
sioner of the Land Office, statin?: that he h^a directed
the local officers at Mills City to extend for 90 da3'-8
the date at which it will be necessary to furnish evi-
dence of naturalization. The Oornissioner was kind
enoiaph to sand ^ne a press copy of his letter to the
Register and Receiver at Mills Oity* I anclose the
Ba?Tie herewith for voixr information, and am also ret\:irning
the letters you sent mj so that you vail have all the pa-
pers of the ceise in your possession* •% *.-wsk.*X. W,a»a •i^.^.o. ,

I -<>Xf^ct to ;;o to Oalifomia for the season
the latter part of this week* My address until the end
of October will b;3 Lafiinitas, liarin County, 'California*

You are laboring under a misapprehension as
to my position. I retired from the Government service
five years ago, since which I have been conductirg sci-
entific work as Research Associate. Smithsonian Insti-

ll

tution under the H. H. Harriman Fund. For the precad-
Ing twenty.fiva years I had baen Chief of t^'^ Biologi-
cal Starvey, not of the Smithsoni-m Institution*

I arpreciate the serious nature of Mr. Came-
ron'8 illness, but hope that the doctors will be able to
reach the sjat of the trouble. If I c^ he of any as-
sistance to you while in Calif ornia, you will of course
let -me know.

Tery many thanks for your kindness in

ners that both Pritzy and Little Willie are still alive.
I shall make an effort to see them before I r-o, as I am
most anxious -o knew whether they show t^jxtamal charac-
ters by which kidderi m^^y he distinguished from rvas.
Little Tillie*s mother was gyagi; Fritzy*s mother was
kiddari. and I suppose it is safe to aP8U'r» that the
offspring take after their mothers in respect to species
at l^ast.

Dear Urn. Ow»ron:

««%

Thanks for your lattw of the 12th

Snat* this day reoelTsd. I am greatly pained, althou^

not unprepared to learn of your husband *8 death. His

illiiesB was probably incurable. Ihat a pity it is for

stich an ablo man and such a good and useful citizen to

bd •tricken in th» prime of lifel His CMitribution* to

the ornithology of Montana will roaain a noroiraent to hi«
moiaory.

Dr. 15.traer Stone and hie wif« were here a
week or so ago and are probably still in California, but
I do not know their present address. HoweTer I will write
ftr. Stone at Philadelphia so that he may put a notice in
the next *k3k\ thou^ I fear it will be too late for the
Julynunfcer.

Ire you goii^ to be able to sec ire title to
your properly? In case of any trouble with the Lani Of-
fice I woTild suggest that you write to Mr. Frank Bond,
Chief Clerk, General Land Office, liahington. D. C., and
tell him of your husband's death and of whatever diffi-
culties may have developed in the way of completing your
title. Mr. Bond is an ornithologist and came fron iyomii«.
He is familiar with your husband's bi«i «aHr -»ui ♦.^^v ♦u^

n

*.

natter up nher I saw him last spring. I know he will
be glad to do anything in his rower to help you. Ai
the same ti.iK» I realize that the matter of nat.iraliza-
tion is OTttside of his province and is something whicb
neither of us knew anything about.

If I can be of any further assistance to you
you will of course let me know.

Thank, for your leUer of the 2nd inst., jx^st

forwarded to oe f ron Washington.

I an ^ary eilad to know that you have sent
H6 ttw bear skulla with data, as I aa. «oat anxiouB to
eacure as m^ ak^dle a. poaaible of griz^y and brown
bears during the preaent season*

ha Boon as I h^ from the Biological S.^<qr
a. to the sex and age of these riculla, I wiU attend to
the rayn^nt for same. I an partic^arly anxious to se-
cure adult Bales - the n»re the better - and tiill pay a

good price for the same.

f ery trtdy jtfixcs,

Pear Mr. Barnes:

You Burely are a helpful collaborator and
I am delif^ted to learn from your latter of the 14th inst.
that you have a grizzly akull for rae from the Windriver
Mountains. Iron if the ekull has lost tooth and has been
injured by the applicati on of cold lead, it will still be
of value to lae, and I shall be very glad to pay a fair
price for it when I gel back in the fall*

Should you chance to fall in wi^ii any other
bear skulls during the sunmert do not hesitats to let ma
know how I can get hold of then.

I am delighted to know that you are likely to
be in San Francisco early in SeptMfcer. I siiall hope to
see yott here at Lagunitas ah out that tirae.

Very truly yours.

Dear Sir:

Thanks for your letter^ which has been forwarded
to me from Washington. I am glad to know that jrvou can
obtain skulls of bears for i», birt I fear you us© ths
term •brown bear* for the brown phase of the snail black
bear. Brown bears proper are huge aniraals, bigger than
grizzlies, from the nei^borhood of Lynn Canal north-
westerly to Berirg 3ea» But neither brown bears or
grizsdies are known from your island. It is for these
largie bears (both brown and grizzly)/ thai I offered the
hi^ prices previously mentioned. For i^ skulls of
the sisall black bear or its brown phase fron the coast
and TslandSyl will pay from $2 to $4 eacli^ according
to sex, age, and condition*

All specimens sliould be seciarely packed ar»d £ui-
di-essad: U, S. Biological Svrvajfj Dept. of Agriculture,
Wasliington, D. C. In case t}iey are sent by ejLpross they
should be shipped charges collect; in case they are sent
by parcel post 1 will re/ait the postage.

I expect to remain in California at the above

get out before it is too late, I do not know. We have
no skulls froa the Babine or Tacla country or Stuart

Dear Mr. Pearson: »

- Ihen writins you yeaterda- I irmd not

«^ned the slides carefully. On looking th«a over
this mornii« I find '^^- ^^^rs in .he nunibers. ?he ono
of a flock of La-oeliinp Gulls standing on shore is num-
bered 18. idiile 18 on your list c^ls for the Least Tern.
Tlie slide however is a good one and I am j^lad to keep
it. The other case is that of the Black aclrrmer, of
which there are duplicate slidca from the sane ne(5<ti7e.
One of these is correctly waribered 20; the otner^ which
I an retvirninG herewith, is numbered 14, which nunfcer on
your list calls fer th» Sooty Tern. I shall Ve obliged
therefore if you ^ill kindly haye the slide of th» Sooty
Tern sent fte in ewshange for the duplicate SkinaBer iritiich
I am mailing with tliis.

Very tnily yours.

Dear Doctor Stephens:

So you have yielded to the inavitabliil
Wall. I believe you have done ideely, as the Cadillao-e
•aanm to be mighty near the top of the pile according to
present achievement in automobile construction.

I shall be orJy too happy to accept your in-
vitation for a ride as soon as I am free agiin, which will
be any time after July 12. Kext week I shall be very fully
ocoiipied. but will probably drop in at your office some
momirig.

You were migjity good to «end me that monumental
work of AgflU58iz\3with the exquisite illustrati oris by Son*»*x.
I r?^ad the books in 1875 - just forty years ago - and in-
dulged in the hope that some day I mi(^t be the proud owner
of a set.

Last week Susie took us all for a t/ip of a
couple of hundred miles throu^ Santa Rosa, SonomSt and
Napa ValleqpSy going by way of Tocalor^^a, PetalunB., Mark
West Springs, Petrified Forest, and Calistoga, ^x)& spend*
ing the nif^t at a curious place called SequoiaResortt
siti:iated. in the mountains eight miles west of Napa.

I hope that Mrs. Stephens Jias recovered from

I quite agree with you in respect to the aat*

In cflT judflwant $flOtX), or at laoat $6000, womld
be acqply sufficient for the first year» and would-be less
apt to incite opposition* A splendid beginning could be
made in this way, and by letting it be understood that
there was no intention of pushing for rnpidly increasii^

1 think, be mrich greater. .

of the west the hrotm phase predonirates. Black and brown
cubs soraetiines occ'X in the saiae litter, and hronn cubs
when molting so;a9ti?nes change to black. A pecul?ar pale
color phase known as the Glacier Bear inhabits the ley
Boimtains of Southeastern Alasm between Copper River and
L^fnn Carial; and an albinistic phase, creanjr white in color
like the Polar Bear, occ^irs sparingly in the coast region
of British Coliinfcia.

Dear TO:

It is a (5>od while eince I have written you^
owing to the continuous nsitatjons of friends from
the last. Orosvenor and wife and two little J^irls
were here two or three day* «6a^ and Professor ?!• B.
Mlsen, sodlogist, of Coliiifcia, came with his wife and
little girl westexlia^ and left this joomif^. Forrest
Shreve and wife and L« 0« Howard, and also Henshaw and
Osgpod wiere here last week.

I attended the recent cjaetinc of the A. \# 4. S.
in the Bay cities and on Saturday^ Axigiist ?« took an
sao^iiroion of about forty soologisis and botanists to the
top of Tancdpais by rail and walked thence wAsterljr t<>
Yast Peak and down to West Point, ^ere we had lunch*
After Ivaoch we walked westerly, along the Bolinas Bay
Ridgfe to Boot Jack. Trail and down the raountain to ttiir
loods — a great trip*

It was fine that you said Shith were perroi**ted to
carry guns in the Park, h\t^. it was a pity ynu did not
gather in tlie skull of thflCt brown bear. As an offset
jon did a gpod job in security 19 topotypes of Hyotis
fia£il&ilSb« Biey will tickle Jiiller. Next tirae you find
a griz«J.y asleep try lead on him instead of pine cones

Dear Sir:

: Thanks for Yf\\\r letter of J^ily 14.

There are ne "big 9rown Baars in the interior
ol Alaslsa, but Orizaii«B ard cornon in the morintair^
of your region. We have in the National JiieeiE the
akin and skull of a Oriaxly from the iq>per waters of
Forty mie Creak, a little north of your locality.
Ihese hears irary greatly in color so that it would
not be surprising if htmters call sorae of then Brown
Bears. The Black Bear also has a brown phase idiich
however isnwre convm in Southeastern Alaska than In
your region. Tkhe baXd tm^e bear xdiich you niontion us
usually an old grizzly In suiawr coat. In rjoy case I
trfiall he glad to piirchase as iwny ektills as possible
of the IftTGe beaars frora jf^xir regionj, and hope the trapper
to n^om you gR^e rny previous letter will succeed in se*
curiiig a nui'i'er — the more the better.

