These are all fairly good skulls and we are allowing $4.00 each for them. Please sigp and return the accompanying Toucher and a check will be sent yon. le are also glad to have your notes in iregard to woItss and deer in that country and would be glad to do anything we could to help protect the game, still the ■atter of bounty is of doubtful benefit even if it possible for the gOTemment to pay state or territory boxanties^ which it is not. Doctor Uerriaa is here now and working on the bears as he gets time from many other duties. He will probably write you also a little later.

Hart Merriarn, Lagunitas, Marin County, California. Dear Dr. Merriarn: A magnificent old male grizzly skull has just come in from near Mayfield in the very center of Utah. It was sent by Mart Martensen, and he says he is sending another skull of a female. I have no record of any cor- respondence with Marten sen, and presume you ordered the skulls. Do you remember what you offered him for them? Do you want us to have this skull cleaned up and photo- graphed and prints sent to you so you can include the record in your manuscript, or will there be time enough when you get back? You got away just in time to escape the three weeks of pretty hot and sticky weather, but a 'high' has struck us today v/ith a delicious cool breeze from the far West. Henshav; is probably in North Dakota or Montana today, western bound. Your letter to him has just been forwarded to Dixon, Montana. The bear skulls have all been returned except the lot of Archibald Rogers, v/hich go today. None of the skins have been returned except the rug of Richardson's. Jackson had no instructions in regard to them. CHM 2 Henshaw wrote Skiff before leaving here. There is not inuch doing here now, but it is a good quiet time to work if the cool weather lasts. Very truly yours, HLB In charge. Biological Investigations. ^^vvn- NO. 183-4 KALOH-'M, WASHtNQTON, ^r /f/^^.

Dear Dr. Merriajn: I have waited several days before answering your letter of September 3rd in re£jard to the bear skulls, hoping to say they had been photographed, but we are still held up for want of negatives. If they do not arrive with- in a few days I will get the negatives and have the work done an^'T/ay. The Utah grizzly skulls are cleaned and ready and are a beautiful pair. The skull of the male measures in basilar length 369 and basilar length of Hensel 333; the female measures 328 and 290. Jackson and I took the measurements as carefully as we could without the large craniometer. Many thanks for the New Mexican mammal notes you have enclosed in several letters. Last night was the first really cool weather we have had, and I hope fall has begun to show up. Very truly yours, In charge, Biological Investigations. UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE BUREAU OF BIOLOGICAL SURVEY WASHINGTON, D. C. September 15, 1912. Dr. C. Hart Merriam, Lagunitas, California. Dear Dr. Merriam: The plates for ohotographing bear skulls have been ordered and we have some reason to expect then in a day or two so the skulls can be photographed. In running over some of my old letters I find some Texas bear notes that you may have, and am enclosing them for you. Did you get the photographs of the Davis Mountain skull that were taken when Y/e had it here some 8 or 10 years ago? I presume they were among the other bear photographs and that you have thera, if not, we oust have the negatives somev/here, tho^agh I do not find any prints. We might be able to get the skull now by offerir^ a big price for it--ten or tv/enty dollars. A new lot of National Forest maps has come to the office addressed to you. I do not reuember whether you keep a duplicate set of these or v^hether you have been turning them into the office set. If you happen to r ber what you do with them let ]ae know and I will dispose of them, or if not, let it go until you return and I will Id them up. Very truly yours, ^ In charge. Biological Investigations UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE BUREAU OF BIOLOGICAL SURVEY WASHINGTON, D. C. Dr. C. Hart Merriam, Lagunitas, California. Dear Dr. Merriam: Sept. 24, 1912. I am glad to report some progress on the bear skull photographs. V/e have the plates and about half of the negatives are niade, but yesterday and today have been so dark, with a steady rain, that the work is held up until we get more light. I hope the prints will be ready to send in a fewdays, however. Mart Martenson, of Fairfield, Utah, sent in the female grizzly skull and it will be photographed with the others. Both male and female skulls are in fine condition. Martenson v/rote that the other skulls were so badly broken tb^t he did not send them. It may be worth while to get him to send on the fragments in case there were some important teeth. Too bad Hasselborg got chev/ed up by a big bear but it ought to make a good bear story any way. I hope he fixed the bear so its skull will stay there until he is able to get back after it. Ko specimens have been re- ceived from hira as yet. I will attend to the shipping of the female Chichagoff and two Admiralty island bear skins to V/ilson Potter, Philadelphia, as you direct, and will write him that they are shipped at the request of the owner, Elton Clark. Will also forward the enclosed letter to Elton Clark, Box. 1321, Boston, Lass. We are having delight- fully cool weather here now. Very truly yours, .