My Dear Merrlam:-
In reply to yoxir favor of the 27th. will say that the
skvills were all froB the Kenai Peninmila* Yoiirs of the 29th. is also
at hand and I note your appreciation of the photos. You are right when
you think it quite a task for me to secure the photos of the White
Sheep. I wa8 compelled to stay out for three day and nights above timber
line and without any wood for fire^ but I got *e««
YeStI l:iave some Moose and sheep heads for saletbutfH^ good
fellow, I want you to know that they are not of nor own killing for I
have never, in all my life, killed heads or game for sale, except those
sent to the National Museimi. It is entirely against ny principles*
The heads which I have are some that I bought from Indians and white
\
il
h\mt»r« while »jp there thta season. I herewith encloae jou a price Hat
and aflffiire you I appreciate your very kind offer.
Rvrythlng I killed thla year I went to the Muaeiai and I would
have given coaslderaule to have killed \loose with larger headn.out I
done my best and only killed the largeat I saw and himted hard for
twenty one days, however those I sent are considerable abova the average
Of course I would have gladly put in one or two of the heads that I
bought .Which were a little larger than those I sent the Miiseia »tmt ^liy
dear boj,I did not have the skin that grew with that particular head
and I knew that the Miiseivn certalnlj did not want that kind of a deal.
What I sent them was the skln^ bone, horn and hair of the Individual
just as he fell. If they should want to mount different skin and head.
I will gladly send them a 67 Inch head .but this would not Mdi^ an
honest specimen when mounted.
Wishing you many happy returns of the New Year. I remain.
Very truly yours.

Washington, D.C.
My Dear Merriajn:-
I have not heard from or of you since your visit here at
my home, other than indirectly through the columns of Pores t and
Stream. T note that you were not successful in corraling the elk
that you so much desired to transplant on a different reservation*
However, I hope that you will be able to succeed in bringing this
about at some future time* T am glad that you were able to procure
some specimens of this new species and , no doubt, they will be
mounted for your new museiim tliat we poor chaps who will never
want to hunt them in their native 77ild8 will be permitted to see
them under glass cases*
What has become of our mutual friend, Prof. ¥an de Man ?
I have not heard from him for some time and ask if you will kindly
give me his address* I know that his former home was in Virginia,
but believe that he now lives in Washington*
.J • -.»
Dr C.H.M.-2
Please accept the enclosed complimentary which I am very
glad to hand you, and will write you later regarding the organizat-
ion of this Club of which 1 am founder and want to have you as one
of US. I shall be glad to hear from you at any time.
Mrs De Weese joins me in sending lore and kindest regards
to both you and Mrs Merriam. She often speaks of our stay in Wash-
ington and recalls with pleasant recollections our nice visit at
your home and your company to the Zoo. In fact, this was the last
time that we have seen Prof. Van de Man.
Should you make a trip to any part of the We»t this year,
be sure and bring Mrs Merriam with you and stop with us.
Yours very truly,

Dr. C, Hart Merriam,
Washington, D. C. $5 BIOL
My deer Mr, Merriam;-
Your letter of sometime ago received, l:)ut like many of my
love letters I have let it go "by unanswered until after the holiday
season as I did not think ray reply was pressing. I assure you that I
am very glad to hear from you and I note that you make inquiry as to
whether or not I have received any authentic information regarding
the existence of moose in Colorado. In reply will say that some three
or four years ago a friend of mine told me that he saw a moose in
the Had Desert which lies in the northwestern corner of this State.
For your information I will say regarding this desert that it is not
altogether a desert plain for there are three or four creeks running
through it, very heavily timbered and both you and I well kno?/ that
moose could not he ranging in an antelope country. I can very easily
■■MNHMMMMMMlaa
So 2
/
see the possibility of moose migrating from Idaho and taking up their
hahitat in that locality. When in California last winter I met this
friend and had another talk with him one evening at dinner in the St.
Francis Hotel, and he still thought there were moose in the Red
Desert country. My friend's name is Frank Mayer who is the present
editor of the Western Field. You have no douht seen the magazine
many times. Don't understand me to say that I don't believe Mr.
Stayer's statement hut I am inclined to helieve that he was mistaken
in what he saw. A young hull elk could very easily he taken for a
moose if seen at some little distance. I have asked several cow boys
who I know have ridden considerable in that country. They say they
have seen no moose. Asto my own opinion it would be worth nothing for
I can say as I said before how probable it would be for a stray moose
to get in there from the Idaho country, yet at the present time 5*
doubt if there is one there now.
I returned six weeks ago from Newfoundland where I had been
on a caribou hunt. I succeeded in getting three very handsome stags
and prepared them for mounting whole and I propose to present two of
them to the ftate Museum. By the way I still have that two year old
"Ovis Helsoni" ram for you if you care for it and have a place that
it will fit in a group. I will send it along if you so desire.
Friend Merriam you know that I had graduated from the Head
Hunting Class some years ago and on my recent hunts I have always
took measurements and preserved the whole specimen, and I am doing
«
everything I can to help build up our ^tate Museum.
50 3
I latend to go to Idaho sometime and shoot a good big elk
and giye its skin and my record head to our State Museum for } think
it a ahoie that suoh specimens should be hung up in a private col-
lection.
Mr. Merriam I am satisfied that this elk of mine is not the
i
1
comDon run of elks. There must be two or three species of our
American TTapiti. The spread of the beam is different, the shape of
the brow points are different, and the royal and back tines are also
different. They differ in size, in shape and in the manner in which
they leave the main beam. I have never seen but one, in the head lite
it, and that one I have in my possession which was killed by a
friend of mine near Hans Peak in the Rabbit Ear range which is the
Southwest boundary of Korth Park. Colorado. This head has seven
prongs to each beam, the royal tine on the right beam broken off
about half its length, this set of horns in every way resemble
those on my big head, both of which have that unusual corrugation
or roughness. This animal was killed some twenty years ago about
the time that I shot mine on the head of the South Fork of White
River, this State. I don't know If the plains elk and the mountain
elk have been differently classified or not, but there is just as
much difference between these two heads and the common run of elk
as there is between our mountain elk and the elk of the Olympha
Mountains, Washington. Have you ever given this any thdught or
consideration? If so I would be pleased to have your views.
I Intend to make another hunting trip to Alaska some day
and J want to get a big bull moose to add to the group they propose
to mount in our State Museum. The one they have I consider a very
inferior specimen. I must get him from the i^y,^^ ^
Aenai Peninsula.
lo 4
When I am reedy to start you must help me to get the
necessary permit to bring home the stuff from that locality for
our state. Will you do it? You know I don't want to shoot a
moose for myself. I would not do so if I had the chance for I
have killed enough for any one white man, but in all my future
hunts, while I will get a little sport out of them I want to
help build up our Museum,
I now want to write you something strictly confi-
dential. Please do not divulge ft to any of my hunting friends
as yet. I am thinking very strong of making a hunting trip to
Africa this coming season. Should I go do you think there la
anything that I could do for our national Museum? I have thought
of going in the Uganda country north of the railroad, possibly
towards or back of Lake Rhudolf. Can you give me any pointers?
I should be very glad to hear from you at your convenience.
Mrs. Deweese joins me in sending kindest regards to
both you and yours, fishing you a prosperous year, I am.

My dear Mr, Roosevelt; —

I thank you for your very kind letter of the 6th inst.
I also
received a letter this A. !• from your worthy secretary Mr, Loeh dated
the 8th which enclosed a communication from Dr. C. Hart Merriara dated the
7th. I herewith return the same. I note that Mr. Merriam says that there
has "been no expedition planned by the government to Africa and that the
report is erroneous. I also enclose you a letter from my old time friend
David G. Weems , 85 William Stree New York which was written me January
19th. He knew I was figuring somewhat on an African trip hence his let-
ter. In it you will see how my idea was prompted to write you as I did
on February 2d as he says he saw the report in the Hew York World. \ hope
you will mail Mr. Weems letter to Mr. Merriam that I may be set right with
him. I am glad Mr. Weems letter failed to find its way into my waste
#2 .
tasket es it will vindicate me of any presiunptuouaness on my part in
writing you as I did February Ed.
After receiving his letter I thought if the government intended
on sending an expedition of this kind that I would like to accompany it
to pack in the elephant, rhino, hippo, etc. that others might shoot, but
as this report was a wild goose chase I suppose I will have to hike out
to Africa alone and hope for a more correct government report later.
Pardon my encroachment on your time during these busy days and
believe me,
Yours most sincerely.

My Dear Dr I^erriam:-
I assure you that I vbb very glad to have your letter of the
2nd instant and am glad to know that you are still a very busy man. It
is hect for us- wo would get into mischief othenvise.
I also assure you that I would like very much to step into
your a-partmont at the new museum and see those 100 or more Alaska
bear skulls on your table. It certainly muct bo a very interesting site.
ITo, I :;ave not made any very erter.oive trips lately. Three
years ago, I went to Newfoundland and brou,<rht back three Carribou stags,
ily last two trips have beer in Old Mexico and lower California for the

You say in jOtir letter that you still have my hig Alaska
Brown Bear shull, and that in your notes you find that I shot
him September 7, 1897 in the Heane hills, and you suppose the Heane
hills are a part of ITenai peninsula^ You are quite right in that
stateinent. Hov;ever, if I v/rote you this statement, the stenographer
made a mistalie in spelling the Heane Kills; it should he the "Ilenai
Mountains" on the I^enai Peninsula, which lies midway between lake
Tuskunania and lake Kenai* I think the exact spot is shown on the
map I made you on my trip in 1898 •
How, My Dear loan; I shall be very gird indeed to Iniow in
which class you place this skull. You know I have my mind made up
about the iladiali bear and on the extent of its range; so I want
you to hand it down to me hard and give rro yo^ir honest opinion.
By the way, L!r. P.oosevelt has had a great trip and most suc-
coGsful in every way. "Ye godo and little fishes", if some more of us
had a small pittance in which to cover part of the same country. I hope
to be able to do so sometime in the nerr future. How, I am her:rt and
soul in the midst of an irrigation ente'r-- rise here that will see my
finish. But, just as well wear out at this, I guess, as climbing hills
or crosc.ing plains to murder sore poor hrrmles. creature. As I grow
older, I get less inclined to take the life of this branch of our an-
cestors. However, I am not conscious smitten as I j.ave never been a
butcher

My dear Mr. Merriam:-
Absence from home delayed my answer to your
veiy kind letter of the 14th inst. I have bee-, in the mountains
over on Grand River, and I assure you I was very glad to hear trom
you once more.
Now ray dear man, with reference to grizzilie
bear skulls, will say that at one time several years ago I had foirr
or five unusually good skulls, but I got tired of seeing them around
and I gave them away to first one and then the other, and now I have
not one left in ray collection except one that is mounted in a lug.
Wo, neither do I happen to know of any one that
has a Plains Grizzily skull. I remember of attdnding the funeral of
one of these bears in 1876 near the mouth o^ the Cimarron ^iver, but
I have never seen or heard or one since. However, there weie a great
many of these bea.rs killed in northern Nebraska and southern Dakota
on the plains several years later than that, but really I would not
know where to turn to secure one now,
I should be very glad to render you some assist-
ance were it possible. However, should you oon^plete your work I would
Dr. CH^M. # 3
b/Zl/lZ
be very glad to receive a
copy
I do not know where I will go to r my next vacation.
I had thought some or making a trip to the HTCI^HT OP LWD, which
would be on the head waters of the Prazier, Peace, Nesse and south
fork of the Stickiene Rivers. I have never heard of anybody hunting
through there and as this would be the northern limit of the Wapati,
Black Tailed Deer and a meeting place of the "Ovis Montana" and
•Ovis Stonei'', I thought it would be a very interesting country.
Have you ever had a man up through this section and have you got
another map that might give me some inrormation or if you know of a
copy in print I would be veiy glad to pay for one.
Both Mrs. DeWeese and rryself would be very glad to
have you stop off and see us at any time you happen through this
way. We both send kindest regards to yourself and family.