Bears of the coast are widely diffor^it f roH '
those of the intericnr and are irpich larjjer.

Bach skull should be caref^illy labeled with the

rmxy^ of the collector, the locality #ierd killed, approxi-
piate date» and sex i*ren known. Sone taf^ are enclosed
herewith. Skulls oav be sent either by narael i>ost or by
express, and should be addressed: U. ". Biological Survey,

Your letter of t}ie 5th inst. has

In my hock antjtlefd •Kanwaia of the Adirondacks" 1 des-
cribe in detail the operation of remoi^ng the 3cent
sacs from skiLnks. The operation on the youn^ is very
siniple and altsost siu'e ^o prove a friccess. I have liad
as *'Hny as ten alive at ore time after r-OTOvirig the sce-nt.

T}ie cbnoxions litjiiid is contained in
two sriall sacs enclosed in a lar^.^ tSiz^^rd-llKe nriscular
nass Wide} I stir rounds the ractora. The sacs votay be dis-
sected out ard -eraoved by in<?ans of either two incisions
one over^aah sac, » ^*r a single nedian incision. As a
precaution it is well to ligate the loTig nipple- like
dvicts *^hroui:;h wJ-dch th^^ scent is expelled^ and wiiich fjay
be foxiiid in tJ-ie i-iarj^r. of tlie anus. This prevents any
accidental dieciiarije widen mi(^t prove hif^ly inconvenient.

'Hhen the entire nriscular cass is re-
moved the res'ilting cicatricial tissue sonetines strangi:-
lates r.he rectura at this x^o^i^tSO that it f^y be better to
dissect out the sacs separately, one on each side of the

Dear Sir:

Tour latter of July 29 has been forwarded to
me from the Biological SiirTey.

In reply to your inquiries would state that I
an glad to purchase skulls of grizzly bears idiether per-
fect or not, the price depending on the agif. and condition
of the skull. Skulls without lower jaw will be accepted,
but of course are not worth so i?wch as those with the jaws
and teeth conplete*

Bullet holes, if acwil, nake no difference in
the price, but badly damaged skulls are of course worth
less than prefect skulls. I shall be ^i;lad to purchase all
the skidls of grizzly bears which yon are able to sec^ire
and will pay the hi^^esl price for sane, acconUng to age^
:, ar4 conditSon.

The nn should not be stated on the label unless

it is positiTely known. In the case of aAilt skulls I can
always tell the sex from the skull, but in the case of young
skulls this is sometimes inqpracticable.

your T\xr Seal Repqri, both of which reached ice laat

I f;iiJLj^ appreciate your agreeable Benaa-

Dodger* on returnir^/^o ChicafiO. I have several timea
enjoyed the earoe kii^ of a thrill. Yeaterday and the
day befora I steered Qwi^ throu^ the congested streets
of San Frajwisco •- anotfher kind of a thrill.

Last week Urs. Hbrriam and I ioade an autfl^
trip to Clear Lake, and were thaidcful that we live nearer
the ed<je of the coast fogs. The prettiest si^t we sas
was a co\q[>le of spotted fawns standing knee-deep in a
small stream during the heat of the day.

t^vr Seal Beport looks mi(^ty interesting,
and I shall go o^ier it at the first opportiirlty. You
are to \js congratulated on havii^ it coc» out in such
good f ora.

Tiis^ the TamalpAis ejccursion was a decided

G>-and Trunk Pacific,

IJeax Sir:

For. some years past I ha^e been 0R.therin6

mterial for a laonoeraphic work oSjeare of North
Anerica. but it has been extremely difficult to se-
cure enoiv^ skulls of griazliaa to admit of mR>ir«
tne T^^» of the various species. NeTertheless we
have succeed** in obtaining abowt 500 skulls of big
bear, from various parts of Alaska. British Coliai)ia,
and the western United States, all of wdch are now
in our National Jiiseura at Waatilng^on.

Recently I have bean told that you are likely
to be in a position to help in secu'-ing a»iditional
skulls. If you happen to know any beer huntere or
others who }uive skidls on iiand. I shall be greatly ob-
liged if you will kirxUy put rae in corownication with
thaD- The price paid for grizzly skiiLls varies ac-
cordiiig to aga, sex, and condition from $4 each for
young skulls, up to $10 for adult- feraales, and $15 or $20
for t;coa old males. If you can assist me in this rnatter
I shall be very {^eatly obliged.

Very truly yours.

Dear Sioldon:

The enclosed latter from Fairbanks reached
me last evening. Is the sheep head referred to of
Special intarest? -v'

^ - Since coming to California I have written
to practically all the postmsters in Alaska and Yukon,
and to about one hundrea of those in British Coliasbia,
in the hope of securing additional skidls. As a result
some thirty-two skulls had t<^en received when I last
heard froa ^ishington. anong ^.hem fourteen of grizalies
and big brown bears. Besides the above, I have letters
stating <Jiat other skulls are on the way or about to Te
■hipped. Of these, the batch to which I anlookir^ for-
ward with keenest interest is one from Yakutat Bay, said
to contain three big skulls from the south ar^ east sides
of Yakutat and Disenchantment Bays. I an hoping that one
of these HiU turn out to be an adult male of IJrsus nor-
— itfiich up to date has not been seen.

How have you and Mrs. Sheldon been during the
suiwer? We trust that you and the. children have been free
from sickness of any kind.

Owing to the Riposition we Irnve had more than
the usual nurfier of visitors - nearly forty so far, I be-

Dear Nelsoh:

Thanks for yours of August 27, telling me
a^'Out the receipt of t:wo more batches of bear skulls,
one from Lcuis BdLl of Seward, Alaska, the other from
B. M. Ai'.lson of Yakutao, .Alaska.

You say nothing about the coMlti^n of the
skidls from Louis Bell, and state that he sent throe
skulls of brown bears and two of blacks* In hie letter
he states that he s}iipj)ed three browns and three blacks,
Are all of these skulls labeled for locality*^

In trying to make out pay voiicliers for the
various batches of skulls received, I find the data fur-
nished in yotir letters ins^ifficient in most cases to
justify fixi}ig a price. In some cases however the con-
dition is mentioned; but hardly ever is anything said
about the data on the labels.

Many tlianks for the batch of labels which
have just arrived and were badly needed.

Siric-e you are silent, on the loatter of leav-
ing Waaiiington, I am venturij^ to send this to the home
base.

As ever yo;irs, ^

Professor Baird*8 influanc© on geography »5ui in-
direct, but none the less ia?;ortant. fie was primarily a
nat'.ralist, and with the necessities and instincts of a
naturalist was obliged to take account of geograpluc fea-
t'ires and their effect on the distribution of aniiwls and
plants. It is not surprisinG therefore to find Ms name
ainong those of the early writers on geographic distribu-
tion in itnerica. and to discover geographic inf onaati on of
▼alue in his contributions to the natural history of tha
Maxican Boundarj^ Siinrey and in the great roluines on mraraals
ar^ birds which he contributed to the series of Tran«Jon-
tinental Railway Surveys in 18E1 and 1808. His nains-
taking c}^pt9r on localities visited by Gcvernnent
tions in the early fifUes in wi^at was then the ^ar west
has been a blessing r.o subsequent workers.

But Baird*8 service to geography is not to bo
measured by his own publication., but ^ather by those of
the score of mturalisfs. geologists, and e^lcrer. who
owed their app.introent to hi« .'-ecor-nar^ti on. and ^o.e
rotxtes and obaarvatione w.re largely bawed u.on his advice
And it is well known that for a q^,artar of a cantr^. begin-
ning an lafO. no mar. was n.,ra influential in detennini^ the
l!!'A.^^^»J_5^--'>--±£ acientific exploration in th*

^T

Unitad SUttas and Alaska^

Baird was a kindly nan, always extending a
holpful hand to youne ^^"^ interested in the natural aciencese
Those of MA who had the good fortune to come under hia
guidance liien still undecided as to the future, think of
him with gratitude and affection. He was a wise counselor,
and so modest, sincere, and honest that he held, perhaps
longer than any other scientific man, the confidence and
esteem of Congress.

Ve liTS in a period of such acute personal in*
terests and si^h rapid personal successions that the son
hardly has time to take account of his father *s achieve**
ments, and few of the yom^er naturalists and geographers
stop to think of the status of their sciences a generation
ago, or of the difficultias and meager resources of those
who laid the foundations for the work on ifcich they are
engage* ^^^ today realize the extent and coaprehensive*-
nastt of Baird*s contributions to the Jtoology of North America
and only a few of the younger men are aware of th# prodigous-
ness of the task ho set for himself --the preparation of
monographic revisions, based on the study of flew material,
of the raamals, birds, reptiles, batrachians, and fishes of
the Horth Anerican continent.

It was Baird*8 lot when entering the prime of
to be called to a hi^ administrative position^— the

Assistant Secretaryship — followed later by the Secre-
taryship — of the Steithsonian Institution, in connection
with i*iich, and with his later creatiom the National Mu-
Bmm and the U. S. Fish Conndssion, he becane so overbnr-
dened with public and adndni strati ve duties t?iat little
time was left for scientific research, nevertheless Ms
monumental works on marimals arnl birds were written at odd
moment s during this trjring period.

Ihen Conraissioner of Fi eh and Fisheries he
planned and was the njeans of carrying out elahorat* inves-
tigations not only of the ratiu-ol hiatorjf of aqMatic ani-
mals, but of the waters 'henselTes. including the topography
of ocean bottoms and the effects of ocean temperatures on
the distribution of aquatic aninals.

Baird»8 greatest mistake -* •Tldently due to
the entreaties of relative. - was in declinine Audubon*,
urgent and repeated invitation to accorapany him in 1S43
on his expedition to the then remte Yellowstone RiTer.

By Great good fortune the materials for Baird's
biography were placed in the hands of Br. wjnian H. IMl
for many y^ars an afl«wi«te and intimeta friend. Ifcugr i^t.
t*r. are giren. often introdt^ced and tied together by en- "
li^teaing renBTk.. indicating the wide «:ope of Baird*.
xnteraats and activities, arri tf^owing hi. relation, with
Audubon. %as.is. Henrv. ir-««4«^*» t... . ^

IdBdral Farragat, Kliaha Kent Kane, and other prominent

nen of the time.