^^^,^,,^^ /^^uA^ b In chan-e. Biolo-'ical Investigations ITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE BUREAU OF BIOLOGICAL SURVEY WASHINGTON, O. C. October 15, 1912 Hart Merriam, Lagunitas, California. Dear Dr. Merriara: Your letter of October 8 is just received, and I will try to straighten out the bear notes for you as far as possible. The enclosed letter from Mart Martenson seems tb be all the correspondence we have had with hira, but on the original brovm tags of the two grizzly skulls from Utah he had written the specific locality: on the male, 9314 of the X catalogue, he had written "On north fork, Salina Creek, one mile south of the Nipple"; and on No. 9320, "Two miles south of the Nipple." We do not find any nipple on any of the maps, but the north fork of Salina Creek would put the locality about 12 or 15 miles southeast of Mayf ield in Sevier County. Mayfield is in Sanpete County. The cub skull labeled "Diajnond Creek, Gila National Forest, New Mexico," was collected by Hotchkiss on the west slope of the Mirabres mountains about 12 miles north of the head of the Ivlimbres River. The Mirabres skulls probably all came from the head of the Mimbres River and not from the town of Mimbres, 20 miles farther south in a desert valley. Dr. C. Hart Merriara Loring'8 Del Norte Creek specimen came from the extreme head waters of the Wind River, of which this is the northernmost branch. Loring followed up Warn Spring Creek (the western branch) so must have picked up the skull at the mouth of Del Norte Creek where the little town of Union stands. Loring* s reports from Jasper House are very vague in regard to the bears, and I cannot tell from them which he refers to. Under '•black bears** he says they killed three; and in speaking of the grizzlies says that 8 bears in all were killed by his party. He makes no mention anywhere of picking up any odd skull, but the catalogue gives one skull without any data, which he calls a female. I can send you the copies of his report from there, but fear you would not get any clue as to which is which. I am glad Hasselborg is out again, and hope he will be more cautious next time. It is great to have that eltonclarki specimen. Henshaw is away just now, but will be back at the end of the week. If you get hold of the October Auk, read F.M.Allen^s article on Protective Color- ation. He is the first one who seems to hs.ve grasped the subject.

UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE BUREAU OF BIOLOGICAL SURVEY HINGTON, D. C. October 29, 1912. Dr. C. Hart Merriam, Lagunita8, California. Dear Dr. Merriam: I am aendirig under separate cover today the prints you wanted of the Idaho and three Stikine bears. Jackson has labeled and checked them up so I guess they are all ri^t. None of the skulls you have mentioned lately as being sent in hare arrived, but we are watching for them and will take care of them as fast as they come. No word yet from the Texas skull or any of the other pos- sible sources of infonaation. I am going to write the North Dakota people again to keep them stirred up, but I ara afraid we will not get anything from up there. Very truly yours, la charge, Biological Investiga/^ons. UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE BUREAU OF BIOLOGICAL SURVEY WASHINGTON. D. C. November 4, 1912. Dr. C. Hart Merriam, Lagunitas. Marin County, California. Dear Dr. Merriarn: Your letter of October 29th is just received, and I have written Carl Rungius in regard to the bear skulls. Will also telephone the express companies and see if they have anything addressed to 1919. I saw Gr.K. at the Club today, looking well. Enclosed is a notice of some southern California botanies which may interest you; if not, throw it in the waste basket. Very truly yours, ^^^.24/zn^ /c^^^i^^U^ UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE BUREAU OF BIOLOGICAL SURVEY WASHINGTON, D. C. November 22, 1912 Dr. C. Hart Merriam; Lagunitas, Marin County, California. Dear Doctor Merriam: Your letter of November 11 and the postal cards are received but as yet we have got no trace of the Hungius bear skulls. He sent oh the shipping bill showing that they were sent by express October 16th and directed to you, Washington, D.C, But