I returned yesterday and your letter reached me this morning. I thank
you y^r^ much for your very kind letter and I note thst you are about
to make an auto trip kcross the Continent to yonr susMr hons in
California. Both Mrs. DeWeese and myself are In hopes that you will
pass through this way. If you do. we want you to mk» our horn* your
place of rest for a few days, and we will do what w» ten for your com-
fort and pleasure. I am sorry that I did not recelye your letter at
an earlier date, for I fear you may have started on your trip. How-
ever, my letter will be reforwarded ahead of you. no douot, where you
will pick it up at some point on the trail.
I have just received a letter from A. ¥. »elson of

the maps which you requested him to do. I shall write hlia.

arzange for »e to make tay trip through the Sorth this aimer and faU.
but I desire to poet layeelf on the locality, so that I can hare every-
thing well in mind at any time that I might be able to arrange a trip.
I have some parties whom l would like for you to call
on. should your route lead you through the towns in which they live,
iirst. if you should happen to come through Troy. Ohio, be sure to
call on Honorable A. F. Broomhall. Attorney, an old friend of mine.
who will treat you royally, bhould you come through Omaha, be sure
to call on my daughter, Mrs. E. B. Towle. S105 Lewey Avenue, and
then, if you come this way you will find the latch string out at Dall's

down the jiagle and Grand Rivers to Glenwood. thence to Grand Junction

you had decided on a northern route through Wyoming ITational Park,
thence westward.

everything going with you? I have just returned from a trii) in
the southern part of the state in quest of a group of white tail
for the State Museum, and succeeded in getting a record-"breakiiu?
touck they say, and two others. I intend to return to make a try
for a doe. '
This is incidental to wtiat I wanted to ask you ahout.
When here you may have noticed a few specimens of fossils and
petrified bone in my den. I have always been much interested in
this and have done considerable work in this state taking them out.
I found some petrified and agatized bone of the dinosaurus, I think
not long ago, also some stones of an ancient Jurassic period I guess.
However I would like for you to send me any pamphlets descriptive
of these prehistoric animals that you may be able to get in the
Department. I will very much appreciate this.
The recent find I speak of I do not know what it may
develop, but I am going to do a little work on it soon. If anything
shows up worth while I will be glad to report to you. ^^
Myself and family are all real well and I send personal

I have lived in this locality thirty years, and for the
past forty have been quite a student of natural hiBtory at spare
times, and have made a hunting trip to almott all foreign lands of
the Globe. This has been a side issue with me from my regular en-

In this vicinity I have found fossil remains (petrified)
of the supposed Dinosaurus or other saurian species. Also, I be«-
lieve,from those of the Dinornis and the Pterdact-yl. I have located
two or three different fossil beds in this locality, and have done

Bow smile, you good oatured rascai. and I can almost hear you think
Has Dall gone crazy?
But Doc, my dear man, I am getting uo something a little different
then any thing out as yet, and I believe it will meet with your approval.
I am writing you to ask if you would write me a forward for it,
after I have sent you a description later of just what I propose the book
to be.
it will not only be interesting reading for the old or middle aged
but especially for the young child in school.
It will describe animals truthfully, and hon^st-to-Sod, with all
fiction eliminated in ray narrating a short hunt for a specirten of each
specie securing in a period covering fifty years of my life.
I have two men in mind that I would aek to do thist one is your-
self and the other is Dr. David Starr Jordan of leland Stanford University
California whom I know quite well.
I know of two others whom you think I should ask to write it.
one of whom is our
authority on game animals, but I have a reason
for not asking him which I will tell you the next time I oome east, as I
intend to look you up on that trip.
I would please like our correspondence concerning my work treated

up my time, but I expect to finish it up this winter, and within a
month or so, I will seal you a copy of the Introduction and one of my
other articles, that you may see what it is like, and decide if it
is worthy of a forward from you which I would be glad to have.
Per your informtion will say that I am leaving for Jackson Hole Wyoming
to look over the elk situation and hay lands of the Izaak Walton league
to try and deteradne a feasible end practical solution of a national
Game Refuge in that vicinity,
I am enclosing you a copy of the DalJ. DeWees^ Plan for such a Refuge
and hope that you will find time to read it over carefully, and after
you have picked it to pieces and thought it over, let me know your
views concerning it.
I do not know your whereabouts at the present time, but presume you
will return to your home in lashing ton after your si^-inmer observation

Trusting this finds you well end happy and that I may hear from you,

1^ dear Dr* Merriam:
I waa off at the cantonment at Camp Kearny, having an inter-
eating time photographing the war work there, when your generous package
of "separates'* arrived and I have been so busy with development and
printing of ny negatives since my return that I only now sit down to
thank you for your eourtesy in sending me so many of the results of
your work. This morning, to w^ surprise and delight, your fauna on
the gritslies reaehed me. I shall work through it with keen interest.
Generally it is about a year after they are off the press before I
spot the Biological Survey and Smithsonian publications, so it is
a pleasure to be able to see this so promptly*
Within a week I hope to send you some bromide enlargements
of some of my wild game negatives. The deer have been mostly photo*
graphed from a canoe at night in the old time way which we all owe to
ShiraSs The bear was one which we baited up to a set camera (fired
by the bear himself with trip thread) one year in the northern penin«
aula of Michigan when blueberries were particularly searee and the
bears consequently peculiarly amenable to bait seduction. I got two
corking plates there in two nights and a third chance which turned out
a failure*
Things are too tmse ttled in these days to be certain of
plans but I shall look forward to seeing you without fail this next
year in case your swing around the circle brings you to Pasadena*
My draft board has slapped me in class 5 and they have pretty thor-
oughly turned me down on the volunteer basis, even f6r special work
so it is hi^ly improbable that I will be off for the war at least
for a year or so* Thers is Just a possibility of my coming to Wash*
ington in the late spring or early summers Do you come west before
that time?
Thanking you again for your generous response in the
matter of separates, etc., and begging that you extend the kindest
regards of both my mother and myself to your fsimily, I remain.
Very sincerely yours.

p.s.
Am I correct in the belief that you have turned over or disposed
of your mammal collection to the department? I had a rather longer series of
Aplodontias from the Ma mmoth country in the Sierras than I needed and
I thought if you were still adding to your private collection and cared for
them I would send them along.

Ify dear Dr« Merriaia:
I let the days go by this fall after ny return from the
east thinking that either 1 would be able to work in a trip to
6an Francisco or that you would be coming down this way on your
way east but with the coming of December I realize that you are
probably long ago in Washington and that my change uf seeing you
is gone for the year. Both Mother and I are sorry you did not
come this way — she because it deprived her of an opportunity
of reminiscing about one of the happiest summers of her life — «
I because I was most anxious to have you here at the house and
show you some of the photographs and the collection of California
birds and mammals I have been getting together in the last four
or five years as a side issue in the photographic game« I have
something over four thousand specimens now and it really makes
quite a decent representation of the smaller land mammals and
birds of the state. By the way, a chap who was helping me last
summer got me half a dozen llicrodipodops and one of the iShrew
Moles from up in the Modoc region. Vy representation is getting
complete enough so that additions of that sort ol new species
to iBy collection quite thrill me.
Before the outbreak of the war I had been working over
«y library quite a bit, getting together as many of the working
pamphlets and books as I could get hold of. Expecting to go into
service I dropped the matter for the time being but as I have now
been turned down about four times i realize that for the present
my chances for that sort of work are slim and as a result am pick-
ing up the photographic and collecting threads again. After tak-
ing several weeks to get my courage up, I am writing to some of
the men in Washington and New xork on the chance of their having
some duplicate**separates'of their published works which they could
spare. I do not presume to bother you to go over your material
with this in view but if you come across anything of the sort of
your own work which you have in duplicate, I should be most grate-
ful to be borne in mind. I had thought of bothering Messrs. Allen,
Bailey, Qoldman and G« S» Miller and have already written Mr. Nelson*
Do you think of any other men who might have duplicate material of
that sort and who would not feel insulted to be pestered by an
unknown Westerner? Mr. Osgood and Mr» Bangs turned a deaf ear
to a similar appeal from a. B. Howell, a friend of mine here who
has done some rather serious collecting and who wrote them along
similar lines last year, so I have intentionally omitted their
names from the above list.
With sincere regards to yourself and family, I remain,
Sincerely yours, ^ m

Dr. C. Hart Merriam,
1919 Sixteenth St.,
Was hingt on , D • C .
My dear Dr. Merriam: -
It is with profuse apologies that, with the armistice
duly signed,! find, on returning home, the photographs still here which I
promised you more than a year ago. Soon after that promise and before my
part of it was carried out I wandered off to a ranch in an endeavor to
get fat enough to persuade^ha?^?FfiIfi?ftg of some years l>oth in photography
and military rifle shooting was not to be as lightly thrown aside as they
at first thought proper. My of fort was so far successful that on my tenth
physical examination I was passed and duly recommended as snipiag officer & Capt.
after some months 'training at the sniping school at Camp Perry, Ohio.
But it all came too late to be more than a futile waste of time and so I
am back ho^ne for a time. With my return here came the realization of many
obligations unfulfilled. Among them I remember my promise in regard to photos to you
and in consequence I am forwarding you a few of my prints left over from pre-war
stock with the hope that they may interest you during some one of the moments of re-
we all have coming to us after the unpleasantness of the last months and
years. Accept them with no thought of the slightest indebtedness, since they
are simply scattering duplicate prints left over from pre-war stocks. Things
are so unsettled in the world that it seems problemetical when one can
return to things of that sort. It is therefore a double pleasure to be able
to send you some of the fragments of an era in my life that is linked rather
more with your name than you, perhaps, realize, for I always attribute my turning
to the out-of-doors, which in pre-war days meant so much to me, to the fortuitous
circumstances that threw me, as hero-worshiper, at the feet of John Muir and
yourself in the Sierran summer of 1902, and in lesser degree to Roosevelts
early writings. Accept them, therefore, without even the necessity of undue
acknowledgment on your part and remember that my Mother and myself still look
forward to someday kid-napping you in transit and having you here at the
house where my collections have grown to 4000 or so birds and mammals and
where nearly a like number of bird and mammal ne^^atives mi^ht amuse you for
an evening or so.
The adu]t fox is U.c«californious taken by himself as he tugged
at the bait of a ''set" camersT Tiigh in the transition zone of the Ventura Co.
mountains here in California. The brush of this individual is the most remark-
able of ny eiiperience with th'' species. To appreciate its luxurience one
must remember the fore :^ ho rtening effect of a comparatively short lens.
The cub fox is of the same species made by his brother at the mouth of their
den in the foothills back of the Ojai Valley, Calif . This youngster happened
to be in such striking E.Seton T. pose that I utilized only a square inch or
so of the original plate in composing this particular print. The original
full plate shows three cubs in all but the position of this chap seemed
worth perpetuating alone by enlargment. The cat is L.e.eremicus^ presumably,

since it was an individual that fired a"set",or "trap" camera baited with a young
rabbit on the edge of the Colorado Desert ner^r Yuma. The White-tail Buck is from
a negative obtained in the sane way - - that is by a "set" camera with the trip
thread strung across a Mew Brunswick deer "lead". The ttark of the thread is
discernible across the forehead above the eyes. The conventional Shiras method of
game photography with canoe and "Jack" generally gives more alert and interesting
poses from the photographic stand poind, but I must cAnfeas to a love of the occasional
success from this "set" camera work. Tlhen one does get a good thing in this way it is
less alert and changing possibly but it has the charm of the utterly natural, since
man is miles away in be^^like as not at the time, and the camera has been set long
enough for the scent to wear off. I have always thou|.>:ht that the photographic skin
of Africa had hardly been scratched fcr the reason that no really efficient line
of these set cameras has ever been worked there for any considerable period.
Even Dugmore had to make up for the deficiency of his outfit by his courage and
hardship in personal vigil. The bear is from a neg. made in the same way of a
fine old chap that came to a bread and molasses "lead" in the northern penn. of
Michigan. This is one of three chances I have had at bear - - - al ' of them, black.
Avoiding the parks as I would the plague and never having had the luck to work in
Alaskn my chances with them have been limited. This chap came on a fogg^/ night
and it is interesting to note the superficial character of the condensation on his
pelage. Underneath he is apparently as dry as a bug in a rug.
The "reat Blue Heron was made \r. the more conventional Shiros method of "jacking
from a canoe. Locality - headwaters of the Tobique River in New Brune.
The other two birds are from negs. that I consider sunong the lu^^kiett of my take.
I was making a series of the r parent Black-headed Grosbeak (Z.m.capitalis) on her
nest in the Ojai Valley, Vent. Co. when the bird left, the nest""f'Fr"a few moments.
During her absence the Calif. Jay (A.c.californica) represented in the second photo
sneaked to the nest and seized an e'ggT Since the camera was already loaded and
focused on the nest in anticipation of the Grosbeak's return I was luckily able
to perpetuate the theft.
With sincere b6st wishes to Mrs. Merriam and your daughter and the
repeated hope that you may some dav favor us with a day in the course of >our
journevings, and repetition oT^^fSttP groerous pkg. of "separates" forwarded to me

in a peculiar way from you and from George Cillery Bale and

is due more than anything to the way you can still bubble

and especially the problem of the hour, I alT/ays come away
from you all boosted up for another endurance test with
irtiatever may be the problem of my hour* Thanks i