In reading the volune one is impreat with
the feeling that Baird's life was in the main a rather
HjonotonouB, albeit succesBful, struggle to increase the
•cope and output of scientific research in America, and
to dignify the portion of science in the councils of the
Ooveranent. And one closes the book with a sense of grati
tude to the author and of admiration for the great man
wh*8e inspiri-^ example, i^ose helpfianess to others, and
whose energy and patient perseverance accomplisht so much
for jnankind*

Dear Mel son:

Tours of the let inst* caz*ip yesterday, and
I was glad of the infomation it contained, esceptirg
that relating to the Cliief, i?5hich ^*s discouraging.

It is pleasiiig to know that the second ahip^
raent of bear skulla froia Loiiis Bell has arriTed, but yoxu*
estipiate of the brown bear skull does n^t agree with Ms*
You call it a female, lehile he says it is tyie biggest and
finest niale he ever saw, and thinks it iiiust be a record
head*

Thanks for the envelopes, idiich doubtless will
airlye in a day nr two, and will be very htirdy in ^his
ursine correspondence.

I hate on hand here at Lagimitas a grizzly
skull frMi British Coli:8d3ia, and a big cinnaz&on bear from
northwestern California, and an eiqpecting a coiqae of
other grisslies in the near future.

lith kind regards to you all, and hoping

that Henahaw is Mmself a^n.

Dear Sir: ^

Thanks for your letter of the nh inst. just
received. I do not know of any way by nMch the age
of a bear can be told from the •looks of the aninal*
when it is killed, the only guide beirig the wkull and

* • • •

teeth. In old bears the teeth are much worn, sorne-
tiraes broken, and the bones of the skull are very irmch
more strongly developed than in young and middle-aged
anirnals.

I ahallbe glad ^o pay $2 each for skulls of
coTjgar and black and cinnanon bear; $1 each for wol-
verine; and 75^ e€U5h for fisiier and lynx, asstming that
these are labeled for the locality where killed. &ich
skulls need not be cleaned, provided the brains are re*
mo ted throu(^ the nati^ral opening in the bcick of the
skull, and the thick outside flesh citt «ff. Aft^r this
is done the skulls should be allowed to dry in the
shade, and then they nay be sent by parcel poet, addressed:
U, S. Biological Survey, Dept. of Agricultiu'a, Washington,

I hope you will succeed in obtaining skulls of
grizzly bears iroin sone of yorj- trappers. I expect
return ".o Washington about the end or October.

Dear Arch:

Yours of the 20^h reached rae this morniiig.

As to your friend who is going to motor to
San FraBcieco and is tMnkiiig of both Yoseraite and Tahoe:
These two places as you doubtless know, are not on -he
saine routes and cannot be easily reached, one from the
other. Both a^^e safe up to the middle of October, pro-
vided the weather is good at the east base of the range,
but ou^t not to be undertaken if a stom is in s:^t
as redn in the foothills means snow in the hit^ mountains.
X would advise your friend to take the Lincoln Hltjhway to
Reno. The route we took ?ia Truckee is all r?^ for bjtj
good car which can make the 32i percent grade between
Donner Lake and Sucisit. The snowshed crossii^ has been
abolished and a cut under the railroad siibstituted, mi^ch
to the joy and safety of motorists. This jxass is nut quite
8000 feet, and therefore nearly 3tX)0 feet lower than the
Tioga Road pass which leads to Crookers, a little north
of Yos6oiita«

If your friend wishes to visit Lake Tahoe it
would be easy for hira to do so from Tj-uckea, as the Tahoe
roads are said to be in excellent condition. If he does
this, it would be better perhaps to take the PlacerTill#

1 1

; 1

A.M.6. 2

grade to Sacramento, rather tJian the Donner-eolf ax grade
which we took. Both roads are said to be in good condi-
tion. In any case, he should go to Reno first, and then
decide whether to c<mtim» by Bonner of Placerville.

If he wishes to visit both Tahoe and Yosemite,
he had better tackla Yosemite from this sidei that is,
after reaching Sacramenta Tie roads f roia Sacramento south
are said to be in ezceUect conditioci^ and throe, distinct
roads into Yosemite are now vised by motor! sts# All of
these are rather hard on the car and the driver, and re-
quire careful drlTing* All have steep grades. If I were
goir^g to Yosemite now I would leave my car at Iferced and
take the railroad into Yosemite — a beaiitlfnl trip up
Iferced canyon*

le are glad t}>at the chance of your coming here
is so good« and wish that yojui^ could come earlier and stay

later.

■♦. t

As to the. wood supply: I dOR*t want you to buy
wood, neither do I want^ you to bum up v^ wood-piles
which I have in part rebuilt.. and wish to have r^ody f or ne:
season. I. had thou^^t of irarkiiig Sr lot of trees for yoa
to cut^but perhaps the saf ^r way would be f or ii^ to liave
tham cut before I leave so that there would be no chance
ol cutting the wrong trees. Then you can do the triinoir^
and paokim; or hire it done^as you i^refer.

a special hole for it in the end of the chimney opening

Dear Mr. Beaton:

lh«n I left Washington last spring wa had

not arrived at a satisfactory plan for tha garage to t*
built in tha yard at tha raar of ny house, 1919 16th
straafi. Tha plan provides also for tha building of a bath-
rooa to axtanl from tha laundry to tha present senranis*
iratarclos^t mdar the kitchen steps*

I aspect to return about the ^id of Octo-

.* ft

ber, cmd would like to build a geurage as soon as possible
thereafter* I s}mll be gjLaid therefore if you will taka
the raatter up again in view of the enclosed plan*

The gEurage i^ould have cai>acity for two
cars — a small one measuring 14 feat in lar^;;tlit and a largi
one 16 f oet« Tha width of tha cars is 5 feat 9 inches, and
it is necessary to have plenty of rocn on both sides* The
doors will have to be extra vide. Tha hai^ii of tha doors
should not ajDcead 8 feet 6 inches, and the hai^t of the
garage ceilii^ inside not over 8 feat 9 iiK^hes* The alao-
trio wire and staoci-heatar outlets can be arranged later*

Very truly yours.

inat. fro* Oardiner. -^

It is good that you liate had anch an interest-

But it is ny private opinion that you are too old for
sooh hard and protracted horseback riding. However, I
strongly suspect that you will keep at it until you

check in.

Thanks fpr the infonnation about the grizslies.

It is of the utmost possible importance to aecure evexx
adult skull that can be had in.the iiaaediate future, tod
I would tharfc n^ lutAy stars for a chance to purchase a
couple of thousand dollars* worth during the next six
weeks. Ihat w» need is skulls, and we ne«i than ri^
now and all we can possibly get.

I will write Bsbert liLller at Jackson by this

Mr. Bohei-i «***^* ,

Forest Sapt^r visor,
Jackson,

Dsar Sir:

Vernon Bailey writes roe that you have the
skin and skiill of a grizsly killed on Buffalo Creek,
south of the Park, awl also that you know of another
akull which you cached in a tree some yeikra ago*

As Bailey probahly told you, I tm laost anxious
to obtain as roany dciills of grizzlies as possible, par-
ticularly adults, froo anywhere, especially from the
general Park region, and tfiall be glad to pay rather
hi^ prices for the same.

If you will kindly let m know the value of the
akin and skull you have on hand, I shall be greaUy obliged.
And I shall also appreciate yoin- kindness if you will make
a special effort to recover the big skull you left in a tree.
If it is a tig old nale in fair condition, I should be glad
to pay at least $30 for it,

Ify address will be as above until the latter
part of October, when I expect to return to Washington, Do C.

A few tags are enclosed herewith.

fery truly yours,

lir. Rudolph Rosencrans,
Horan,

Ttyo.

Dear Sir:

A letter just received frora Vernon Bailagr

tello rae that you are in a position to obtain grizsly
bears. I am anxious to secure as raany skulls as possi-
bl., and should be glad *^o I»y ^^^''^^^ ^°^ Prices for
the sarae. provided each is labeled with the locality
^ere killed. 1 woixld he glad also to purchase a few
co^lete nwiett« specimens - skins accompanied by their
proper akulU - in case t^e value of the slcins is not
too great. Should like to know idiat you consider a
fair price for a gpod Bkin with skull. Skulls of adult
and old bears are worth much more than those of young
bears, and n«les are .ort^i 3ors than feriales. At the «une
tim I shall be ^ad to piarchase all tixe skulls you can
get. irrespective of sex aM a^e, the price yaryineac-

cordingly.

I an anxious to secwe these specimens as

eaxly as possible for the reason that my book on the Big

Bear's is likely ^o go to press during the winter.

)fy address will ha as arove until th« latter
part of October, when I expect to return to Was).ircton. Tl.

k few tags are anclosed herevath.

Uj'' dear Sir:

Yoiir latter of Jiily 4 has reached rae here
in California ^lere I ha^e he«n spending the smopaer.
The Biological Survey has <'icknowled^sed ^ece5pt of the
three heari^ you sent in -- one old browi bear, an adiilt
black bear, and a frnonent of a black bear. The^^ Baj*-
that the second skill I which yon labeled as a brovm bear
is really a black. I an therefore entering it as snch
on your voucher. I will examine it carefully on v?j re-
turn to Washington next month, and if by any possibility
Tl turns out to be a brown or grizzly instead of a black,
I will credit you the dif'^^^rence in value.

I hope you will succeed in obtaining addi-
tional skidls this fall, as I an particularly anxious
to ieoiire as nany as possible this year.

Sorry to learn that you had such hard liick
as to lose a horse by drowning. Thanks for the speci-
mens of coppei; which of course I liave not yet seen.

With best wis}ies,

Ymim cif yesterday Ims jnst arrivad.

I t,hoii^^)it you said there were eleven of your family and
tha Aliens, making fifteen with our fanily, but according
to your letter there are only ten in all. Sirice ^/nriting
,.^u. Professor Bailey Willis of Stanford jias accepted,
xnakinf^ eleved instead of sixteen* which is nuch better.