this was only a receipt from a local transfer company and gave no clue to what express company they were shipped by. V/e have not been able to get any clue to them here and sent back the receipt to Rungius askirg him to get after the people he turned thera over to . We have written him twice but received no answer since, and there the matter stands. I hope they are not lost. None of the other skulls have as yet put in an appearance and tliat probably accounts for the fact that we have not sent you any photographs of them. Did I write you that the Vreeland specimens * fron British Columbia have cone in and are a pretty good lot? There is but one bear skull among them and that a black. There have been several recent shipraonts from the Bureau of Fisheries men in Alaska, with lots of good stuff but no bears. Wish you would catch that mountain lion. We need him. Very truly yourr. , UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE BUREAU OF BIOLOGICAL SURVEY WASHINGTON, D. C. December 3, 1912. Dr. C. Hart Merriaxn, Laguni tas , Gal if ornia . Dear Dr. Merriain: Your letter of llovember 26 cajrne yei^terday and the two (grizzly skulls frora Pratt and one brown and three black bear skulls fron Hasselborg also arrived. The Hasselborg skulls are alaost clean and will be photograph- ed as soon as possible and the prints sent you. The two Pratt skulls are very unclean and will require a good deal of soaking and time, so that it is doubtful if I can get prints of them in time to be safe to send you. llenshaw is writing a cordial acknowledgement of these skulls to Pratt, who has sent a letter in regard to them saying that he has given you permissicn to keep them, and enclosirig a map v/ith the exact locality where they were killed marked on it. There is no further news from the Rungius skulls but I have written him again to make further efforts and to give us any possible clue that we can work on from this end. It does not seem possible that they can be really lost, or that anybody would steal such specimens if they knew what they were. The two grizzly skulls from Kingscomb Inlet, which you say were shipped by George Hunt some little time ago, have not yet arrived or been he^rd from.

It has one xVt^lLlllciX ^'^" Qf the t>est high schools in the state with an enrollment of over 500 and a corps of 19 teachers; it has a parochial school with an enrollment of 125 conducted by seven Sisters. It has six churches: Catholic, Methodist, Presbyterian, Danish Lutheran, Swedish Baptist, German Baptist. It is a railroad center, being the western terminus of the Kenmare-Thief River Falls-Duluth Soo line and also the eastern terminus of the Ambrose branch of the Soo. It has electric lights; purest artesian city water; sewer system. It lies on Des Lacs lake, the largest body of fresh water in the state. It has become and will remain a city for the following reasons: It lies in the heart of the Des Lacs valley district, famous for the fertility of its soil. The development of this district is just entering on a new era, diversified farming taking the place of exclusive grain farming. This district is the home of No. 1 hard wheat; the best grades of flax and barley; 40 lb. oats; spring and winter rye; alfalfa, timothy clover and millet are the principal grasses; the hardier varieties of corn are a successful crop and pota- toes and other garden vegetables are unexcelled in quality. The yield of wheat per acre in 1912 was 18 to 30 bushels; flax 10 to 25; barley 30 to 50; oats 40 to 100; rye 30 to 40; potatoes 150 to 300. The Des Lacs valley territory has been settled for fifteen years and has not yet seen a total crop failure. Land values vary according to location and improvements from $25 to $65 per acre. Kenmare lies in the heart of the lignite mining district and the question of cheap fuel is forever solved. It can be bought at the mines for $2.00 to $2.50 per ton and is a clieap, clean, convenient and lasting fuel. The industry of briquetting this coal is just beginning.

Baker telephoned in to know if we wanted to measure him. I am sorry you were not here to take just the measurements you would want, but I have taken those that seemed to me most necessary and am enclosing the original copy which Thompson wrote down as I took them. Have had those put in better form and typewritten, and will keep a copy here for you until you return. The bear ?/as in fine condition, and yesterday seemed to be in perfect health. A postmortem will be held this afternoon to see \^iiat caused his death. There is some irail accumulating here tor you, and I am in doubt whether you want anymore forwarded to Laguni tas. I am workir:g away on again. Preble and Osgood are here work- ing on their Alaskan report. If you see Nelson about the time this reaches you tell him things are all right here.