Hy deer Dr. aerriem:-
It was something of a shock to receive
your letter of February 24th, and to learn that you
had had a siege in the hospital since I saw you in
Washington. You seemed so emininently well at that
tiae, but perhaps your invariable energy is mis-
leading in that regard. In any event, it is a
delight to know that the weakness has been eradicated
and that you are back on the job by thic time.
The clipping In reference to old Juncio
was, I realixed, of little definite value to you, but
I thought he might have been one of the oldtims In«
diana with whom yo\* had come in contact, and whose
passing would interest you.
Ever since my afternoon with you in
Washington, I have been mulling over your simplified
aystec of filing published material and notes, geo-
graphically and specifically. It delights me so
wher restricted to the working library of one indivi-
dual who does his own refiling, that I imagine I
shall copy you, with your permission, when my own
card aysteiL is deposited, as I intend it shall be,
for the general use of those working with vertebrates
in Southern California. I have always wondered just
what would happen when ray own card references left my
house, and I imagine that the installation of your
syst^a for my own personal use at home will be my
JBode of filling the void left by the departure of m^^
card ayetot. Meantime, since ray intention is to make
my references available for anyone working in the
vertebrate field, I suppose I shall have to continue
the analyzed cross-reference card system, with all its
''•■i^ications and nuisances. I so particularly appre-
ciated the manner in which you get a double check for

quick filing bj- using a split guide in addition
to your folders, with visible tabs in each case,
that I would like a sample of your style of
guide and folder so as to procure the same type
in case I do instal your system for home use.
Don't bother about it in this first rush of your
retiurn to work, but if you think of it anytinie
when you happen to be at the office, I would, as
I say, appreciate it if you would have your
stenographer send me a sample of each style.
The irnmediate future looks rather
interesting here on the Coast. In the museum
developraeut here in California, I have, of course,
been keen to see a department permitting actual
research established in connection either with the
Los Angeles Museum, or with the Southwest. Because
of political control, it seems hardly feasible to
attempt that sort of thing in connection with the
County Museum, and it is therefore with particular
delight that I have witnessed the enbrjronic in-
auguration of that idea at the Southwest since n^
return from the East. It is, of oourse, nothing
more than a latent possibility. But they are now
in the midst of a campaign for funds, and, contingent
upon the success of that campaign, they expect to
establish laboratory, office, and case room on
rather a decent scale. It is a thing of such vital
interest to me that I have thrown in my lot with
thera, in the hope of helping in a snail way to
bring the thing to fruition. I have always felt
that if I had any distinct "call", it was to help
in the coordination of the scattered scientific
work which is now going on to rather a surprising
extent in the garages, cellars, and bedrooms of
this vicinity. In any event, the organization
attempt will be interesting, so I am tackling it
with the keenest enthusiasm, in spite of the
haziness which, of course, still envelopes the
ultimate result.

Things never come singly, and it is one
of the misfortunes of the plan that it will nec-
essitate my refusal of a tentative scheme of Mr.
Nelson* 8, which is perhps even more directly in
line with my chief interests • If he can get the
cash, he intends to inaugurate a program of special
habit study with the big game, and was good enough
to think of me in nonnuction with the job, but,
because of the developments here, I will have to
give up any thought of that sort of thing for a
couple of years.
One thing I meant to check up on that
afternoon in Washington was the filing (classifi-
cation) system you follow with your mammals. In
my Collection Catalogue, the birds fall naturallj '
into a system that permits of ready reference,
largely because of everyone •s familiarity with the
A.O.U. order. But my mammal catalogue has always
been hazy in my own mind, and ij still far from
adapted to quick reference. Do you disregard your
Orders entirely, and simply utilize the generic
names in alphabetical order, or do you use an alpha-
betical arrangement of the genera within the Order,
or do you maintain a definite systematic classifica-
tion in your catalogue and reference files? Either
of the latter systems would have a certain educative
value for the assistants handling my files, in ease
they go on deposit at the museum, but, as I say, my
attempts to work out a combination of ready reference
and automatic relation education have not been satis-
factory to date. Whose classification to follow in
case I continue something of this kind seems to be
one of the stumbling blocks.
Had you happened to hear of the death of
John Lewis Childs on his way back East, after a short
visit to theCoast? It came as quite a shock to me,
for he was with us at a little bird-talk I gave at'
the Southwest a week ago Thursday, and seemed in good
shape then, and as enthusiastic about bird matters,
in a general way, as ever.

Vty dear Dr. Merriam:-
Your letter of March 26, in reply to
my recent inquiry with reference to the exact filing guidea
and envelopes which you employed, and which I found it hard
to carry in mind, has come aafely to hand, together with
the samples which you so kindly furnished me. Accept my
sincere appreciation.
Uy inquiry with regard to classifi-
cation (fsjnily and genera order) for filing purposes had to
do rather with the arrangement of ray collection catalogue
cards than with a system of excerpt files, in which, as you
say, the drawer label would be sufficiently indicative of
contents. Your reply satisfies my doubt entirely, i had
simply not felt like going ahead with alphabetical rather
than relationship f iling ,lest I be minimizing the relation-
ship end of the proposition. }fy own feeling was that a
file catalogue was not essentially the place to learn re-
lationships anyway, but was, instead, for quick and ready
reference, so I am glad to note that you do not feel the
need of ray changing that idea.
The plan for the Southwest Museum
was intentionally given in the vague, rather than in detail
since it has not even yet advanced beyond the tentative '
point. The main thing, as I see it, is to get some sort of
collective and coord inateJL work started here in Southern
California, and to that end I stand ready, as I said, to
*pool my reference bibliography, books, collections, 'and
things of that kind, in return for office and floor 'space
in a fire-proof building, instead of the frame house where
they now stand. But, beyond that, I feel ouite as you do -
that any pooling" of manuscript would be utterly ridiculoua
and impractical. Your warning resulted from a misunderstand-
ing i^my vague statements in the matter. The most that
could be done in anything of that kind would be to have
possibly, locality and specie, reference, on deposit, rlfer-

would be better worked out, it seems to me, if each Man

The postaark of the card of Christmas greetings
was Washington, and I gjqi therefore forced to the realization that your
route this year took you directly East and that our hope of welcoming
you to the new hone at the above pernanent address is postponed for
six months or a year.
After a glorious two months field trip up in
ny old stanping grounds in New Brunswick this sunner, made successful
from the motion picture standpoint by the drought and glorious sun
and abundance of game (I saw as high as 50 head of big game a day many
days of July), we turned .Test, and after a long and trjdng search, were
successful in finding a just-completed hoce exactly suited to our needs.
It is in the semi-Spanish style, with six comfortable rooms for living
quarters, and a glorious studio wing for m^^ work. I an sorry you could
not have seen the latter, for I know you would have rejoiced with me in
the new conditions vrhich I will have for my work.
What are you up to these days? Still deep in
Indian lore and records? And was the past sumner a success in giving
you the final data you desired with reference to the old village sites,
etc.? Personally, I still tr^'- to combine the semi-popular motion picture
work, because of financial necessity, and at the same time to work in all
that I can of serious vertebrate stu4' • Speaking of the latter, the
Laurence liuey who was vj^ith me on the sheep trip v/hich I made for Nelson
and who has done much of mj^ field work in Mammals, took a cat this year
in t}ie VJhite Mountains, over the lino in Mono Co., California. The
whole problem of the cats here in California (l refer, of course, to Lynx)
needs further work, to m^^ mind, and I hope to tackle the problem v/ithin
the State as soon as I have m;^'' collections installed here. Meantime,
hovTever, I should like a check upon this specimen, since it is my impression
that it will prove to be an outpost specimen and station for baileyi from
farther East. Is there anyone about Washington today whose opinion on the

Btatter you would consider final and conclusive? If there is, I want to ship
the beast on to V/asldngton for diagnosis, in order that it nay be included,
in case it proves to be bai ley i , in Grinnell*s new oonteaplated list of the
liaaBnals of California. Have you done mtioh with the cats yourself, and am I
right in fearing that when I get into the problen here in California, I will
find I^mx characters superficial, obscure, and difficult to work with^ or am
I wrong m isy belief that the cranial characters of the group are rather un-
satisfactor^,^? I an sorr^^ to bother you for information in the Esatter, but I
am personally too suspicious of the knov;'ledge we liave of the group here on
the Coast to feel like taking up the natter of this individaal without check-
ing first with y^u.
You will knoiY the whole story when I tell you of th«
chore it has been to move nr^ library, files, and collections, which now
number upwards of 10,000 specinens. Because of the detail connected with it,
I have been grossly negligent of Christmas cards and remembrances this year,

It was a delight to hear by your letter of
January 4th that your sunnier, too, had been successful. I watoh the
progress toward your goal in Indian work here in California not only
with an interest in that work, but with the constant selfish hope that
it nay be brought to its proper completion with dispatch, and that you
nay then feel that your next problem is to tackle the comprehensive
work on North America mannials that we all so need.
I trust the cliange from the office
quarters where I saw you last has meant simply a change to more conven-
ient heme work, and that the waste of time in moving has therefore been
worthwhile. The offices seemed so ideal in many ways that I hope the
change has not been due to any one of the pesky landlords with whom
Washingtcm seems so cluttered. Or is it long enough after the war so
that conditions are bettering there?
I am taking you up on your kind offer with
reference to checking up on my White Mountains Bob-cat. I do it with
SOMS hesitation because of the nuisance I know it will be to you. But
it seems the only way that I can satisfy myself in regard to it. The
skin and skull went forward this morning by Express. I included in the
shipment another cat skin without skull, from Kirby, Montana. It may be
impossible to do anything with the latter^ but it was utterly impossible
for me to tabkle here on the Coast, and I thought that it might be
possible that the Survey has material from that section, with skulls, ote.
The shipment went forweurd in my absence, and was sent in error to your
house, instead of to the Survey, lify apologies for the extra xmintentional
trouble caused you thereby.
All three of the Dickeys count on seeing the
lierriams here in southern California on their swing back toward Lagunitas.