T}is seco.nd letter from Hain which I expected toda3r^
h»a •"-* iw I J-vect, and cannot arrive before toroorrow raorn.ir^*B
tiail, so I will have to wait for it before poing to the
city to seo you. I -.vill loave here tharefcre nn the 11:06,
rftacliirig the city aJr.out 12:40, and shall arrive at your of-
fice about or a littJLe before one o'clock. If you have al~
roMLy £^,-e I will wait till eay 2:30 and then plione you at
yoiu- Aiai.ieda office, tellin,- you yAmt Hain»B lapt word is.

We are all pleased to know that you are willir^
to spend the ni.-^t at Sar, Jose, b.it I wotald s;,Gr>9a1l. the of-
ficial A.A.A. Hotel fendom instead of the St.. Jwoee, as the

I stopped there I determined never to go there a^ain. T^^
Latcher Cmraije that you mention i8.clo«e by the Vendo,ie.

I fear it -^11 nat be practicable to naice the

No word trrm you yet^ hut I an hopijig it

will arrive hy the mominc nail.

Today •a ?^il brou^^Jit a latter from Dr.
Staphiens, giving the needed infonnation ahout the r^at
of the party. Altogether in the three cars there will he
BIX men and five woraen, vaMking only eleven in all, inste^.d
of fifteen a» I wrote you before. This will cut a littla
corner off tiie {pnib pile, but will not chajige the loalf
dozen chickens.

Tlierefore if j^our wagon will carry five worion
there will ha no need of another wagon. I asst^ie that in
case ano^}ier camping place is decided on, j'-ou wou].d be able
to haiJ. the beds and gnib in yoivr wagon after hauling the
woGien. Anj^how I await your reply w?.th interest ,

We now expect to spend Friday nigjit at San
Jose and to start for Cook as early as we c^n get break-
fast — Bay between s^x a>'id seven --so we may roll in
upon you earlier than exj^ected, possible by or a little

forwarded from Waaliington.

nnfortr*nat3:ly I cannot answer votir
question about Dr. Fewkes* publications on the cliff

papers on the Ho-pe Indians, 80i>ie of wliich I feel sur-e
are distributed free by the S^thsonSan Institution. If
I wore in Wasiiincton I would find out about them and let
you know. But as it is I woiild suggest that 3rou write
direct to Dr. J. Walter Fewkes at the Sruithsoninn Insti-

Please remember me kindly to Mrs. Town-

County — ft piftce well wor+.h vi si ting, consisting of a superb

live oak plain loadir^G into two rocky canyons in the Gabi-
lan Raj>ge,

Wo are very glad that you can come here early in
Koveriber, and only wish that we nicht stay to seo you in-
s'^led. But it seeras iraporatlve that we shotdd be in Waah-
incton not later than Noveiriher 1.

You are ri(Hi+, in assxiainG ♦-hat wo /uive not been
here in winter, provided yoiu- winter begins after Chritsms.
I have been here two different ya:u-s until about December ?»,
and have enjoyed the latter part of the stay irr^nsely, and '
had no trouble in keeping the living-roon warm. November
and Deceraber are ueually beatitiftd months here - a rain now
ajid t)ien,with fine sunshiny weather between.

Ap. to the use of the snail stove; Redwood c^artainly
is toT^hy about heat, bnt the difficdty from this .oiu-ce na^
be met by tising more pipe, of wJiich there", an abundance up-
stairs, and by interposing tin. zinc, sheet-iron. or boards
between tJie heater and the finished wood of the rooras.

Aljont t}ie wood: We have not yet quite worked out

i I

/^

the problem, but have not hy any raeans given +}ie rwtter up.
It strikes ne that the question resolves itself into this:
whether 5t is cheaper to hiiy and haid, or to hire the wood
cut on the place. On inqidrjr 1 an told t>iat Frank Elliott
furnishes "pine^, by \tfiich he noans Douglas spruce, in cord
wood length at $? per cord delivered* But thus far I have
not learned \v}xere oak wood may be purcbAsed thi s si de of
Olema. Just )^at it woiild cost to have the wood cut here
and backed to the house I don't know.

Wiile as you say, there would be room enou/ii for
a 8^*ax5k of poles on the roadway leadin^^ to the p;araee, I
should not want to have wood sawed there because of the ac-
cumulation of sawdust that would inevitably result*

Anyhow, there is a moderate -si zed wood pile where
the old one was last winter; Klongs?de the woodshed, wJiich
you nay use un^il you work out the supply problem in what
api>eals to you as t>ie best way.

We are all inaensely deli(^ited to know that /ou
and Mrs. Arch liave actually arrived at t)ie point where you
are seekinc a California hone. In t>iis connection it seens
to 130 tliat you must decide first wiiether you are ^.illing to
live in a city or suburb — w/dch ^eans good clothes and
liberal contributions to lo<;al iraproveraents and so on --
or whether you will be content in the country, and take a
little longer to get into town when necessarj?^. Ross and
Mill Valley and several other attractive nlaces nearby

OSS

I

have beautiful residence districte, but lard is hi(^ and '
eipenseB liieher. The only other place we thjnk of on the
Bay side of Whites Hill is Baltimore Park - a redwood
canyon mt^r Larksptu- - a horrible naim for a rather at-
tractive place. On this side of Whites Hill you have
endless opportT-.nitj es all the wa;^ from Woodacre to Lagu-
nitas o.Hjiyon. In V-is ret'i o^f^^penr to be a lar^^ number
of attractive places, v^iich I assume could be had at a
reasonable price. Right here at Laetmitas several places
are posted for sale, both on our side of the canvon. and
on top of ^,he hill on t},.e ot' .r side, with houaeB/ s^oV
as they a^e. already built. You did not say ^.ather v^u are
lookinc for a house which you could alter or add to, Or for
an unbnilt site. If land with trees on it is all you want.
-lz..«8t anyone wo,dd sell you whatever you fin.1 to .m^^ JiUrv;
Tou will have lots of tine to look about in Nov^^lr when tb.

You ask about cleaning skulls. I do not know
of any simpler way to clean ^Jci-^m than by boiling, but it
is not necessary to clean the skulls thor^u-^ily, as we
have them cleaned af^er reachir^ the Mi'setna. The best way
is to Birnply cut off the tongue and remove the brains
throurh the natn.ral opening in the back of the skull,
care being taken not to injure the 'ones. Such skulls
should he thoroughly dried but should ^ot be dried neav

I reinamber you vary well in connection with

the spring of 1910, since which I have been anr:ap:>3d
mainly in work on North A'nerican mainmals. Just now
I am trying to cornrlete a book on the "^"ig bears of
North America. Therefore it is more than five yer-rs
since I liave eiTr*loyed aryona in the field and I do
net see any likelihood of dfling anything of this
sort in the futuj-9. From ti^iie to time, however,
openings occur in connec-tion with the field wrrk of
the Biological Survey, particularly in the line of
tha dastriction cf noxious aninals, cMefly wolves
and cq^rotes* SlicrJd you come East this winter, I

Referring to the accompanying bill of

apartment 701. the Northumberlarxl. would state that I
left Washington on May 10 and notified vou of the fact,
and did not return until Sunday, October Slst, diiring
which period of five and a half raontha no current wa* used
in my apartment. That the current was actually turned off
is ohvio'js froni the fact tha^ when I tried to turn en the
light on my return on Sunday, October 31s ^, there was no
response. I then telephoned your office and the man
answeriig the phone stated that he would, if possible,
send someone up to put on :.he current » but was not sure
thsLJ he could do this before Monday* I asked the janitor
if he could attend to it and he replied that he coi;ld not,
but later he made the connection with a fuse and on Monday
the cirrent was on.

I am perfectly willii^g, of course, to pay for the
month ending in May and for November, but not for the in-
tervening period frcm June 1 to October 31, when ary office
was closed and no current used^

study of the Big Bears of North America, and tha pre-
paration of manuscript and illustrations for tha
press, (king to tha scarcity of specimens of soma of
"oha Icjss known special;, final effort was made to obtain
additional skulls, and several hundred letters were
written to hunters, postmasters, and others, mainly
in Alaska, Yukon Territory, ajod British Oolumbia. Tha
result was mora fraitful than anticipated, more than
fifty skulls h^virig been received. These have proved
of inestimable value in clearing up points previously
in aoubt as to the c-mracters of several of the species*

Tha labor of searching the literatura relating to
early errloration, hunting, and travel for records of
bear and ouher animals, has bean continued, and large
additions 'nave bean made to the files of material
relating to North American mancmls arji to the Indian
tribes of California and Nevada. But owing to the
desirability of conrlating the bear work as early as
possible, l!:;ss field work than usual was done.

Dear "jr. yinlav:

• -

The receipt this normng cf the
acaeou^Qilaiaaa for October containing an article on
Staana Mountain, gives .-ae m unplesanL feeling.and reminls
me that ohe iiarae of Ais most interesting uplift is usually,
if not always, aiiaspelled in your Jourral. Steens Mountain'
was naned many years ago in honor of Lieutenant Steen of the
Arny. Oonad^;oently the Bpalling "S^.ien" used in the .Oregon
SjufflrrtsjjfffiE ie absolutely incorrect.

In this connection, it -night be well to bear in mind
that you have in Oregon, with headquarters I believe in
your own city of Portland, a rather active "^tat^ Board on
Geographic blames, which Board cooperates ^ith our aovemment
Creoeraxhic Board. The last c&apljte publication of the
findings of the Crovemnient Board was published b, the
Government Printer in 1911, subsequent to which, '/aa Beard
lias published only appendices.

I an glad to see the continued excellence of ;he

Dear Mr* Thayar:

Thanks for your latter of the Elet inBt<

just racaiTad*

I have baan intendiqg to write you for
many weeks back, but ha¥tt kept delaying in the hope of
obtaining succees in a series of experiments conducted
with the assistaoe of chemists hero, with the object of
dissolving the hard scale from the Lagunitas water fihidb.
I brought homo for the purpose* But this scale prorea so
obdurate that for the present I gire it tqp. Howerer^ I
still believe that coomon washii^ soda (carbonate of soda)

in hot water will soften and loosen the stuff so that it

/♦- ^*
may be washed out If you attarfi a strong hoae to ths de-
tached radiator. Mj trouble was that I did not uncoi5)le
the radiator, and could not of course drire the water out
throi^ the smadl hole in the petcock.