BUREAU OF BIOLOGICAL SURVEY, AND REFER TO UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE BUREAU OF BIOLOGICAL SURVEY WASHINGTON, D. C; May 17, 1919. Dr. G. Hart llerriam, She Northumberland, Washington, D, G. Bear Dr. Merriam: Many thante for ^/cnir notes on the Grizzlies of ITorth DaJcota. Apparently the Howard Eaton specimen from Bullion Butte is the only slaill actually from north Dakota and there seems to be some mix-up on the exact locality for this sloill. Bullion Butte is exactly eighteen miles in a straight line south of lledora in the big loop of the little Missouri River which nearly surrounds it. Bear Greek which runs out on tlie north end of Kill Deer Llountains into the Little Missouri Hiver is nearly 100 miles farther north, so I am in doubt as to which of these localities is the correct one for the Howard Eaton slcull. His ranch in 1880 was down near Bullion Butte but he may easily have gone on a trip up to Bear Greek. It will probably be necessary to write Howard Saton at Wolf, V/yoming, just \^ere he killed that bear. You speak of the Cameron bear skull as coming from about 100 miles north of Ft. Miles and I see that you also gave this nams in your description of the skull in feune 41, page 17. I vsonder if you mean Miles Gity, as I can find no Ft. Miles aiid never lieard of one in that part of the country. Fort Keogh was built by General Miles at the edge of Miles Gity but I never heard it called Ft. Miles. I am writing you these notes so you will have a record in case you vant to look up any of the localities. Very truly yours. Chief Field naturalist. i4t^uriu/^ A/d/'^'^^'^—r 4.. ^ June 1st I went to the Parks and have just returned. I find here your kind letter of May 29th and both copies of 'Animals of Glacier Park* - none here when I left - so will send a copy to Mr» J. E. I^wis, I^^is» Glacier Hotel, McDonald, P. 0,, Montana. Many thanks to you. I killed that grizzly you ask ahout Oct. 27, 1880, and named the creek on v^iich I killed him "Bear Oreek**, which nawB it has held ever s ince . There was nttt a settler at Kildeer Mts. at the ahove date. Bullion Butte was called Middle Butte - as it was in the middle of the Bad lands - "but a hunter named Jack Bullion lived there on Bullion Creek - now called "Golden Valley Creek** and we used to speal: of Bullion Creek until now. I doubt if anyone in that country knows where Middle Butte is. Bear Creek runs from east to west, entering the Little Missouri River east of the Butte. I know that two men besides myself are now alive, who saw the bear where it fell when shot - Gen. J. Franklin Bell, then a Captain, saw the bear brought in from the south of Little Missouri (now only a name across Little Missouri from Medora^ N. D. ) and Kildeer Mts. are north east about 60 miles. I never saw or heard of a Black Bear in the Bad Lands and think I sav; every skin ever taken there in the 25 years I spent there. Glad to give you any information I can about the buffalo, elk, mule and Va deer, sheep and antelopes, wolves, coyotes, badger, beaver, otter, mink, skunk and wolverines. I never saw a wolverine, but Henry Bennett, a hunter there claimed to have poisoned one at mouth of Cherry Creek near the Kildeers. There were also pumas or mountain lions, Canada and rufus lynx, prairie dogs, pack rats, weasels and blackfooted ferrets. I killed many rams in that country. I have about 100 to take to the Glacier Park July 19th and nearly as many to take to Yellowstone Park A-ugust 5th. Tell Dr. Merriam to write to my friend Mr« J. R. W. Sargent, #116 - Room 321 - South Dearborn Street, Chicago, Illinois. Mr. S. has the head of a grizzly I killed in the Bad Lands of L. M. River, Oct. '84. If the Doctor wishes, he can v/rite Mr. S. at once, and I think he will allow the skoll to be taken out, a wood carved skull inserted and head remormted and returned to Mr. S. Dr. M. has a female I killed, and I think that this last was a male. Regards to Mrs. Bailey and you - also Dr. M. and all ny friends there. UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE BUREAU OF BIOLOGICAL SURVEY WASHINGTON, D. C. ADDRESS REPLY TO CHICP, BUREAU OP BIOLOGICAL SURVEY. AND REFER TO Jane 24* 1919* Dr. C* Hart l&irrlam* lAgonitmSt California* Dear Dootor Uerrlam: ne Ja^iar at the moatli of tlie Colorado River was reported l>y Pattie in his personal narrative (5taraite»s Bdition, 1905t page 194 )• He sajTS that on the islands at the delta of the Colorado Elver they Icilled an aniiiml like an African leopard, i»hich came into their caap and was the first of its kind they had ever seen. Even if Pattie is as nwch of a liar as you would thinJ: he was, he could not have invented the description of such an