I almost forgot a rumored item that will be
of prime interest to you. I am "told" that within the last six months a
Grizzly has been killed in California, and that the skin and skull are
here in Los Angeles County. It may all prove to be pure gossip or mis-
identification, but you may be sure that I am hot on its trail, and that
you will have prcxapt word of it in case it proves that a specimen of one
of the vanished or vanishing California species has really been taken.
With best wishes as always for your Winter,
I remain

Ify dear Dr. Uerriam:
Just a line to tell you of my shock and regret
at the news of the additional operation. I had hoped that the one of
a year or so ago was the last work hiatus of the sort.
The man who is reported to have token the "grizzly"
is in Eurooe,I now find, and I cannot get track of it till his return
in a month' or so. But you may be sure I shall keep on the trail until
I prove it true or false.
I repeat my apology as to tj^e cats going to your
house instead of to the B.S. as directed. Knowing the box was to go to you
they fired it out to your letter address while I was out, thinking they were
doing me a favor by saving an extra MX?IXiQtiDCJaDeKXX stop the next time dcwm

Ify dear Dr. !iertiam:-
Additional inTomation in regard to the California grizzly record
-which I have been attenpting to run dovni these last months, "brings you to mind,
and reminds me that you yrere starting off for Johns Hopkins the last time I heard
from you. How did the operation monkey business come out? It alv/ays seems such a
-waste of scientific time to be forced to undergo delays of that kind, but the
successful outcome is often so -well worthv?hile. I shoiad be keen to hear i-ihat you
are up to.
I contemplate a return east on June 7th, to finish up some last
ration pic-bure records I -want to make in connection -irith my ^evi Brtmsrack v/ork vdth
■oose and deer. I plan to get into the -VToods quite early this year, in order to
study the game under June conditions. I shall have a hurried day in Washington,
about the middle of June, but fear that you -will have started for Lagunitas before
•that date. I shall be back in Washington sometime in September, and may inm into
you then. All the Dickeys count on ^^u for a real old fashioned pov/-v/ov; v/henever

Ih/- dear Dr» Merriam:-
This is the tine of year vfhen ^nou once or tv.'ice
passed through Pasadena on j^ur spiring back to Washington, so I am dropping
you a line to express the hope tliat both Mrs, Dickeys and I vd.ll have the
pleasure of vrelcoming you and Mrs. iSrriam again this year. I am keen to
hear how your summer panned out, and -whether you feel that your California
Indian v/ork is reaching the fruition stage.
The new }!rs. Dickey and I had a marvelous summer
back in ra;^'- old stamping grounds in Hew Brunswick. I took one of those
new high ^peed cameras ivhich analyze motion at the rate of 200 pictures
a second^ into the v.'oods with me this year, und the resultant tinalyses
of the gaj-ts of moose and deer would interest you, I am sure. I am
scheduled to go East in February for a few nasty publicity "lectures"
with the film. One of the bright spots in that trip will be the hope
of seeing the Merriams in Washington. We missed you "when I v/as there in
September, but the Baileys did their best to make up for it by their
generous hospitality.
By the way, can you tell me off hand whether a
paratype must of necessity be at the same time a topotype? I have checked
Thomas on the subject (Proc. Zool. Sec. London, 1893) together mth
Palmer, etc. All agree that a paratype should properly be "one of the
original series" examined by the desoriber and entunerated in his description
but I failed to satisfy myself as to whether these "original series" can
permissibly contain specimens from two or more localities or •whether
that "original series" must be topotypic. I had always ussumed the latter,
but now find no apparent basis for irr belief.
Trusting that you are in fine physical shape
after your unpleasant session last winter, I remain
Sincerely yours.

Ify dear Dr, Merriam:-
It was a disappointment to learn by your letter of
December 4, that my birds had fled from California, but a pleasure
to feel that we shall see you in Washington.
Mrs. Dickey has a sister "in the Army" who chances
to be stationed in Washington for the time being. We shall there-
fore be with them in all probability* This in no way detracts from
the appreciation felt both by Florence and myself of the suggestion
of Mrs. Iferriam and yourself that we "stop" with you.
It Trvas a pleasure to get your reaction on all this
paratype-metatype business. There is a nice distinction possible
in these terms* Their value I felt frankly ready to question, but
there are so many valuable niceties that I am still too ignorant
to appreciate that I always try to get at the me^t of things of
that sort, as they come up. We had your Science, NS. 5: pp. 731-
732, May 7, 1897, reference on hand, but unfortunately the item
itself was not available in southern California. Similar lack of
the actual library items has been one of the really trying problems
connected with building from the ground up as we have had to do
here. It has often made us \mnecessarily troublesome to our
friends. Slowly, however, we begin to see light ahead as our
bibliography, and library, and collections grow.

My dear Dr. Merriam:-
Your letter of February 26 was awaiting me on ny
return from the eastern trip, of Vidiich Washington still remains a
bright spot both for I»4rs. Dickey and myself.
I also found your partially typed and personally
checked Llount Mazama paper of which v/e spoke in Washington. May I tell
you that that sort of time-taking" generosity is something of a marvel
to at least this member of the * scatter-brained younger generation" I
It often seems to me as though I run to and fro in useless effort with-
out accomplishing the coiirtesies — — certainly without doing constructive
scientific work. But perhaps that is just a part of youth, c<nd of work-
ing in a section where so much of the basic routine work in the way of
library and material accession still remains to be done. In any event,
accept my keen appreciation of the papers.
After I saw you, I had my good old Scotch guide with
me in Cleveland, and his belief as to local Indians checks exactly with
the data you send. The LUk-maks still live at Bathurst and Restigouche,
and in his belief alv/ays Kave. In summer they formerly ranged up the
Nipisiguit and across the "Carry" to Tobique, so my careless title
apparently was justified after all. Another tribe, of v/hich the remnant
still lives at Tobique Point, ranged up the Tobique in summer. They
were apparently a vfeaker tribe, however, so the headwaters v/ere doubtless
llik-mak summei'ing groiinds. He is to check up for me the stock of this
second tribe, from the siurvivors.
My next work is the Laysan trip for Dr. Nelson.
That v/ill take till mid- June. After that, I expect to be on the job here,
so if any rancher ias call you to southern California this summer, do let
us know in advance and set some time aside for us. If not, we may look
in on ^'ou at Lagunitas.

Uy dear Dr. Merriam:
Florence and I have wondered several tines since
our happy afternoon in your home last spring in Washington whether the
Kerriams were ever properly thanked for their large share in our hos-
pitable welcome to the capital last year. If not, you must blame the
case of flu which Florence picked up on the last part of our lecture
trip, and further blame our almost immediate departure, after we reached
Pasadena, for Honolulu, whence I jumped off with the Survey expedition
to Laysan.
This Laysan experience was one of the most fas-
cinating of my field career. The rabbits had done their worst on the
Island, effecting an ecologic change in a short ten years such as or-
dinarily occxirs only in many thousand years. There was no green thing
left save two palms, an iromvood bush, some tobacco plants that had
grown wild, and Sesuvium about the central lagoon. The Miller Bird
had already passed, and Himatione freethi became extinct under our
'^ery eyes, bixt luckily not until I had recorded it with the motion
picture camera. It was a romance with more than a bit of tragedy in
it to see thds rapid ecologic change, but interesting beyond words.
and to live in the midst of such a great colony of sea birds, so
utterly devoid of fear, was an unique experience.
Since our return, we have been expecting to get
to San Francisco and therefore hoped to look in on you at Lagunitas.
Our northern trip is now deferred until November, and we are therefore
keenly in hope thsrt you will plan to come through Pasadena on your way
East this fall and give us the privilege of having you v/ith us in our
home for a couple of days at very least. The two Dickey households may
parcel you out a bit, fol: there is the keenest rivalry as to v^here you
are to bunk, but that will be decided before you get here, so that you
will be saved the family row over who is to have the pleasure of having
you. The collections here have grown to some 24,000 specimens, and in
consequence many problems are arising that are utterly beyond the scope

of a grizzly skull from the Monterey country to show you (although I

Have you not a photograph of yourself that I could have to match the
good one of Mr. Ifuir? You know I have always associated you two and

My dear Dr. Merrianif-
I fear that in the haste and excitement of the
holiday season I failed to acknowledge your prompt kindness in re-
questing the United States Geographic Board to send me their Reports
of decision^. In compliance with your request, l!r. McComick promptly
forwarded me the 5th Report, together with a Supplement, containing
decisions up to June 1, 1923. These have been acknowledged to
Vs. McCormick, but I wanted to express my personal appreciation for
the trouble you took in the matter.
I -was quite worried a few days ago to learn that
Mr. Prank Stephens had been knocked from his bicycle by an automobile,
and taken to the receiving hospital in San Diego, unconscious. However,
a note and some specimens of Thomomys bottae puertae came in from him
yesterday. He made light of the experience, and apparently got off more
fortunately than could have been hoped.
After a full holiday season, we are settling down
to a last month of routine curatorial work before I leave, the first of
February, for a hurried three weeks business trip to Dubuque, It will
be impossible for me to come on to Washington, as I had hoped, so I
shall be forced to look forward to catching the Merriams en route West,
or at Lagunitas, in case we get North next summer.

My dear Dr. Merriam:
It TTas more than good of you to remember my request
for one of your photographs through all these months. I found it await-
ing me as one of the feir bright spots in a mass of letters, etcs, rrhich
had accumulated during a recent second hurried trip to the lliddle West.
As I told you when I had the temerity to ask for it, I always associate
you and Mr. Muir so closely and so definitely in mind with that first ex-
perience of mine in the Sierras, which I always feel cast the dye for me
in directing my life interests into natural history channels, that I want-
ed you on my wall, together. As I say, it was good of you to remember
me. Rest assured the photograph is keenly appreciated.
My own winter has been so broken with the two trips
since Febr\xary first, to the lliddle West, and vdth certain outside
activities here, that it is hard to believe that the spring has rolled
around and that presumably you are turning soon toward good old Lagunitas.
But, the rush of migrants through our yard proves the point beyond per-
adventure.. If, by chance, you are to come west by way of Pasadena, do
not fail to stop for the night with us.
I am wondering whether the hoof and mouth disease will
interfere with your field work this summer. There is so nuch hysteria in
regard to it here in southern California, and so little honest scientific
precaution that it makes field work almost impossible in the southern parts
of the state at the moment. Van Rossem and I had counted on a precious
week in the field, chasing red-wing colonies, since we are at work on the
group and since my long indoor grind, - which stretchep ahead of me for ^t
least another year - is beginning to pall. Because of the present condi-
tions, however, we have given it up for this year. Instead, I may steal a
week on Los Coronados, just as a vacation.
Thanking you again for the photograph and also for the
elk separate, which came safely to hand, and which has been added to our
files, I remain

My dear Dr. Merriani:
All too many weeks have passed since the Geographic bird
book arrived one morning in the mail, with your card enclosed.
1 keenly appreciated your thought of us and had it in mind to
get off a prompt reply, but you know how things of that sort go,
and my schedule these past weeks has been particularly crowded,
what with ranch development, my oim little organization routine,
and the amplifying of the general program and budget for vertebrate
zoology at the Institute. The latter is coming along slowly but
so surely that I think you would be happy over the situation.
I find the financing end of the game particularly trying, since
something was left out of my nature that apparently is essential
if one is to do that sort of thing easily, but after all it is the
success and not the ease v;-ith which the job is put through that
matters, and I hope within another month to have our little section
budgeted and endowed on a broader basis, so that we can make our
work a bit more effective IhRn ^vhen I tried to carry the burden
largely unaided.
I have just received from the tanner a grizzly skin with
skull from the head of the Distna River, Takotna, Alaska. I
would, of course, be keen to have you identify this ^ ecimen in
comparison with the material you have in Y/ashington, but before
sending it on to you I am writing this line to make sure that by
so doing I was not putting an unfair burden/&Qisance on you. In
other words, do you have enough routine identifications o: bear
so that ycu slip down to the Museum anyv/ay, once in a while, and
go over bear • material. If you do, I will forvmrd this specimen
and ask you to routine it through the next time you happen to be
doing the same thing for others, but I don't want to feel that you
are making a special job of it, in view of the mass of other stuff
you are carrying, and in view further of the fact that your work
with the bears is largely set aside for the moment.
With warm personal regards to Mrs. Merriam and the hope that
you have all escaped the flu and are having a happy and effective
winter, I am

I apparently bothered you prematurely with regard
to Diahna bear oaterlal, sinoe the alcull of the bear I wrote
you of and which I had not seen before it went to the oleaner
now proves to be that of an imnature male without well enough
developed characters to make a satisfactory determination
possible^ I iiTiagine, Its basilar length of Hensel is only 250

in that section interested in keeping his eye out for material
for me, however, so we will hope to get good adult material
later to help in that part of the Alaskan picture*

Vty dear Dr. Iferriam:
It was 8 0 good to see your signature again
that I should long since have acknowledged your letter of Deceniber 1,
if only to wish you all well and express the Dickeys' regret that
it has already been too long since we have seen the Merriams.
However, the press of holiday odds and ends,
and an unexpected long month's loaf I took with the family on a
ranch near Palm Springs prevented my earlier reply.
I was particularly interested in your paragraph
with reference to the scattering Nevada work we have done. As I
remember it, you were instrumental in a thought I once had of throw-
ing the full force of our group effort here into a serious state-
Ydde Nevada job. At the time, however, Grinnell was also interested
from a piecemeal standpoint, and the Survey felt that their early
material would lead to a thorough job, so we turned southward, except
for the sporadic work that Burt and van Rossem of our group here
have done in the Charleston's and other scattered ranges in southern
Nevada, which we wanted to reconnoiter and tie in with our V,liite
Moiintain, Arizona, and Rocky Mountain matex'ial. Burt and van Rossem
are now in Mexican waters on an unexpected field trip for a couple
of months, but on their return in early February, I imagine I will
shoot van Rossem back into southern Nevada to see what the heavy
snow pack to the north and west has brought dovm this winter.
I am years overdue for several consecutive
months of work in Washington, New York, and Cambridge, and I wish
I could be sure of seeing you there before you start V<est, but
present poverty, silly probate routine, and a physical crash that
had promised a year or so ago to be as lively a one as m^' smash of
•22, will probably further delay my coming East. Meantime I am
thoroughly enjoying being back at the desk, even though on a somewhat
limited schedule, and despite the further fact that I am rattling
around in an empty house as a widov^er, while Mrs. Dickey and the boy
frisk about on the desert, and throw off splendidly the last of a
rotten sinus condition and the aftermath of poliomyelitis.
Hy wannest personal regards to Mrs. Merriam
and yourself, and remember me to Zenaida when you write.