Before I forget. I nust ask you to please
sand m the 1916 license plate number of the car. as I hare
to giva It in ray application for a new license.

Now for the car: I wish you woiild' glT»

It is comforting to know that Coiwau

news*

At the bottom of your letter you mention a
bear skull from Pt* De Witt Olintcau This interests me

graatly, as I have baen utterly unable to see enough
material from the Arctic to justify final conclusions
concemirg the land bears cf that region. I am wonder*
ipg therefore if you could not loan me this skull for
a short time. Have you any other bear matericd from
Arctic or f^ubarctic America^ aicaptlng black becurs,
which I do not care to take up again at present?

Dear Mr* Keiman:

Thanks for your letter of the 7th inst*,

and for the little hook entitled •The »lhicago and Altcai
Case* Tfhich arrived this momiiTg* I have read it throu^
with the greatest interest^ and feel a personal obligation
to you for the thorough manner in ijhich you have exposed
the misrepresentations as to Mr. Harriman's purchase and
reorganization of the Road* Your showing of the facts
seems to me unanswerable; and at the end you appear to
have ripped Ripley so deeply that neither Surgeon nor
psychologist will ever be able to restore him to an

honorable position in humar society.

In reading the book I am much inrpressed
with the vast amount of studying you must hi^ye done along
lines nhidi I assume to have been entirely new to you, and

which you evidently have mastered*

With congratulations and best wishes to

Mrs. Kennan and yourself.

Dear Doctor Rathbun!

Thanks for yoxir letter of the 13th

which she desires to dispos* of. She seame to think that
the skull of this bear is in tie National Museum but, as
you say, this is not the case. I do not remember to have
seen such a skull in the Biological Survey Oollaction,
but will look the matter up at once, and if we have the
skull, will write Mrs. Martin with a view to the possible

purchase of the skin.

Thanking you for callingny attention

to the matter*

Very truly yours.

you by this mail a copy of my doecriptions of a lot of

the griazliea ia not always easy to deteraine. As a
rule, the grizaliea have longer, anoother. and less
curvld foredawi. often whitish or yellowish in color,

Dear Ndlson:

Raplying io your mamorandum of t>» 17th

inst*. concerning the spelling of the geographic name
Okanogan^ would state that this spelling is given for
the county, fort, and river, in the State of Washing-
ton, and also for the lake ard town in British Oolumbiat
and is the only fonn used by the !!• S* Geographic Board.
(See Third Report, page 117, 1907 and •Correct Orthography
of Geographic Nanies*, page 108, 1911.)

However, in many cases the spelling of the
same naoie differs materially in different localities.
Thus Allegany (without the Ji) is the correct spelling
for a township in Pennsylvania, while Allegany |> with the
ll^, and with the final vowel sl instead of jjt, is the correct

spelling for the mountains and river. Similarly, the
names of towns eure often spelled in two or more ways,
according to the State in which located. As a rule,
these differences in spell ir^ adopted by the Geographic

Board are in accordance with local usaga, and in con-
formity with tlB form made official by act of legisla-
ture, articles of incorporation, or other legal action.

Very truly yours.

Dewr Sir:

Tour letter of September 17 has only just ar-

riTod. I im veiy glad to know that you can obtain skulls
of griwly bear, for us. and shall be glad to pirchase all
you can get. Probably the bears yga call half-breed are
(,^.iia.. i.« tha fragments of skin enclosad appear to be-
long to a grizzly. •

I do not care for fishes, plants, or birds, but

In addition to the grizzly bears, would be glad to purchase
a tvm okuil* of black i»«4urs, and of wolTerine and lynx.

The price paid. will depend on the sex, age, and
condition of the skull when received. Sach skull should
be labalsd with a tag stating the locality, sex, and date
irtien known, and your own name. Sone Bix>logical SurT«(y la-
bels are enclosed herewith.

Tou asked for directions for the preparation of
spacSmens. All that is necessary is to cut off the thick
fleih and remoTe the tongue, ccura being taken not to in-
jtire the delicate bones at the back part of the palate.
The brains should bo remoTed throp^ the natural hole in

\

the back part of the skull, care being taken not to cut
the bone. The skulls itty then be dried, and when fUlly
dry may be sent in the way that is most conrenlent for
you — either by parcel ^oat or by express. If sent by
parcel post I shall be glad to ,^it the amount of postage.
Always notify us of the date of 8hlpi«,at, and whether dip-
ped by parcel post or express.

Specimans for shipnent shoald b« carefully packed
each skull baiqg wrapped in paper or clothe and if s^t \jf
expresBt should be boxad« addressed: U. S« Biologieal Surrey^
Dept. of Agriculture^ WashlngtoUt D. C,^ and manned ^Aiarges

Collect* Toijor own name and address should be written on the
outside of each padcage.

of years in the past, I feel that I may ask this without
seeming to shirk a duty*

Very truly yours.

Ify dear Lieutenant fizmons:

Your letter of yesterday !•
at haid aM I am glad to hear from you again«

We were much grieved to learn of poor Pike's

sad and* Ha was a fine true maxit and must have bean
crazed by disappointment over his inability to get into

the British army*

The simple questions you ask about the dif-
ferences batwaan several of the big brown bears of
Alaska are impossible to answer in the way you wish,
without giving technical characters, for the reason that
I know very little about the external differences ^ and
have based the species on differences in skull and teath.
The Kadiak bear (V^B^iff nr^jfidendorffi) does not require
comparison with the Sitka hear ('Traue sitkenBJs) bacausa
of its Tsry mudi greater size and wide dif f erancas in
skull and teeth. Howeyer, it agrees T^ry closely in
aize with the Big Bear of Alaska Peninsula (j
hut has an exceadingly broad and highly arched skull.
whUe cat has a relatively low and narrow skull, be-

\ i

- -wSirtlB-more. the skull of the
Bide* tooth differences. ?urt termors,

AS to the weight of the Kadialc h^ar: I have
.e»orandu« on the suh3ect. hut cannot lay .y hand on it
^ust at the mc^nent. However. FaiUippe-Tolley in his
•Big Game Shooting' quotas J. .^ Toimn as stating tnat
•a hear killed a few miles from a settlement weired
1656 pounds". But I think Toltnan is wrongly quoted, for.
if I am not mistaken, he wrote me that this bear weired
about 1700 pounds after bleadir«, so that its live wei^t

must have exceeded 2000 pounds.

The large Kadiak bear formerly in ths Washington

Zoo died some tiri» ago. I have not at hand the record of
his wei^ts. but feel sure that he did not ever reach
1200 pouids. Owing to lack of normal food he never was

in really good condition.

Among all the Big Brown Baars the normal number
of cubs seems to be two, athou^ in sane cases three are
horn at a time. The cubs often follow the mother for
two or three years and it is not uncommon to find cubs of

624

two sizes with the mother. In aav«r..7

a«r. m several such cases where

the cubs have been killAH t i, -

oeen Killed I have eianined the skulls and

found them to be of different agar.

With kindest regards to you all.

Very truly yours.

several years previously, hut in this pi-rtioular case
felt that Professor Baird had done so nruch toward sirap-

Dear Sir:

A clipping from the ^Fresno Hopublioan' states that
you have reoantly killed a large grizzly hear near Camp Kanaw-
yer« I hope yon preserved hoth skin and skull, and should ha
glad to pay you a liberal prioe for the same*

Is the skull hadly injured? Or is it in good coxi-
dition? And is the skin perfect? •- by which I mean did you
leave the claws, lips and ears on the hide so that |"| 9:4Uld
be used for a Museum specimen? If the skin is in good con-
dition, and the skull is reasonably perfect^ I should be iPrlad
to pay you from t?50 to f30 for the skin and skuJli, the exact
value being determined after the specimen is sor^t on for ex*
amination. If you care to sell it please ship by exproes,
charges collect, addressed: U. S. Blologioal Survey, Deptc of
Agriculture, Washington » "-. 0'»

I assume you either salted the ekln or dried it with-
out salt. The best way Is to put salt on the greeu hJae and
allow it to stajid for a couple of days, after 77hich th^ hid'a
should be dried in the shade. Was the h-ar a male or. e. females?
And when and where was it killed?

Very truly yours.

Pear Doctor Walcott:

Roplying to your letter of the E4th
lnst» on the suhject of the mammals collected "bp Heller
on Professor Bingham's Tale-Geographic Society's "^Iirpedi-
tion to the Peruvian Andes^ would say that the arrange-
ment, a3 I iinderetood it, waG that the !Tational '^reographic
Society v/ould pay Heller's salary and field expenses, and
that on the return of the expedition, the mammal collec*
tion way to be worked up Tor publication by Hellor, after
whijch the collection was to become the prop rty of the
National LIuseum* So far as krxown to rae, there seems to
be no reason '^^ this arrangement should not be carried
out» Heller made a really remarkable collect ion» com- ^v^*-*'
prising fine series of soriie of the rarest of known mam-
mals; and as I understand from Professor Bingham, has ■■^-'*
full field notes concerning the various species collectod.

You aak my opinion as to whether it is feasible
to proporly work up the mammals in this country, I believe
it is entirely feasible, "liile the types of many South
American mammals are in the British and other foreign
3£useuras, there are now, as you know, rich collectione in
the Field Museum and the American Museum >n Wev7 York in

m

ii

addition to the material in our national Museum, And
in casoB; where it is necessary to compare with types
in the British Museiim, Oilfield Thomas, Curator of LTam-
mals in that Museiun, has always been very glad to make
the comparisons for ^onerican vvorkers in this field.

You doubtless realize that the time for mono-
fxaT^hlc work on South American mammals is still far
away, una that all work for years to come must be more

or less preliminary.

Very truly youre.