animal without having seen it, and this is the only plaoe where he was ever within the range of the species. I am inclined to think there was something in this record. We are anxions to hear ail about your trip and Glacier Parkt fti'd any new records for the bird and animal lists. Tery truly yefors. Pu (Jy2.A/^ir^^ Chief Field Itoturalis UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE BUREAU OF BIOLOGICAL SURVEY WASHINGTON, D. C. ADDRESS REPLY TO CHICr. BUREAU or BIOLOGICAL SURVEY, AND REFER TO July 14, 1919 • Dr. C. Hart Merrlam, Lagunitas, California. Dear Dr. Merriam: Glad to hear that you got through all right and had a good view of Glacier Park. We have heen forwarding some letters to you at lagunitas, and today a package of reports of the California Academy of Sciences has arrived by express, hut I think you will not want them sent out there. They are the reports of the President of the Academy for 1918, Notes on Western American Chitons, Ants of the Galapagos Islands, Field Notes on Land Birds of the Galapagos Islands, and Life 2one Indicators in California. This last number is by Dr» H. M. Hall and Joseph Grinnell. This you may want sent on unless you can get a copy from one of the authors to keep out there. I will not send it until I hear that you want it, and will keep the whole lot at my house for you until you return. The package was broken open so I investigated its contents. In a letter from Howard Eaton the other day, he tells me that Mr. J. R. W. Sargent is now at Detroit, Minnesota, and will be there until some time in September, so you can write him there instead of Chicago if you do not hear from your previous letter to him. It is delightfully cool here, just about like Lagunitas weather. All well. Very truly yours.

C. February 13, 1920 Dr» C. Hart Merrlam, The Nortliuin'berland, Washington, D. C. Dear Dr. Kerriam: On receipt of your inquiry of February 11, I called up the office of Farm Management to inquire as to the progress of our report on Life and Crop Zones that we turned in for publication in the Department Atlas. Mr. Baker, who has charge of this work, is away at the present time, and Mr. Stafford of his office tells me that they are still helJLup on prublication owing to lack of funds that were ex- pected for the purpose. a?hey are going ahead with the work, however, and gathering material for each of the folios as fast as they can, and it is only a matter of funds for bring- ing out the numbers as they are prepared. Mr. Baker will be back about the 5th of March, and I will take it up with him personally as he has all the inside information, and I will let you know then what the prospects are for its publication in the near future. Very truly yours. Chief Field Naturalist. X.. It'l Shoshone Falls.

BUREAU or BIOLOGICAL SURVCT, AND RErER TO October 10, 1921 Dr. C. Hart Merriam, La^tmitas, Marin County, California. Dear Br* Merriam: I am Just baCiC in the office after 15 months ' absence smd find things considerably changed around in our quarters. The economic bird v/ork and workers have moved over into another building, and we have readjusted our desks and files to better advantage than before. The dark room in v/hich I have worked for several years is now being used for file cases, while I have a corner in the large room with good light on my desk. Dr. Oberholser asked me if I remembered what disposition you had made of your personal bird papers in your little upright file case which you left here for our use. No one seems to be quite sure whether you turned them over to the Biological Survey, or whether you wish to leave them merely as a loan. In case you do not want them back, it would be much more convenient to have them arranged in our regular files, but they do not wish to change them until hearing from you to make sure just what use you want made of them. In case you do not want the papers, do yOu care for the little wooden case in which they are kept, as I think it is your personal property? All of our records are being put into steel files as fast as possible, and there does not seem to be any scheme into which this case fits. In case you do not wish it, it can be discarded with other old cases we are eliminating. Everything seems to be going well here at the office, and it is good to be back again comfortably placed to do some work. I hope you will be able to find good office quarters here, but I am afraid the city is going to be very crowded this winter. Sincerely yours. tJ. £/tA^'xr^ — Chief Field L'aturalist. / ^ 7 \ ^oC^y^^-i (A^^ {<^^^yt^(^^n^^ X^ ^'-'iT'l^^ ly^-tf^ 4^ 4cw^ w^^-^^-y^l Vt^W ; kf^ (ATO-^ t^trjre^-*^*^ /A-V ^UM^iA^^^ vt,^-r^U^ i^rv-lli C^-.^f\^ flvU-ct^ ^i^t^A^:!^.