Vly dear Dr. Merriam:
Your letter of February 3rd, was awaiting me on
my return from another vacation spree of a week or so with the family
near Palm Springs. It is a delight to learn that you contemplate
working again the Palm Springs Indians during the coming spring, for
I have already waited hopefully for a number of years against the day
of your coming back to work again with our Southern California Indians.
As a Ford driver I am not to be sneezed at in spite of ray long legs
and it would be a delight if I could tote you about a bit or tag along
and talk mammals and birds between Indian stops. Don»t fail to let
me knov^ in advance when your plans crystallize and when you expect to
be down our way.
The "ranch" I spoke of is not the sort of place
that word calls pleasantly to your mind and mine, but is instead one
of these newfangled ".vinter "dude ranches" which serves the purposes
of Mrs. Dickey and the boy admirably, but which I would not myself
choose as a base to work out from seriously. You will not recognize
the simple little old Palm Springs you and I knew and loved, for the
place has "gone Hollywood" to an astonishing degree to meet the tourist
travel the good highways have brought to it. However, in the develop-
ment a number of modest apartment and cottage courts have sprung up,
and if I intended to base on Palm Springs for serious work I think I
would find something of that sort to den up in at night, use the
several cafes, etc., for meals when I happened to be in town and thus
have more freedom of movement and less monkey business than in the
somewhat social atmosphere of a dude ranch run on the .^erican plan
with meals at set hours, etc. Because of financial conditions none of
the places on the desert have been full this year so it should be easy
to get almost anything you want. On the other hand, the heaviest rains
of a decade will result in an unusual wild flower display the end of
March, which may draw enough additional visitors to fill things up.
Even so, however, they will for the most part be casual week-endors.
For work with the Indians farther south in the Goachella Valley, I am
told the hotel at Indio is now clean, well-run and inexpensive.
I had heard of the fine grandson with the keenest
interest, but the Talbots» transfer from Santa Fe to Berkeley had not
registered with me if I had heard it. Hovf splendid that they are so
close to Lagunitas.
Ver^"- sincerely yours.

Dear Dr. Merriam:
Your brief line of March 14 convinces me that
either your liver vj-asn't v/orking that morning, or that you were struggling
with your income tax return. No lesser evil could have prompted you
on that day to misconstrue my "extreme brevity" into an inference of
disagreement. It is just another of the legion examples of the danger
of the brief written line, and jumping to false conclusions therefrom.
The truth of the thing is thrt the Roosevelt
address referred to probably fell on no more receptive or appreciative
ears than mine in the v/hole cock-eyed world. In the first place, such
work as I have done, looking tovmrd the gathering of "tools" (library
and material) for the future vforkers in the scientific center of
Southern California, has been founded on one sole premise. That premise
has been that the "observational" (as contrasted with "experimental")
attack on natural history in the field and in the laborsttory must
go on if human knowledge and biology as a whole are to be rounded out
intelligently.
I am always perfectly ready to adm.it to Morgan
in our o^^vn group here, or to anyone else, that the percentage of return
per unit of effort expended may be less in the future, as between
observational work v/ith forms evolved in nature, and experimental work
in producing new forms in the laboratory under artificial conditions
and studying them with a microscope, etc. But at the same moment, I
alv/ays contend that this a controversial matter — with only a
problematical prognosis possible — and that I am therefore not interested
in such discussions. Vifhat I am interested in, and v/hat I cling to
tenaciously, is my premise th'a^ there is and will be a profitable return
from a continuance of the observational and investigational m.ethod of
attsck unon both birds and mammals, both in the field and laboratory''.
As long as man remains man, and continues to be interested in any phase
of the environment about him, such work on one or another aspect of its
CALIFORNIA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY
to: Dr. Merriam;
PAGE:
date: March 22,1932
many ramifications will continue to be thoroughly worth while, and
yie? ' a profitable return, if intelligently done.
From the other angle, I have alv/ays been too
great a hero-worshiper of Roosevelt, and too thoroughly cognizant
of his knowledge and of his attitude, to do anything except shout
with glee at your presentation of the man and of his knowledge and
of his attitude.
Next time don't 'infer*' anything from the
"brevity" of what I write except that I am probably writing in a
crowded moment, and I will do the same by you. All that I intended
by my note was to thank you instantly for your thought of me in
sending me a reprint in which I was thoroughly interested. I have
amnlified myself in this letter just to show you that that interest
was aroused in an individual who agreed with your viewpoint as
thoroughly, if not more thoroughly, than anyone you could la^' hands
on in the world.
"iVhen are you coming V/est? The family is
moving up from Palm Springs to our ranch in the OJai about April 7,
but I will be in or near Pasadena all of Anril.

In response to nunerous inquiries
the Geologioal Survey has undertaken to prepare geologic
railway guide books in the fom of Survey bulletins for
free distribution of the three oldest transcontinental
railways, the Northern Pacific, the Union Pacific, and
the Santa Fe. The Shasta Route from Seattle to Sac-
ramento and the Coast Route from Los Angeles to San
Francisco have been assigned to ne.
The guide books will include a geologic
map of the Railroad belt but will be limited generally
to what may be seen from the train. I «„ now gather-
ing data for the framework of the volume I an to prepare
before going into the field to travel over the route.
You are familiar with both the Coast
Route and the Shasta Route, especially about Lit. Shasta.
I have your Biological Survey of Mt. Shasta for study and
reference. I shall thank you very much to call my at-
tention to matters of greatest interest and importance to
the intelligent traveler. The zonal arrangement of the
2. Hart Ilerriam --2
fauna and flora comes in that class I suppose. Lumbaring
has been the great industry of that region in recent years*
What a strong contrast between the floras and faunas of Ht.
Shasta and Shasta Valley.
Tell me any important facts about the Indians,
their arts, history, wars, etc. Much attention cannot be
given to such subjects but I wish to mention them and to re-
fer to such works as yours for detail and more ample infor-
mation.
Please find inclosed slips of paper on which
to send information so that each subject may be filed in its
appropriate place. Please sign the communications, for I
desire to give full credit for all information used. The
favor of an early reply will bo greatly appreciated.
Very sincerely yours,

Dear Sir
Tour letter relative to brown bear la at hand and
I will gladly tell you what little we were able to find out about
thei during our stay near Deiarcitlon Polntiin 1913-1914.
I presuie that the spec lien that MUter si^t in was the one that
John Heard secured at a point opposite the west end of Barter Id.
about the 20th of Aug.1913. We were laying a line to a large ice floe
about two tiles offshore|as the ice was so thick off Barter Id. that we
could lake no headway; when one of the boys went to the crows nest with
the glasses to see if he could sight any gaie.He spied thisjbear on the
beach lear an old iglocjbut on account of its light looking colorjtook
it to be a polar bearjand reported it as such. The bear was hunting for
ground squirrels and was shot only a few rods fron the beach. The
leat of this bear seeied to le to be the best of all the leat that we
had during our entire trip. I kept the aeasureients in ly note book
which has now gone to Thayer.
This bear^was the lightest colored of tii the skins that I saw
altho two other light colored skins were seen. The natives use these
bear skins extensively for doors to their tents and Igloos so I had
a chante to exaiine between 15 and 20 8kinfi|B0st of which were probab-
ly killed between^erschel and Flaxian Ids. and probably within 50 miles
of the coast.
An old bear with two yearling cubs was shot during Oct. 1913
at a poinA about 25 liles west of Demarcation Point. These bears were
killed soit 15 or20 miles inland by,natlves but I was never able to
secure the skulls as the natives and dogs made short work of them.
I h&d t black bear skin with le that I used to sleep on and 1
found that only thoie nativei that had been over the mountains or
up the Mackenzie recognized It and they said that;f*'He no stop this
side lountain'^and I never saw a native with a black bear skin so
I think, that it is safe to say that they would be hard to find on the
tundra between Herschel Id. and Pt. Barrow. J donot know of any Brown
bears having been taken during recent years between Flaxian Id.and
pt.Barrow altho I know of nothing to prevent thei wandering as far
west as Pt. Barrow.
The natives seeied to only recognise one kind of brown bear as
occuring along the arctic coast and I did not hear of any large fori
back froi the coast, froi talking with Dr. R.M.Anderson and others, I
thought that the bear west of the Mackenzie were the saie or sinilar
to the barren ground bear found east of the Macken ie and around
Langdon Pay.
Soie of the skins that I saw at Deiarcation Point were a very
rich dark brown so I ai sure that the light color is not a character
that would hold good thru a series taken there.
I fear that the work on the ranch here will not pernit our going
to San Francisco before fall so I fear that I will be likely to Hiss
the pleasure of a talk with you
Sincerely yours

Thants for the chock. I think all the detail* y«u
mention can te chEiiged, aiid I will attend to them as soon
as possible. I am sorry that preliminary sketches were out
of the queeton at the time I made these drawings,-**- I had
no chance even to think of them until it came time to do
them.
I first made Kibbalakwe with wings, but finally left
them off for the sake of the ensemble. The thing thSLt looks
to you like a Sioux war-bonnet was intended for a bunch of
hawk and eagle feathers tied behind the mask, something
like what I had seen in photos of Pomo, Ukiah and Hupa head-
gear. How would it be to make Klimtooe without any himian
face at all, hie rabbit skin robe more cloud-like, and his
feet melting away into darkness? But this would scacely
leave him any human parts, and leave the reader entirely
guessing. I don't know what kind of a bird he was, but
imagined hlra something like an eagle. I would be glad to
have your ideas on these points bafore making final changes.