Dec.r ITro T'adeira:

Your talegram urging me to come to the
-ilderxxes.. Clab dinner, reached nia yaetorday. and is
dooply appreclatedo !rhe trouble is Just this: The e^rly
part of laat week some fri.nda from California wore here
for a oouplo of days^ ITe happened to have a snow-storm
followed by the oolde.t snap of the v.inter.Just at that
timeo Our friends thought it a great treat to fall in
with a snow-storm, and ^^ere not worried by the cold that
followed. As a result I spent a consid^.rable part of two
cJnys in driving them over the ooun-bry in niy car. and very
foolishly frora foroe of habit kept on my spectacles. For
the next two or three days the bridge of my nose made a
fairly suooassfol attempt to imitate the hump of a camel,
and in color resembled a boiled lobster. I put on too
much iodine, causing an iodine barn, with attendant swell-
ing tiround both eyes. The nose then bogun to peel, and
during the laut few days has shed at least half a dozen
ekinso However, by keeping it well coated with lanolin.
a great change for the better has taken place during the
past twenty- four hours, and if I find myself fairly pre-
sentable tomorrow (Saturday morning) I v;ill ^0 to Phila-

0^3

aelphia 80 as to reach the Ballevue-Stratford ^y thff mid-

die of the afternoon*

In case I go, which now seems prohahle, I shall not
taow how to reach your county plaoa. hut will go to the

Kecquet Cluh to inquire.

Prom what 1 have told you. you will understand the
reason why I declined the invitation to the dinner. If
in tht morning my nose has continued to improve as maoh
as during tHe past day. I shall have the pleasure of meet-
ing 70M sgain. and the other memhers of the ^ildernesB

Cluh.

Very truly yours.

Accountant ^ ^^^ ., _

Dear !Ir. Adams: '^ •

In connection jrith ray January account you

enclosed a memorandum calling attention to the absence of

certriin suhrouchers. This leads me to remark that you may

not be a.mre that I am under no obligation whatever to fur-

iiioK «triy aiibvouchers in connection with any of my acconnts.

This was a part of' the original agreement between Mrs^ Har-

riman, the Smithsonian Institution, and myself* Mr8» Har*

riman was rather emphatio on this pointt insisting that she

did not wish to put me to the trouble of obtaining sabyouchers.

However, as you know, I have always sent ypn
a c msiderable number of subvouchers* This I have done for
my ov/n satisfaction only — not because there was any other
reason ./hy I should do so — and I expect to follow the same
course in Tuture in cases where the obtaining of eubvouchers
doe^ not involve too much trouble and loss of time*

In the case of subscriptions to Journals and
magazines I have found it particularly difficult to obtain
receipted bills, and in many instances have written the pub-

y

«

M!-(. W.I. A. 2

liBhers as many as three letters asWn,'? for receipts.
They usually reply by calling ray attention to the faot
that the date of expiration of subscription is stamped
on the tapper, ana therefore a receipted bill is not
neoeseary (from their standpoint )f

Very tmly ><»i,-rs.

Dear Mr. Norton:

Pardon me for not replying earlier to

your kind letter of February 22 about the Glacier Bear
skin^ which yon were kind enou^ to have EowlaKd ship
to n». It came all right, but unfortuTiately I was not
able to go to the Museum until today, and therefore
have only just seen it. It is a beautiful skin, and
shows the slightest leaning I have seen from the Black
Bear phase toward the Glacier Bear phase* Shall I re-
turn the skin direct to TLcmas Ibwland?

Thanks for the inforinatiori thst your
Black Bears were all killed by you at Yakutat Bay.

But you did not reply to the question
asked in my last letter as to the date of killing of
your old ^izzly from Xlappan Creek. The skull, which
you were kind enough to give us, shows that the animal
was a very old male.

You must have had an entertaining tiifte
in the Adirondacks in February. I have made several
snowshoe trips on the west side of the Adirondacks in
winter.

With kindest regards.

Very truly yours.

Dear Boctor Hou^:

Herewith I am presenting to the National

Huso« a amoke-dried head of a Brazilian Indian, nl^tained

on the hMidMiters of the Tapajos River; about forty years

ago, by a yWBig saa named Ernest T. Morris.

In the fall of 1877 or the very early
spring of 1878 , Morris escaped in a small boat , and by
traveling at night and hiding during the dfty, eucoeed^
in descending the Tapajos to the Amazon^ and thencs in
reaching Para* He brought with him several of these
heads — eight if I remember rightly — and being anxious
to dispose of them as quickly as possible, appealed to me
for assistance* I purchased this one, the American Mmeum
purchased two, and Dr» Sabine one* I have forgotten about
the others^

For the past thirty years my head has
stood on a high case in my dao^ On taking if down a fegr
days ago I was sliocked to find that it had been damaged
by insects. Viewed at n little distance however, the vrork
of the insects is scarcely noticeable*

Trusting that you will be abjs to restore
the specimen, and that it will prove of value to tllo colieo
tion.

Dear Bailey: " ^

Was glad to receive jrour letter of the let
insto from Livingston, and to know that the prospects
for a successful trip looked good to you at that time^
I hope everything has tu«ied out to your satisfaction,
and that you will succeed in making some kind of a count
lAiich will add to existing knowledge*

The skull Svans promised to send has not yet
arrived. —neither has the photograph of the 1200 pound
griaaly*

Hope you will dig up some hear skulls while
in the Park region, or at least get the addresses of
hunters or others who may have seme on hand or he ahle
to get a few in future. I will pay $2 to $4 for skulls
of hlacks and $5 to $25 for grizzlies, according to sex,
agSp and condition^ -

Thus far all is well at lK>th houses.

As ever yours, -

note is that in the tables besrinf^ the heading 'Srai of
Normal Mean Daily Temperi-tures abo7^ 6^ C^' the quanti-
ties actually given are the sixms of norrof 1 rr&an daily
temperatures *Vi thou t deducting the 6^ 0. each day for
the period during which the nean daily temperature ex-
ceeds 6 C«"

On re r;ons true ting thu temperature
charts by deducting the 6 C, e^ch day, I fo^ihd to my sur-
prise that the resulting ternperature zones did not confo:nn
with the life zones nearly so well as those crif:inaliy
plotted. In other words, it is better to start at O'" C.
(32^ Pahr.) instead of at 6^ C. (43^Pahr.}. Th3 figares
given in the tables are all ripht, but the heeding shoul
read: 'Sniii of Normal Mean Daily Temporatures above 0^ C. *
(32^Fahr.)

I am not sure that you have all of itiy
publications on geographic distribution. I nm therefore
sending you a few herewith.

Dear Mr. Barringer:

Please ijardon my delay in replying to

your letter of Febnmry 29 . and in thanking you for the
enclosures relative to Keteor Crater and the giant turkey,
all of which are. of interest. The copy of your lecture on
the crater, which you were kind enon^ to enclose, is here-
with returned in accordance with your request. Tou cer-
tainly seem to have made out a strong case.

lou ask whether I thiric the members of
the Boone and Crockett Club would be interested in a talk
on the Crater, In my iudgment the subject, while one of
great interest, is so far outside of the field ocoupiad by
the Club that it would not be appropriate.

The killing of that big gobbler in west-
em MaSland was something to be proud of. P-''^-^;^^^^^^
since.^s you say. it appears to be a dosoendent from bi^s
S^u^t from Arizona or Kew Mexico. To. did a fine thing
in securing the specimen for the Museum of the Academy of

Dear Grinnall:

No, I don't happen to irnow anything about
the Doctor Pope yen mention. I aai ho-^Yever familiar with
the Nosse or Yahna tribe, to the southern division of
which Ishi belonged, ishi, you will probably remember,
was kept by Eroeber for sevei^l years, and was the show
actor of weekly exhibits at Kroeber's mueeujK in the Af-
filiated Colleges facing Golden Gate Park.

Strong bows were used hf the Yahna end noine
other tribes in CaliforrJa. If you &ce inter-33t3d in
these I might dig up ?ome references.

Yes, Sheldon made a great hit in getting
his little ram at Bl Rosario. The skull h^5 f^ono to the
cleaner, and I am hoping to see it in & feTz days.

Many thanks for the measurements of the ran
I have ju«t made a preliminary examination of the skulls
of both ram and ewe. and am prepared to agree with yon that
the animal is the smallest known in North America. It is
•ven smaller than nelaPnlt and therefore reiy much smaller
than the members of the larger group. :Prom this hasty ex-

My dear Miss Dickers on:

Thanks for your letter of yesterday
just receiTei, with pegs-proof of my review of Hooserelt
and Heller^s •Life Histories of African Game Aniieals'.
The proof is excellent and so far as I observe requires
no correction except for one or two siif^iit typographical
errors^ which hate been marked* Bat I most admit frmkly
that I do not apjrove the illustrations selected* Witti .
such 8 ivealOi of attractive illustrations to obooee from.
showing the animals and tbe country in which they live^
it seemc^ to me a pity, and somewhat undignified, for a sci-
entific Aounial to i?ubstitute cartoons. And I should never
have advertised Buffalo Jones by reproducing any of his
pictures.

In case it is too Icte to change the illus«
trationSy I hope you vrill be good enoo^ to put a note
at the end staling that the illustrations were selected
by the Bditor*

most Qzcellent. and I ain rrlad to retain the ^ntiro lot
(15 in all, including those from the previotjB sending*)*
I am willing to pay the price you name^ $2oC0 each, inasmuch
as this includes right of publioption, althou(^i not exclu-
sive copyright*

I shall be glad to see the photographs you take
at your new ranch on the Souris Hivero I assume thst all
of the [hotogi'aphs jou have soiit me are from the noi^-Abcr-

the cheat pouch of a Richardson ground s^juirrel is returned
herewith, as I have several similar photosc

I hope your prints will be oore permanex* thr.n
many in my collection. It is an unfortunate fact that a
large percentage of the prints fade out or become blotched
with yellow in the course of timee A very tboron^^rh washing

prints seem to stand the inroads of time better than
7elox. although this is not always the case. The only
absolutely pei^o.^ent prints kno^ to me are those made
en platinum, ^^per, the cost of which is too great for
ordinary ^ovk, especially in the case of largo photos.
A check for $30, due you for these 15 prints,
will be sent you in a few days froin my fund in the SmUh-

Dear Sheldon:

Yours of yesterday at hand. So far as my
personal feelings go I should he glad to review Grlnneil's
JfigQtiine vaargnRfta , as it is a monumental oontrlLution
to the history of the Plains region, and corrects a mul-
titude of exTors and false impressions, But I caxinct
write a review in a day or a ^ek, and if the work is
important it is usually several months before I am will-
ing to turn my review in to the printer. It is nearly a
year and a half since Roosevelt asked me to review fs
•life Histories of African Game Animals'. I started U
at once and have been digging at it at intervals eve-

since, hut did not finish it nntii c r

*■'''" '^ i^til a few weeks ago. It

is to appear in the next number of thP 'Arnn..,-
Journal'. '^ericjan Museum

^^* ^-- J -rote by ro.uest a review -f
^il's Biography of Bai rd for the '^Uetin n^ ..
- Geographical Society, ^ese two at J. '^''''
or r would have declined to toucher Z^^'T''
- a marked exception but I fear to ta^cla U ^ ^ ''"

wc^Id take a lot of time which I ought! '' "^'^ ''

ought not now to spare

/

\

from the bears,

Grinnell is the only man in the world who could
have got at the bottom facts on v/hich to base such a book.
His infinite patience, his honesty, and his sympathetic
marjier which leads Indians to confide in him, are attributes
without which no one could secure fron, the Indians the neces-
sary information. The book, as anyone can see, is not the
work of a year or two, but the outgrowth of researches ex-
tended over the greater part of a lifetime,

I see no reason why you should not write the review
yourself, I am sure you would do it well. And if I can
help you I will be gli>d to do so*

As ever yours,

Dear Mr. Shiras:

lour letter transmitting a carton of a

letter from W. E. Clyde Todd addressed to the Committee
on Research of the National Geographic Society came some
little time ago. But up to the present time no new- meet-
ing of the Research Committee has heen caUed by Mr. Gros-

▼enor.