Dear Doctor Merriaa;-
I was Indeed sorry to ha?e ajiesed
you in Washington. J did not telephone yoa in advance, as oay tiaa
was QBuch taken up, and quite uncertain, and I could not be sare when
I could get the chance to run up to see you.
At to "oit#aito" and its meaning, I can only say that
there aeeius to be a lifferance in our material. I have the foria
in my word lists both froi Xlaaath River and Siletz.I have no rea-
son to regard it as wrong, since I have other words for "up streaai"'^
These are consistently used in my texts. I have not the tine to
look through the texts for the use of "okwaxto".
As for phonetics, the vowels used are the ordinary con-
tinental sounds of the several letters, the uaolauted letters have
approximately the sounds of the saie tn Seraan. The a and ia are
exactly as in English, ^ stands for the sound of aJi in "shut".
In the matter of the Census publications, I fancy they
should be referred to as"0. 3. Census. " F^or the Circular issued in
April 1913 "Special Instructions etc". I have no responsibility, as
I had nothing to do with the material until it was collected. For
the spellings in the other two publications I arc responsible, and

tear Eoctor Merriani:
I hope you Eoay be able to get more
information on the New Piver Shasta. I can only say that the
naterial I obtained was frcin "Euck Kid's ffiother" and that she
and all others frooD whom I secured inforcDation at that time, were
consistent in stating positively the facts as I gave them.
Kany thanks for your paper on the Pit Piver Indians.
I have read it with much interest, and feel that you have given
us a good deal of valuable data. I do not understand, however,
your belief that your linguistic material from both Achomawi and
Atsufiewi is so "much more extensive" than mine. My vocabularies
are very full, and I have several hundred pages of texts - I very
much doubt whether your material is more than a fraction of that
in my posession. Ky material has never been published, since I
have no way of securing publication.
I note also that in your reference to the, to you? disquiet-
ing,special and abnormal" phonetic spellings in use among all those
doing scientific work with language, you have made at least three
errors. Since you do not propose to use any accurate phonetic ren-
derings it is not a matter of any iiiOffient,but you might at least
have stated your "case" against all linguistic students correctly I
Ihere is no use in arguing over the use of hyphens, but I
m
ight simply call your attention to the fact that the major danger
of their use is that without a knowledge of the structure of the

tear Doctor Merriam:
In the matter of size of vocabulary
there is no doubt at all but that your lists nDust be far fuller
in regard to animal and plant names;! fancy, however, that for other
than nominal forms my lists are considerably larger.
In the matter of phonetic recording I think you have
made a number of mistakes in hearing the sounds, since you generally
write "ch" for what I and others who have worked with these tribes
always hear distinctly as "ts^.This mistake is a not infrequent
one.Ihere are a number of other cases of a similar sort, where
unless I am greatly mistaken, you have confused two quite different
consonant sounds, and sometimes omifcited sounds which are signifi-
cant.
The whole matter of an exact phonetic method of spelling
is obviously too complex to discuss by letter. Of course there has
been lack of uniformity, although this is now pretty generally out-
grown.Under any circumstances, however, the sounds were accurately
rendered, a thing which the Inglish alphabet cannot possibly do.
The three errors I spoke of in your fourth paragraph on p. 2 are
"tc for ch (spelling church, tchurtch) If you had thought a moment
you would see that your example is a contradiction. If to
en
then ch would not be used I Church would be spelled of course
tcurtc.
8 tor sh;- So far as I remember no one ever so used s. What
you are thinking of, probably is s , an obviously different matter.
ts for s;- this also I do not remember ever to have seen.Ihe
two sounds are totally different
One ffii(2ht note also, that you can't "aspirate" an aspirate I
oy^
\
(\f^jj^
put the two together as a "family" must rest on comparative studies
of both with Shasta etc. I note that on p. 6 of your paper you
say that you omit from your comparative lists purely dialectic
\^ V'^L!^^ forms within each of the main groups, yet in the lists you give
*>
a very considerable number of cases show merely dialectical dif-
ferences between Achomawi and Atsugewi. Your treatment therefore
is quite illogical it seems to me.
y
Fray don't think me hpercritical. I*m only trying to point
K
out that this whole matter of linguistic relationship is not as
simple as you appear to think, and that it must rest on much more
than any comparison of vocabularies, however large these may be.
Your aiundant and carefully checked materials are most
valuable and all students of the Californian area must always be
gratefulif to you for them. As I said before, I trust that your other
papers mill be coDDing out soon* You have bad the advantage which
others of us have not had, or have not had in anything like such
full measure - that of revisiting an area repeatedly so that you
could check up on data. My Achofflawi and Atsugcwi material, for ex-
am
pie, has been lying for nearly twenty years, awaiting the chance
which has never offered, to clear up a lot of doubtful points in
the texts
Best wishes for your continued work in this whole field
Sincerely yours

tear Er Merriani:
As regards the use of "s" for the
sound of English "sh",I hadn't happened to note its use by
9
Gilffiore. Of course the use of wholly unusual and quite un-
accepted signs by a single writer, who is not a linguist, does
not in any sense constitute "usage". It would be comparable to
an untrained naturalist using a new and unaccepted name for an
ordinary animal.
I think you ouite misunderstand me in the matter of
the "tc" and "ts" sounds. They are, of course, closely allied, and
are not infrequently interchangeable. I know that you have gathered
a tremendous mass of lexical material in California and Nevada, and
never for a moment should dream of suggesting either "carelessness"
or "inexperience" as the reason why there seems to be a rather con-
sistent difference between sounds as recorded by you and by other
students. Since two or three indenendent other investigators had
mo
re commonly recorded the sound as "ts" rather than "tc",I could
hardly help wondering if the difference was not due (as such cases
usually are) to your"ear". W.y own "ear" is none too good, and had
my
hearing not been fortified by some corroboration I should not
have ventured to doubt your version. The diiference is, after
all, not a matter of very great conssquence,
I am quite horrified that I should have written you
that I thought you %ere claiming to be the first to recognize
the distinction between Achonjawi and Atsugewi. No such idea was
consciously in my mind, and in view of the wholly explicit state-
ment on p. 4 I can't ioiagine how it happened. Its auite apallin^.
Uy misunderstanding again apparently in regard to tha
■dialectic differ5(nces etc" on p. 6. Your statement is perfectly
clear, and I certainly must have been very sleepy to have sc mis-
construed things.
There is always the danger of doing anthropological
and especially linguistic work, mainly with one or two informants
In the linguistic case the very obvious reason is that there are
very f^w good linguistic informant!, so that the investigator is
often limited very sharply. As vocabularies are the least im-
po
rtant material to be gathered, one has to depend mainly on the
u
sually very few persons who can and will give text materials
and grammatical data. Every investigator tries to check up a por-
tion of the lexical material from a number of other informants,
and usually does find similar individual differences to what one
finds in English. Such variations are discussed when treating of
the phonetics.
I envy you your opportunities to carry on your work
season after season. As I have had no chance to complete work
€*•
begun thirty years ago, and have had no opportunity to get into
the field for about twenty years, icy material consists in the main
of unfinished beginnings. Power to your elbow I
With best wishes
Sincerely yours

Ky dear Coetor Merrlan:
I think you don*t quite ander-
etand me in regard to'correctlng errors in transliteration* froa
»■ accepted phonetic into a soaeshat original aethod of represent-
ing the sounds which you use yourself. I cannot see that yoar practice
corresponds lith any of the acre usual schemes used in things like
Webster's Dictionary etc. Since, therefor, your method is in some meas-
ure mt least,one individual aith you, I do not feel conpetent to at-
tempt to folloa it. Doubtless, if I aere to spend a little time in
studying your transliterations,! could get the hang of them, but I
haven't the time to do this, when the result is something which will
be of no scientific value. No student of Shastan languages is ever
going to use a scheme like yoursjbe will be puaaled and aggravated
to have to dig out what on earth you mean. Linguistic material ia
of no interest or value for any one not a trained linguist, and I can
see no reason why data,intrin8ically of value, should not be presented
to a scientific audience in scientific form. In biology you demand
an adherence to accepted scientific usage, we do the same in linguistics
I am quite aware that many years of use of your own personal
6y8tem,ha6 made it seem perfectly reasonable. Your vocabulariea are
of great value to t rain ed.lin|ttl8tio_ students; they are of no value or
interest to popular readers; hence it seems to me they ought to be
2.
preeented in a form useful to the one group for irhom they have .eanlBg
and lvalue; hence my dielncllnatlon to take the tl.e to aid In putting
■aterial already in accepted form, into a fora in which it will be of
no use. r» afraid we look at the matter from such opposite points of
view that about all we can do is to agree to differ ! No one appreciates
more than I the great care you have taken in collecting your material,
and no one mere appreciates its value.but I simply cannot sympathi.e
with you m the form in which you have chosen to publish it.I'm sorry.

I have a note touching "The influence of climate on
the development of a species, and especially the influence of temperature,'^
hut I cannot get the exact reference to the paper in which you formulated
your conclusions.
I should greatly appreciate it if, without too much trouble, you
could give me the reference to the proper publication.
Yours sincerely.

My dear Doctor Merriam:-
Yoxk are certainly very kind in furnishing roe
the reprints and maps touching the geographical distribution as you
have worked it out.
Just at the moment I am confined to the house by a cold and so have
not seen the recent maps which you have sent, but which have been
reported as received.
You mention in a postscript your paper number 3, 1890 and number 16,
1899. I do not happen to have these and should be very glad indeed to
complete my series of your contributions by the addition of these papers
Thanking you again for your continued courtesy, I remain
Yours sincerely.

My dear Dr. Merriam:
April 26th, 1928.
I find I oould come to Washington any time during
the next ten days. By taking an early train J think I could
reach the National Museum ahout 10:30 and thus have an opportunity
to look over a series of the bear skulls of the same species but
of different ages in order to get an impression concerning the in-
crease in the size of teeth. If you will let me know what day will
be convenient to you and give me a precise day I shall endeavor to
be on hand.
Thanking you for your courtesy in this matter, I remain
Yours sincerely,

Dr. C. Hart Merriam
1919 Sixteenth Street
Washington, D. C.
Bear Dr. Merriam:
At the outset I wish to thank you for your courtesy
in carine for me during my recent visit to Washington and to
express my appreciation of the trouble which you took to get
the material for study.
I am inclosing a series of sheets which you can
keep and which give the record of my measurements. As you
see on sheets 2-7 the measurements for each tooth, right
and left are given in ea«h series. They run fairly close.
All the widths are put in one column and all the lengths in
another. The values in each column are summed for the maxillae
and for the mandibles, first, separately and then combined.
Thus we get the stmi of all of the widths and of all of the
lengths for each skull.
in the final comparison, sheet 8, these sums are used
when the totals for the young pairs are compared with those
for the old pairs in each series. This final comparison in-
dicates that in both '>width and length the teeth in the older
skiais give slightly smaller diameters than those in the young.
In the method of measurement which was used "wear"
in the older teeth does not modify the result. vThy the older
teeth are smaller is not at the raomen
t clear but the defi-
ciency though slight, appears in 8 out of the 12 comparisons
for width and in 10 out of the 12 comparisons for length, so
that on the whole two-thirds of all of the comparisons show
the older teeth with the smaller measurements.

Dr. C. Hart Merriajn:-
These records are merely notes which I shall file
away with the idea of sometime finding out why the older
teeth are smaller. At the moment I do not see an explanation.
Just one point more. On going over my records
I find that they are incomplete in three instances, in
Ursus Americanus, 48242, I failed to take the A - B measureraentC^Ti)
in Ursus Middendorffi, 119800, I also failed to take the A - B
^5S^) measurement. In Ursus Middenjorffi (the very largest skull)
I did not take the numhbr.'^^^^f it is not asking too much
perhaps Dr. Jackson could get me these data and so make my
records quite complete. The data, however, are merely details
and not of intrinsic importance.
Hoping that you will have a successful journey to
the west and a pleasant summer, I remain
Yours sincerely.

3icamined Americanus, Gyas and .Mlddendorffi • used two
young skulls and two old skulls in each series. Data on ac-
companying sheets. In width the values for the old skulls are
96.5^ of those for the young and in length also about 96,6^ of
those for the young.
There is then no evidence of growth in these teeth after
eruption but some evidence that the older teeth diminish in both
width and length and to about the same degree. Whether this
occurs ante-mortem or post-mortem is an open question.

Your letter of J\ily 10, enclosing statement of the Ban-
fie Id-Hull inger Co., has come to hand, and I will attach these
itemized bills to your account when it is returned with your
signature.
•
You need not apologize for the small irregularities in your
accounts. If this office had as little trouble with other ac-
counts as with yours, we could probably dispense with my servi-
ces; so you see, you are keeping me in my position!
I was very much interested in your description of the dcuagerous
mountain trail over which you have Just passed, and am wondering
what could have been done had you met another vehicle.
With best regards.
Sincerely youxs.

Referring to your letter of January 20, I have taken
up the matter of the reproduction of maps of California In-
dian tribes with the Geological Survey, fimd have made ar-
rangement by whi ch the money from the Harriman Fund can be
paid to the Survey. If you will kindly tell Mr. Kubel, when
you order the work done, that arrangement has been made by me
with Mr. J. C. ITevitt, Chief of Division of Accoujits, I an
sure there will be no hitch in the transaction.
I shall place Miss Miriam Holmes on the salary roll of
the Harriman Fund beginning January 1^, as requested.
Enclosed you will find a letter from the Library of Con-
gress, which has just come to the Smithsonian Institution.
Very truly yours.

Dear Dr. Merriam:
I beg to acknowledge receipt of your check for $125,00,
which will be credited to the Harriman Fond, on account of the
sale of old car*
I note what you say in regard to the purchase of former
cars, and from your statements, the only criticism I could offer
would be that you have paid too much personal money for your of-
ficial work, as I do not see how you could be expected to pay
for oars used for the rou^ going which you encounter in the
mountains of California.
I am enclosing a letter which came addressed to you this
morning in care of the U. s. National Mosetim. I am also re-
turning the letter of Mr. Durham, which is not needed for our
files.
With best wishes.

Dear Dr. Merriam:
I have received notice from Miss Lilian MoClain (to
whom you paid $90 for 18 days* salary for the month of
October), advising that 18 days is not correct.
Hiss McClain states that she began wozk on October
8 and continued through the 31st. If this is the case
(she being a monthly employee on a 30-day basis and there
fore being paid for Sundays), there would be due her 23
days at $5 per day, if she worked full time during this
period. This would amount to |115.
If you find this is a correct statement, kindly make
a new voucher for 5 more days, equaling |25,

My dear Dr.
!v!erriaja:
■"e ^lave been quite m unconscionable
time m reading "Myateriee of the Fore World" —
juBt because it is such bully stuff and so well
worked out that we have been trying to find out
how we could secure an adequate narket for it.
The truth is, however, that in spite of the fas-
cinating nature of sorae of these legends, and in
spite of the admirable manner in which they hare
been worked out, to havo not been able to con-
vuico ourselves that wo could sell enough copies
to make it worth your whila or ours as a popu-
lar book. I have become convinced in reading it
that there v/ould be a great chance for a book
for children, which would take a lot of those
stories and a lot of myths of other tribes, and
make them into what might almost bo called an
American counterpart of Grinni's Fairy Tales,
though, of course, on an entirely different'
basis. For instance, we are publishing a se-
ries of "Fairy Tales Every Child Should Know."
"Poems," "Mii;hs," "Legends", etc., v^hich has
been extremely successful, and I am convinced
that there would be an opportunity to use a lot
of such material in this way if it were prop-
erly directed at this particular market.
But of course I realize that tliis is
a very different schme from the one you have
had in mind, and your book is so excellent n

Dear Dr. Merriam:
Many thanks for ^rour kind letter of July
30, speaking of my pamphlet on "Dating Pueblo Bonito."
There is no one that I would rather get a
letter from on such a subject than yourself. When
I first went to Flagstaff in 13911, I stayed with
D.M. Riordian for a month. It was not so very long
after you had been there, and he told me many of the
things you had observed in that vicinity. There is
(especially one fact I seem to have associated with
^lyou, which I think was told me at that time, namely
j|the different altitudes of life zones of the east
'and west sides of the San Francisco mountains. That
became an important point in understanding tree growth
in different parts of the forest.
I am now writing up the climatic features
of tree rings and especialltj the cycles which they
display in successive years of growth.
With very best regards,
Sincerely yours.

Dear Sirf-
I am sending you some skins and skulls of pocket gophers fr4m Illinois
which are quite different ^'rom Geomys bursarius of other states, and, to ray
knowledge, have not received mention. I have taken a great many specimens
at Havana, Springfield. Li^Jcoln and Clinton in this state, and all are of this
same type. I should toe glad to have your opinion as to iwhether these forms
are specif icall> different from Geomys toursari^a, or represent me-ely a
local race.
If the animals are of Interest to you, I should toe glad to send whole
specimens in any numtoers desired, as I am examining a great many gophers
for cestode parasites, and have no use for them afterwar-s.
I am also ftohding two skulls of QeongsJ)ursarius, taken at Emerson,
Manitotoa, far nofcth of the supposed northern limit 4f this 8l)ecies,and
genus. There is a "colony- of at least fifty along the railway which parallelj
the international tooundaty line, lust east of the town. I caupht a half dozen
or more of them, tout a carnivore got into my toollection, and destroyed all
except the two. I fchot these might toe of interest "aa glvlng-.ome evidenc.

Dear Sir**:-
I am very glad to hear that the specimens of geomys bursarius sent
are of interest. I shall send entire specimens as soon as I make another
trip to the*r region, which will probably be two weeks from tomorrow. Since
you suggest stuffing with cotto^ and eamphor I suppose inmerslon in cot-
ton and campjior for a few days before sending would be ob iectionable.
I will send them as directed, and I hope th4y will reach the Department
in good condition. If any special method of preservation is desired how-
ever I have no doubt but that I could get the desired reagents in the
laboratory here.
As to the presence of the plumbeous pekige I will say that I have
taken within the last year adult gophers in Illinois, at Havana,
Lincoln, Clinton and Springfield, in epF*Mg, summer, autumn and winter;
of those less than a year old I kept no record, but the number is at least
twenty. Without exception they were of the plumbeous pelage. I kept close
watch on this point too, since I have taken the typical bursarius in
f6ur other states, and those from Illinois were so different that I kppt my
eyes open for exceptions

My dear Dr. Merrlam:
Many thanks for your kindness in sending
me a oopy of your reply to Tletoher* s criticism. I think
you have shown conclusively that Mr. Fletcher was decidely in
error in his criticism, and all students should be very grate*-
f\xl to you for your prompt reply.
I expect to leave on Sunday for Washington where I will
do some work in the various Departments, especially in the
Indian Department. I hope very much to have the opportunity
of meeting you, for it would be such a pleasure to me. I will
take the liberty of telephoning sometime during my stay, which
will probably be for two weeks.
Sincerely,

iLy dear Ur. Uerrlam:
I oannot express my dlaappointoient
and ohagrin. The first week I was In Washington I was
kept so very busy that I really did not have time to
think. One of our Vioe-presidents and his wife had gone
to Washington with me, and while it was very pleasant and
delightful, it was necessary to submit to many arrange-
ments of theirs. I was able to make only one effort to
telephone your home, and was told by the operator that
"they do not answer". Then I went to New York for five
days and when I got back to Washington one of my first
thoughts was to call you up again. Unfortunately during
a conversation with some friends your name was mentioned,
and I immediately asked where your office was, and was
told that you had gone to your California home* Ordinari-
ly I wo\ild not have paid any attention to such a statement,
but somehow or other I accepted it, and I am now so sorry.
It would have been such a great pleasure and honor for me
to have seen and talked with you.
I was, of course, very busy during the day searching
through the files of the Indian and State Departments for
letters of William Clark and Frederick Bates, our Territorial
Secretary of State. While I found very few of the latter,
I was most successful with the former. I made an effort to
examine the records of the War Department, but found it was
necessary to unwind considerable red tape. As my time was
somewhat limited and the prospect of finding anything of
vital interest was meager, I decided that it was not worth
while. My only regret is that had I remained another day
your letter would have reached me and I wo\ild have been
greatly rewarded by seeing you. I hope I will have better
luck the next time I am in Washington.
With all good wishes for a pleasant stxmmer, I am.
Sincerely,

My dear llkr.^.ferriam:
Thank you so -luch for the copy of your valu-
able paper which I was especially interested in and very glad to
get. I was about to write to you to ask if you would be so kind
as to identify for rae the *• animal like a gopher that lives in the
water" thus described by the Luisenos;and "The red gopher " men-
tioned in a Diegueno myth as living at the bottom of a pond and
gnawing the roots of the cane. Also can you tell me the name of
the bird called by my interpreter "eagle-hawk" or "kingbird"
y
chehamal in Luiseno,Pa-qua«ch in Dieguefio,very prominent in the
myths; and noticeable to any one as he sits in the tops of tall
trees sunning himself in the earliest rays of the surmer sun.
It is a large noble, looking bird, evidently some kind of hawk^
larger than any bird I know in the F/^st.

Did you see my article some time ago in t/:e Papoose on Manzanita
'/
basketry, a revival^ Mr.Luiwnis wished to take off my hands m^^ work
of selling the campo -Manzanita baskets for benefit of the Indinns;
so I gave it up to him; and ever since he has been publishing in
his magazine the account of his rescuing the work from false meth-
ods,designs and shapes, etc. whereas I do not think he has received
such beautiful baskets as parsed through my hands in the four years
previous. I could only afford to buy a very few of them.It breaks
my heart now to think I did not bankrupt myself and secure all
the important ones.but I needed the money for the Indians and sold
them as fast as I could here and there. In order not to lose them
entirely I photographed a mimber of ttem.The desi ms were purely
jTrimitivs as these Indians are remote from contact
the white
mans ideas, and had made no baskets for sale till I found them a
market, I learned the meaning of some of the designs; and if you
would care enotigh about it to take the trouble of returning to
me by registered mail a book of prints of these, the only ones I
have, I would be glad to send it to you to look at. Some of themr.
were printed in the article in the Papoose. I have always been
meaning to write up the T-shaped symbol which is on many of the
baskets meaning harvest dance , associated with dancing figures
and the same symbol as given in the Anthropologist some time ago*
as meaning that among the Pimas.But I have so little time I have
never done this, I sold some of tnese harvest dance baskets to the
N.Y. Museum of Natl .Hist.
The design meaning the marks in the earth made by the water of
rains running down especially interested me, as it is so unique; yet
one so often sees this in the hard adobe soil baked in to last the
i
svuimer through. Yet who but an Indian would think of copying it?
Mrs.Doubleday thought that Indian women could put their basket
designs into lace making. To me this seems manifestly impossible.
1 do not think an Indian design could be conventionalized, and
translated into an alien medium.That would degrade its simple
truthfulness. I was so interested in all that you said in San
Francisco. It seemed to me so much fuller and more authentic, the
results of your observations, that the generalizations of some of
the younger men. who are more in the role of beginners and yet do
not realize tne fact; but the spirit of all was that of sincere
seekers after the fact, and created an atmosphere very delightful
to me who rrrust live isolated from the work of others more or less.
This is a very hard cold winter for the Indians in the S.Calif,
mountains. I am afraid many of my old story tellers will depart
with tneir songs half sung and delig tful secrets buried with
them. I hope to go out next summer but am not sure as to funds.
Hopin^^ I do not trouble you, I am
Very sincerely yours

Dear Sir:
Dr. Allen, as the editor of the Auk, and the v/riter as
treasurer of the Union, have made repeated demands upon Mr. L.S.Foster
for a report of his sales and suhscriptions for the month of Octcter,
1900. We have also ma.de repeated demands on him for the balance that
he owes to the Union on previous monthly reports in 1900.
We have failed to secure either a final accountinc or the
balance due the Union in cash.
I suggest that it. would be wise for 3'ou to make a formal
demand on him for both of these items in your capacity as President
of the Union.
From outside sources I learn that Mr. Foster is in finan-
cial trouble, and if we do not secure the balance due to the Union at
an earl:' date I am afraid it will prove a total loss.
I also suggest that if you do not secure an accounting
and the balance due that you authorize the treasurer to place the
ma
tter in the hands of a law^'^er for attention
Yery truly yours >

Will you please approve each one and return them to me at
your earliest convenience.
There are a large numher of vouchers for discounts and I
have drawn them off on a separate sheet of paper; it will only he
necessary for you to approve the schedule.
So far as I have been able to I have this year secured the
endorsement of each person who has expended any money.

My dear Sir:
I received to-day "by express the package of vouchers sent
to you for approval.
On examination of the same I find that there are four
Touchers that you have failed to approve.
I can see no reason for your stand in these cases and I
trust that on second thought you v/ill approve the vouchers and return
them to me .
These vouchers are all for money expended on account of
the Thayer Fund for "bird protection.
The administration of this fund I take it is largely left,
in fact almost entirely lef t^ to the judgment of the chairman of the
committee and I certainly hope that you have confidence, not only
in his judgment but in his integrity.
I expended the small amount in question only after due
deliberation with the result that I thought it would advance the
interest of bird protection to purchase and use the books bought as
I have.
There is no question in my mind of the good results that
were obtained by these expenditures.
You must also realize that these matters are of a char-
acter that will not permit bf delay; in very many instances action
must be taken at once and I certainly think that you, noting the
results obtained by our committee in the past two years, should not
question the actions of the chairman.
I sincerely hope that you will reconsider and return the
bills to me endorsed.
y
With kindest regards.
Very truly yours.