Tcdd celled to see me a month or more ago

in reference to his proposed trip northward throu^ the
interior of the Labrador Peninsula. I advised him to tali
the matter over with Mr. Grosvenor .which I believe he did.
but he has not informed me as to the result. I told him
that my personal feeling was that he ought to turn in his
report on work on the east side of Hudson Bay before ask-
ing for en appropriation for work elsewhere, the labrador
trip hot being in my judgment at all closely connected with
the Hudson Bay work. I advised him to finish his Hudson Bay
report and turn the same in to the Geographic Society as
soon as possible, in order that the society might have some-
thing to show for the money previously given hia. Assuming
that this would be done, I thought there would bo littl*
difficulty in securing an appropriation for the Labrador
work particularly if he obtained your personal influenas

in the matter.

To my surprise Todd does not seen inclined to
continu* his Hudson Bay work by pushing it farther north-
ward along the east shore, but instead has planned an en-
tirely new trip through the interior of Labrador.

I am glad to know that you have about finished
your article on the Admiralty Island bears, acd shaU be
i^ig^ty glfid to see the same. Shall also be glad to sea
you on your return. from the South.

Very truly yours.

from you once more. A copy of the petition ^hioh you
eent we several months ago never showed up at tUs ead

am therefore in entire sympathy with the effort (f the
Blackfeet Indians to replace so far as practicable e con-
sidsrshle number of names on the map of Glacier Haticnal>'

Park,

As a memher of the Executire Committee of the '■

Government Geographic Bo3rd, 'cases of this sort ofre hefcre
me in the regular routine of map hurineas. This matter hot-
ever has net yet been brought to our attention. If jcu
. could send me a copy of the map of the Park with fne pro-
posed Indicn nanes distinctly marked on it, I should bs-very
glad to take the matter up. In all cases where the Indians
elraedy have a definite name for a mountain, lake, river, or
other topogrsphio feftture, it would be •fi/f^\ better to use
.such naroe, instead of reneming the feature for sore fonr'^r

Dear Mr. Saa»pson:

Thanks for your letter of the 6th inst,

just receiTed. It is very kind of you to think of send-
ing me your book, which of course I shall he glad to hare.

But your question ahout the "big govern-
ment publication on the Indians of the Southwest" is a
mystery to me, as I never heard of any such publication.
The most important works on the ethnology and archaeology
of the Southwest are by Bandolier, but these are not pub-
lished by the Government, There are also numerous papers
by a variety of authors on the Zuni, Acoma, Ta*«, Hc-pe,
and other Pueblo Indians, and some on other tribes, but
these are widely scattered. If you can get hold of the
title of the publication you have in mind, I will find
out about it and let you know.

Glad that you will probably be present

at the Boone and Crockett dinner.

Very truly yours;

My dear Professor Bir^hom:

Thanks for your letter of the 10th inst* just
received* Heller iiad already suggested the matter of
donating the Peruvian rnanmal collection to the Biological
Survey, and had shown me a copy cf Dr« Walcott's letter
to you on the subject. Acting on this letter, I irrmediately
brought the matter to the attention of the Biological Survey^
and the Chief Mr. Henshaw, and Assistant Chief Mr. Nelson,
agreed that if the collection could be accepted without pre-
judice^— without the appearance of taking sides in a i^uar-
rel — they would accept it mzst gladly, place it at Heller's
disposal, and turn it over to the Museum as scon as Heller

had finished his work on it, which was assumed v.oujd be in
about six weeks.

Mr. Nelson therefore went at once to the Museum
and talked the matter over with the Curator of Mammals,
Mr. Gerrit S. ?Jiller. After some discussion, ,and after
Mr- Miller had talked with Dr. Stejneger, the Museum authori-
ties decided that they would consider it an unfriendly act
for the Biological Survey to accept the collection and give
Heller free access to it, even for the brief period of six
weeks.

concerning which I have made personal ethnolofrioal studies.

lar^e amount of mtter.with numerous illustrations, on the

Dear Mr. Miller;

Tour let tar of the Zl'si inat. reached rr.e

Saturday. You say that wy statement to Trofaasor Bing^xas:!
differs so widely from your statement of the caso "that
a mistake is evident." On reading your letter cnrefully
in connection with mino to Prof«e«or Bingham, I fnil to
obserre any confliot, and carmot irfiagine to ^hat jcu re-
fer unless possibly to my use of tho ezj^resaion "v/culd
consider it an unfriendly act" instead of ycur words
''would not ref^'ard the suggested action as a fsvor" —
which mearja that you «culd look upon it with dirfavor.

In telling mo of your clociaioi) it irr hf.rdly
to be ex, ected that Nelson oonrrdtted to waiory ?nd repeated
the exact words used by you, eni frr jny part I frealy admit
that I paid not the Blipihtost attentioi; to the rorde used
by him. Prora what he said however T reoavT^id the dirtinot

impression tiiat tho Museum ./as tverse to receiving;; the )pxt1'

tnammel
viaa^collcction throng the Biclc,2'icol Survey cs i^aad teen

suggested — and this agrees with the stctoment ill .vour

f

l^^tter I therefore wrote Professor Hngha. to this effect
SMt yon a f»w days ego.

I urn sorr, if tt, t,m "mifriendly acr ^sed ly -e

Dear Sir:

At last your shipment of skulls lias been receirod.
Part of the delay was due to the fact that it had been held
up by Oustoms people,

I am elad to have all of these skulls . but rerret
very much to find that five of the black bear skulls hive
been badly injured by chopping off the back part where t>^s
skull joins the bones of the neck. Thio raakes it impo.^ible
to g-et good measurements for the base of the skull. In

Dear Grinnell:

It was a disappointment to me that I did not
see you yesterday. I wanted to talk with you particularly
about the Mountain Crow, and also about the matter of
names for points in Glacier Fark. The latter subject how-
ever can go over, as the suggested changes have not arrived,
and may not come until after I go west. At all events, I
should not think of advising action of them until after con-
sultation vdth you.

Is there any human probability that the Mountain
Crows ev«r pushed far enough west to enter the Yellowstone
Fark country? My sources of information do not state their
exact whereabouts, but merely mention that they lived in the
mountains south of the Yellowstone. Schultz claims that they
reached the headvmters of the Yellowstone, but I cannot find
any evidence to this effect.

As ever yours,'

D©ar Mr, Norton:

igain I owe you an apology for delay i^
writing, but it was only yesterday that I was able to ex-
amine the Glacier Bear skins in the National Museum and
biological Survey collections in comparison with the skin
you were kind enough to have Rowland send me some weeks ago.
This skin is much blacker than any we have, but owing to its
composite character and lack of specific data, is not of
high value as a Museum specimen. On the other hand, it is
a most beautiful rug. I shall therefore return it to you
in a few days, care of Thomas Rowland, unless you advise me
to ship it to you at Goshen. New York. I greatly appreciate
your ccurteay in the matter, and the generosity of your "offer.
If I remember correctly Miss Annie Alexander at Berkeley, Calif
has a Glacier Bear skin similar to this one of yours.

I am obliged also for the data as to your old
male Klappan Grizzly.

^ith kindest regards and best wishes.

Very truly yours.

Dear Sir:

Replying to your ccsimunication of the 6th inst.
inf oming me that "no one shall be a member of more than
one section" of the Nations,! Academy and askir^ with which
section I desire to be affiliated, would say that inasmuch
as my interests and original research work are rather evenly
divided between anthropology and zoology, and inasmuch as I
do some work each year in botemy, I find it impracticable to
comply with the request.

It occurs to me that if the Academy intends to limit
the activities of its members to a single field of science, it
might be better for it to decide by vote to which section each
member shall be restricted.

Respectfully,

bear shot by J. H. 2agle on Iskut Creek in the Stikine

country in the fall of 1915, arrived this morning, and I

am Tery glad to have them*

The photographs of mounted sheep heads sent
at the request of Lincoln Ellsworth also came this morning,
but are absolutely without data. Tou say the data on the
back of these is all that he gave* Th.e only mark on the
back of any of them is your stamp "mounted by James L.
Clark, Kew York". The pictures would be of considerable
interest were each labeled vdth the locality where killed,
but without this information they are of no value.

vrhich hinges to the bones of the neck, has been chopped off,
thereby injuring it materially for a Museum specimen* How-

Yery many thanks for your kindness in sending
me,throTieh James L. Clark of New Iork,a set of eight
photographs of motinted heads of moimtain sheep belonging
to your collection. They constitute a most attractive

mals were killed, are of no little scisntific interest,

I congratulate you on having secured such a
fine lot of heads from such widely separated regions,
and appreciate your courtesy in giving me this splendid

lot of photographs.