My Dear Dr, Merriani:
Your favor of February 17th just
received on ray return from Washington. I note
what you say with re^jard to tne grizzlies. I do
not know 01 a single specimen or even a skull ot
a grizzly from the Plains region of this part of tlie
country. I do not have any material that will
help you oiit with either one of the problems which you
mention m your letter.
In lbb4 1 secured two bears at
the nead of the Fecos River m TJew Mexico. These were
mounted m the old-lasnioned way, with the skulls
in tne skin. I presume, however, that you have
specimens from that part of tiie countiy, namely, tne
region between Las Vegas and Santa Fe. These large
brown or grizzly bears v/ere common in that locality in
the vears ibbo to ibbb.
Yours very truly,

Dr. C. Hart Merriam,

Washington, D. 0.
Dear Sir:
Replying to your letter of March 5th re-
questing information about Furnaoe Creek Izin.
The enclosed circular, descriptive of the
Inn, will tell you much about it. It is operated
on the American plan, all rooms with bath. The
rates for single occupancy are from |9.00 to $12. 50
daily; for two persons occupying one room from
|16«00 to i^22«00 per day, depending upon your choice
of accomodations. A 10^ reduction on the room rate
is allowed all guests remaining one week or longer.
Our season closes on May Ist, but guests are still
accomodated in the best manner possible until May
7th, should they drop in on us.
Tou will find a great many changes haye
been wrought in Death Valley in the thirty years
since you were last here. The Indians haye moved to
within a few hundred yards of Greenland Ranch, one
mile from the Inn, and are quite civilised.
Anticipating the pleasure of meeting you,
and trusting you will not hesitate to write if I can
be of any help in planning your Death Valley trip, I
am.
Very truly yours,
S/enc.

Dear Sir:
I have been advised to write you and
inquire regarding the possibility of securing
a position as secretary in your department.
My informant stated that the position would
involve employment in Karin County during part
of the year and in Washington during the remairder.
My experience covers several years of
ratner advanced work and I feel capable of assum-
ing more than usual responsibility. I am at
present employed by the California State Board of
Health, on the University Campus, under Professor
M. E. Jaffa, formerly professor of nutrition at
this University. The department is in line for
reorganization and as tliis may result in transfer
of some of the positions to other localities, I
deem it necessary to make inquiries where I believe
I might give sat isfaction*
For several years I have been interested
In Nature Study, having pursued field work under
Dr. H. C. Bryant of the Extension Department; am
not a college graduate, but have had some class
work in science. I might add that I have
acted as Secretary for Miss Julia Morgan, Architect,
and have assisted Dr. Win. F. Bade in the prepara-
tion of his latest work "The Life and Letters of
Jolin Muir**«
Work of the nature in which you are
interested has always been extremely fascinating
to me and I feel that with this interest, I would
be very happy engaged in it.
Thanking you for any information or
advice you may see fit to offer me, I am,
Very truly yours.

Dear Mr. Barnes:
Yon may "be a. little surprised to hear from me
hut I wish to remind you of our conversation last fall
concerning hear skulls. You will remember me as the
ranger who took you over the herry patches on the Columbia
Forest.
You told me to look out for strange bear in this
country so I am sending you under separate cover a specimen
which is said to be a«eak the owner of the skull has
written the story which is inclosed in this letter.
As this specimen does not belong to me and the
owner did not put a price on it will you kindly let me
know what it is worth to the collector friend of yours.
If it is of no value to him kindly return it to me. The
owner has the hide from this tear and I never saw a skin
like it. Are having a very warm winter here, no snow at
K^vr^'.
Yeihr truly yours,
(Signed) Harry DeVoe

Dear Sir:-
In reply to your letter of Maroh 15th, regarding
box from Campbell River, containing skulls of cougar, black
bear, and marten, shipped to The Biological Survey, Washington,
by W, R* Kent on or about July 18th last*
I beg to say that we are holding a box here, which
we received from the Standard Transfer Company, which we
understand was shipped by 0. T# Laudry, Bella Coola, B.Ct,
which Is addressed to The Biological Survey, Washington, D.. C«
The box I refer to has been held here for the reason that wa
were not furnished with a Provincial Gatme Warden permit to
export* Hov/ever, I have to-day taken the matter up with the
Game Warden, and shipment will be sent along at once. I
presume this is the same one referred to in your enquirys
Tours truly.

Dear Sir :
We have your letter of January 29th and have re-
ferred same to our Delivery Department and will do the
best we can to make delivery as you require.
It is impossible to place any stated order at
this time for future delivery, as the order is dependent
entirely upon the shipments of coal to Washington. We
are therefore not promising or receiving any orders for
stated periods for any deliveries as we do not know if
we will be able to fill the same when the time arrives.
The only thing that we can do is to distribute the coal
we are receiving as equitably as possible. Inasmuch as
this is not any where near up to tne requirements of our
trade we are utterly unable to make any promises for future
delivery. Your letter has been referred to our Delivery
Department and we will do the beat we can for you under the
circumstances.
Veiy tiuly yours.

Dear Friends:
Mrs. Matilda Grief of Lagunitas has been very
ill for many months; is in distress and sorely in need
of our assistance. She was always ready and willing to
help any one in sickness and trouble and her kindness
has earned our gratitude.
As she needs our help now, let us give it and
be glad of an opportunity to repay her in some measure.
I am writing in similar terms to every citizen of
Lagunitas and ask them, to alleviate her distress, hav-
ing no doubt that there will be a ready response.
Please mail whatever contributions you may feel
inclined to give, within the next 10 days, and I will
acknowledge it by sending you a list of those to whom I
have sent this letter and the amount subscribed by each
of them. I ask your earnest consideration of this appeal.

Dear J>r. Merriam:
During your visit to the Coast last
summer it was with pleasure that you mentioned
several times your approval of the Auburn automobile.
Our success with this car was normal, competing of
course with the more familiar trade-majrk cars
well known on the market at that time.
This year Auburn has entered the highly
competitive field with an antirely new line of cars.
The public reception has been phenominal and at the
present time sales covering the state are running
next to Buick.
We are taking this liberty in writing
to you regarding the possibility of allowing us to
dispose of your Dodge Sedan. Used car prices are
holding up quite well and by carefully analizing
our prospects it is probable that a very satisfactory
transaction could be completed.
Your local Auburn dealer in Washington
would be glad to show you the various models. If
you decided to make a change we could have the new
car ready for yuu upon your arrival this Spring.
'^^^fl'*^i»g to hear from you soon in this
matter and extending our good wibhes, we remain,
Very respectfully,

Dear Sir:
The Royal Photographic Society of Great Britain
are holding their fifty- ninth annual exhibition in August and
September of this year. This is the only representative exhibi-
tion of scientific photographic work in the world, and the lociety
i^ extremely anxious to make it more international in character.
I am sure that you will feel anxious that American scien-
tific photography should be fully represented at this exhibition,
and in order to enable this to be done with less work to the
exhibitor, I have arranged to collect and forward American work
intended for the Scientific section. Photographs should reach
me not later than Friday, July 10. They should be mounted but
not framed. I shall be glad to know as soon as possible whether
you will be able to send anything, when I will send you the neces-
sary entry form to fill out. I am sure that some prints of
Indians would be exceedingly interesting
Faithfully yours.

Dear Sir:-
We have your favor of the 6th inet. and are sorry to
learn of your unsatisfactory experience with roll film.
The negatives enclosed show several conditions, some
of which may have originated "before the cartridge came into your
hands, while others were without doubt brought about ir developing*
The latter are dark streaks extending across the center of a number
of the exposures and are apparently the result of uneven development
or fixing. You do not mention how the work was completed and we
ask for furth'^r information and also that you send on any other
negatives you may have retained. Conditions that are due to
manufacture we may be able to overcome, obtaining very good prints,
and we can assure you that everything possible will be done in this
direction or we will furnish new film. We doubt, however, if we
oan help matters to any extent where the negatives show uneven de«
velopment and fixing, but these might also be included. To avoid
misunderstanding, correspondence might be addressed in care of the
writer, who will give the uiatter his personal attention.
Regretting that you have had cause for complaint, we remain

uneatisfactory experience with roll film and asked in our letter of
Oct. 14th that you send on additional negatives with information in
regard to the method of development followed, etc. The dark streaks
which were very much in evidence were due to uneven development while
some of the other marks could have originated before the roll came
into your hands.
We would like to look into the matter further and trust
it will he convenient for you to give us details, also send on any

largements are desired. In looking over these films wefind them to
be of very good quality, and it will be possible to secure from each
a very satisfactory enlargement to a length of 8i". In your let-

are to be mounted on card, or if 3'ou wish them finished in the blade
and white or sepia tone. The cost of unmounted prints in black and
wMte or sepia tone will be 1,40, mounted on card 50/zf.
We will hold the order pending receipt of your further
advice, and would request that when replying attention be called
to this communication that the possibility of misunderstanding may
be avoided.

My Hear Dr. ^'errlair:-
Your ''Ind In^'^itation , recel^^ed this iiornln
n-ave me ^reat oleasure : though It also ?ave rre a oan^ or sorrow: ^or I
will not ^^ able to accept. I am ^oln^^ to tt>e ^eetln- of the \T)erlcan As
in Denver and can afford neither the time nor the money for any other tritj
It is a -reat onoortunity which I am missing and I fully realise it;but I
ha^^e promised to be resent at that meeting an'^ have also Promised a paner
vhlch is as yet untouched, so that you see It is not possible. I f*ear
that I am R-oIn^ to miss you all in consequence and that Is still a --reate
grief .
Our trip vas a ^reat success In spite of much trouble vlth the horses.|
^'e were too early for the flora of the higher slopes^but almost e'^erythi
grew at the lover ones and f ^ot a lot of interesting^ plants. I ha^^e had
time only for the shrubs and trees. I ha e "ritten an account o^ our
trip for the -lerra Club -ulletin and ha'^^e made out the list of trees and
shrubs vlth localit^Ies. -e ^ot some fine pictures and I ha^^e a -^ood one
of the ee in?' soruce. It seems to me that the sS^uee ud the^e is not
the Shasta Fir but Abies nobills. "e rot cones from tvo trees and both
were the same. Did you ^et ^ood cones of the Shasta fir? If so, I -^111
add It to the list. There ere very fev trees fruiting this ^ear and I
think that the only two that vere at all cllmbable and had cones were the t|
two frorr which the cones /ere o'rtained.
It is the roughest, vl Idest , and most picturesque country that I was
ever In and I lon;^ to f-o aq:aln. '.'e had to or^' li^'e slaves for we tried
to make the most of our time. I was cook and dishwasher as well as bot^
anist. I also helped take care of the animals "hi le t% men hunted for th
trail, "^ou will see the account if the Club will -rint it , so I will
vrite no more, hooin^ to see you ^efore vou return to vashin-t<nn.

My dear Dr. Merrlam;-
You see I have waited to acknowledge those maps
and now have three things to write about and will make one letter do tb
the work of three, I kept one map, and gave the others away to the most
appreciative recipients in you name. I ihank you in their behalf and
ijfiy own.
The next thing that I wanted to write about was you fine article
in Science. I began to read it without noticing the name of the author
and turned over the page still without being aware. However, I had not
gene far when I exclaimed to myself," This is sp*endid, I wonder who w
wrote it^' To my great pleasure I found tha-iyou were the author and then
read it with renewed interests
/hile I think thtt De ries has rearisoned from premises that are
not broad enough and has been disposed to give too much importance to
his conclusions, I know that he is right in imputing some species to swhlB
sudden creations. I have seen .many instances of it among great groups
A
of annuals here in California that I had come to believe in it long before
I had ever heard of De Vries. There are certain genera in California that
are certainly in transition and t he species are developing continually.
This is especially true of Orthocarpus, Eschscholtzia, ^latystemon, Pent-
stemon, Nemophila , Phacelia, and others
I want to thank you for the pictures which came today, v^ours is much
better than mine but the subject is a better one. I do not like the way

repeated message, beyond fifty times the sum received lor sending the same, nor in any case for delays
arising from unavoidable interruption in the working of its lines, nor for errors in cipher or obscure

within sixty days after the message is filed for transmission. In any event this Company is not to be
held liable for any loss or damage, or for delay or detention, or errors caused by storms or action of the