Dear Sir:

Replying to your letter dated April 23 Imt only
just recelTed, would state that I shall be glad to purctose
the timber wolf skin and skull you mention at your prict of
$15. Pleas* ship the same either by exprsss or paroel post
addressed: U.S. Bio logical Surrey, Dept, of Agriculture, Wash-
ington. D. C. A shipping tag is enclosed herewith. Be sur»
to attach a label to the skin bearing your own name and ad-
dress, and have the same marked on tie outside of the package.

During the past few months we hare experienced un-
precedented delays in receiving packages of specimens from
British Columbia, probably owing to hold-ups in the QnBtoma
department.

Very trulj jours.

Dear Sir:

Tour letter of the 2nd inst» came a few days ago,

and was followed by the female skull of a brown bear from

Chichagof Island, which you sent at the same time© I am

and
glad to have this skulls particularly to know that the

bear was taken from her den along with two very young cubso
Can you tell me on what p«rt of Chichagof Island the bear
was killed?

I am crediting you with $15 for this skull, a
check for which will be sent you on or aJhout the first of
nextmonth* The Dase of this skull was badly injured, the
bone having been cut away to get at the brain more easily^
This is a serious injury for Museum specimens, as you of
course know.

Should you succeed in obtaining any more grizzly or

brovm bear skulls from the mainland during the present season,

I should be glad to purchase thorn as usual* In case of such

skulls please make a special effort to ascertain the locality

where the bear was killed, as son^e of those you have sent me

are not correctly labeled for locality. If there is doubt,
better say soo Very truly yours.

Uy dear Mr. Daggett:

Tour letter of the 6th inst. in rela-
tion to the Hancho La Brea fossil beds is at hand* I am
delig^ited to know that the oi^ner. Mr. Hancock, has so
generously donated thirty-two acres of these beds for park
purposes. This is abundant proof of his appreciation of
the very high scientific value of the fossil remains dis-
covered on his property*

The fact that the skulls and other bones of ex-
tinct majnmals thus far obtained from the Bancho U ,Prea
beds exceed in interest any known deposit from any other
part of the world, gives the locality unusual prominence*
For this reason the place is likely to be visited n«t only
by naturalists, but by the intelligent public for many
years to come — probably indefinitely.

Tlie plan ycu suggest of enclosing the area v/ith
attractive park surroundings within -wMch the beds them-
selves may be seen, strikes vye as excellent. I would make
the further suggestion that the educational value and popu-
lar interest of the proposed park would be enormously en-
hanced if a series of restorations of the anirials cast in

cement, were placed about the excavations or scattered
throuPh the park. The originals of these might also
constitute a unique addition to your Museum. It seems
to me that the funds necessaiy to carry out this plan
would he well spent, and would be appreciated by many
thousands of our citizens.

Wishing you success in your undertaking,

Tery truly yours.

grizzlies has as yet been able to secure their .^VxUic If
they are in repsonably perfect condition i should be glad
to pay tSS apiece for them.

The two badly broken slculis of gr-izslies,
which you were kind encu^ to send the Museum for mj oif,r..i-
nation early in the winter, are perfectly typical fftinales of
the smallest of all our northern griszlies — a species I
named Ilf^^g rmnilPI some years ago. I susj^ect that the red
bears belong to this same spcies. but cannot be i^ure without
seeing the skulls.

President Boone and Crockett Clul)
Genesee, New York*

Dear Major Wadsworth:

Among the younger men wlio are not yet members of
the Boone 6c Crockett Cluh, hut who have sho^m their mettle
iia hunting big game in remote parts cf the country, I should
like to call particular attention to G. Frederick Norton,
now of Goshen, Ne'v York.

Mr. Norton has hunted on Kenai Peninsula, and
several years in the Yakutat Bay region, ^/here he killed big
bro^;7n bears on Malaspina Glacier on the north side of the bay,
and a new species of grizzly fpy^us riortoni) on the south side.
He has secured else a fine series cf glacier bears, and was
first to 3how that this animal is merely a color phc^ise of the
hlaclj: hear. His specimens, w^ ich ere •' f hig^ scientific value,
he has generously presented to our two greatest museums, the
National Museum in 'ashington, end the American Museum of
Natural History in New York.

Learning that Lir. Norton has been nominated for
membership in the Club, and believing him well qualified for
uch mombership, it gives me pleasure to second his nomination.

V6ry truly yours

Thanka for your letter of Ifey 25 enclosinfr
the Blackfoot petition of whioh you had previously spoken,
concerning suggested changes of names in Glacier National
Park. On looking this over I am disa^j,ointed to find that
«ost of the .a.es are ver, long. ^ The Geographic Poard is
on general principles opposed to %n, na.es. Tl. Boani is
also xn favor of using the actual Indian word, instead of
^ts English translation where the word. is not too lonr
and :s fairly easy to pronounca. ^ '

Glad you are to spend ar.other' sunnner in
Glac.er Park. My .ork here has dragged along so that we
Shall not he ahl. to get away hefore the .idTle ^Ij.

I think we need have no apprehension as to the result. The
subject did not come up at the meeting of the Government
Geographic Board today, and this is the last meeting until

comment for the present. I really feel greatly indebted

« hoth joy and sorrow ~ joy to hear from yon again and
learn something of your plans, hut most particularly and
especially to know that at last you have someone to help
you in your office vrork so that you can have more time to
yourself and family. This is the best news I have heard
in a long time. This will mean, I hope, some fine trips
together during the season. Our sorrow consists in the
fact that we have been so long dolayed at this end of the

line.

However t I am rapidly finishing my study of our
great series of hear skulls, and hope to leave for Cali-
fornia in about 10 days. Hill let you hear from us scoi:
after our arrival. ^Te are all going together — Mrs. H*.
Zenaida, Hiss Allen, and myself. And if it is not too
late T/hen we get settled, vi^e shall be only too glad to
join families with you in the Pinnacles canping trip*

Ton almost take my breath away by implying that
you have located that grizzly bear skull, and that it can
be had for $25. If it really is a grizzly I shall be only
too delisted to pay at least this price for it» perhaps more
If ycu cen arrange so that I can see it, I shall be greatly
obliged*

Dear Mr. Yreeland:

lou v.ill be glad to iaiow that th« fejaa}6
grizzly A^hlch you killed last year on the hsed of Nortb
Fork Big Salmon proves to be of lonusual interesto It is a
fine adult female, and apoears tc be the natural rate of
the mala Prsua latifrona, the type, of which from Ji^B]^.ei
House was described oj rae a <30iiple of ysars agOa Youra is
the first adult female J heve seen of the speci^a, ana is
therefore of more th^n usual interest and Taiueo

I am not *^J.re that I am able to locate accurately
the place where yen killed it, as the North Fork of Big
Salmon is not sho^ra en riy mejBo I assumo however that f^iB
place is b6tween the great bend of Praser Fdrer, and ^^riir^
of the upper tributaries of the ?ar8nip«

Bekersfield lest you get into Cuya;^a Talley before hearing
from me.

But after all there is little to say that will
be of any help to you in your ^crk. Tiie nain thin^- is to find
out whether or not you can make headquarters at the txi^o Killer
and lux ranches, and obtain a saddle horse there to avoid the
necessity of a camp outfit* AH cf this yen ^ill of course

the. mountains on both sides are ocwmnorly krown, a] so if :.os?i-
ble the point where the name of ^:}uyaiaa River changes tc ?aata

Tour principle work naturally will be the making
of a general collection of the mammals and r'^ptlle? of the
Cuyama Yalley, and also of such hirds a& heloi?^^ to the Mohave
Desert fauna, A numbor of these occur also about and south
of Tulare lake, ac you already know. The Aq^ihagp^ :^^ of the

tailed kites. It is important to obtain a few breed^ing .
horned-larks in order to positively determine the species.
It is important of course to send in specimens of all lizards
and horned-toads of the velley.

In the mai'imal line you vvill of course maka as complete
a collection as possible of the smaller species from the dif-
ferent types cf soil and vegotation in the valley bottom, and
also, if you h^ve time, from the adjacent basal slopes of the

Kangaroo rats abound and I think three S|.ecies occur, though

I ani not sure that we secured ^^^^^ specimens of Piped omvs.

The giant r<^rodipus ingenq and a smaller species are common

about the upper ranch.

o^e want to know how far up the valley straight Lower

foothills at the northwest.

At the time Bailey and I were in the valley several years ago
there were no permanent wagon roads of any kind and the river
arossings were impassible owing to the vertical cut^banks. At
that time it was rumored that oil had been discovered, in iphich
case I assume that the roads have heen muah improved o

Dear Sir:

Thanks for yrur letter of the 12th inst., and for

the pacl^age of skulls which has just arrived. There are four
grizzlies and one black, as .70u srid. Two of the grizzlies
are cuhs of the second year, one is fully adult, and another
not quite adult. All are badly damaged in the back pert of
the skull, as ycu doubtless obsorved. The t?/o oldest grizzlies
have the back part shattered^ apparently by the balls that killed
them. Trie other trro and the black have the back part chop^^ed
off, probably done in separating the head from tlic body. It is
8 great pity that skills should be so needlessly dr^maged, as
some of the most important parts frr ccm^erison ;Tith otner
Species are ^ 'holly gone.

T aiii creditiug you for the skulls as foUov/s: for
the ctdult grizzly TlO, next oldest CS, the 2 cubs ^5 each,
the black t2, amounting in all to ^30, a check for v;hich .'rrnouiit
will be sent ycu about the first of the month from mj fund in

Dear Sirs:

lour letter of i-ono 16 has heen referred to me

by the Smithsonian Institution. I am glad to know that
you are in a position to secure skulls of Ijoars, and shall
be glad to purchase at good prices all skulls of gjri^zlies
and hie- Brov/n Bears which you are able to furnish, provided
each skull is tagged with the name of the locality where
killed. I want skulls from the mainland and adjacent is-
lands, and from all parts of the intcriort ^nd am willing
to purchase imir.ature and damaged skulls as well as old and
perfect ones, although the prices paid for young and injured
skulls are of course less than in the case of perfect adults.

The difficulty I have had heretofore in purchasing

*

from taxidermists is the absencs in many cases of reliable
information as to where the bear was killed. I do not care
where it was killed so long as. the locality is Gorredtly
marked on the label. For ^te skulls of big bears so tagged
I will pay from ^ each for young skulls, up to *10 or $15
for adult females and 1'20 or even $25 for good old males,
according to condition.
