PLEASE NOTE:

Letterpress copybooks consist of bound

volumes of tissue paper onto which outgoing

letters are copied by transfer of inl< through

direct contact with the original using moisture

and pressure. This process may produce

variations in quality or defects including

extremely weak or heavy imprints, smearing

J

and double images. These defects may in

turn be reflected in the microfilm.

Page numbering may appear in

reverse on some pages of this volume

Some pages may be missing from the

original, or the pagination may be

inconsistent. Film has been reviewed to

insure completeness.

Juno 10, 1897.

iir. Outram Bai^gs,

Boston, Mass.
Dear Bangs:

Your letter of the 8th inst. ctune a day or two ago. aioiv, with
the Sn,i ,^ nrr^^ (^ manuscript and the palate and teeth f if-^ures of j^i^rft-
liA' The latter I sont to Harry Jones to have photo engraved.

The British Columbia fiyi^galfi we have a good series of. I nev-
er supposed that the animti! was different from ^fttifrnn^^. if it ig
different the case is very unusual, if not unique, for I am not able
to think of any carnivorous roamal which changes its species in the
8aT.c- kind of country in so short a distance. We have plenty of SaJi"
iimla fi-opi Oregon, fashirigton, and British Ooionhia. I will look at
then in a day or two to see if there are any differences. Apparent-
ly you have not hiad access to onoMgh specimens of mtrrrnr||; to make a
proper comparison with the British Coltnbia anmal.

t

The color plate of fi^aiapj;^ i^aLfiiit which T rot.urncd to you a
lor^ timo ago with the address of the lithographer, I see you /ave
again ret'orned to no* It arrived this noon, a^id I air sendir.-; it back
to you by registered mail herewith. As I A-rote you before, the Bio-
logical Society cannot assume any rosponsibility in connection with
this plai.0. You must have it lithographed at y.^ur expense, and send
US the edition of plates ready for stitching; then we will go ahead
and insert the plate and print the paper. To co.oiorr. with the other
plates in the volitne it shouia have the source, serial a^Aor. and
legend engraved upon it, us I have indicated i-i pencil, it will bo

0.B.2

plate 4 if it is done at once. At the time I returned the plate some
time ago I sent you Hoon's letter containing his estimate for the
job. As I remember it the price was $140. Probably you can do bet-
ter than this in Boston, though I m not so sure about the quality of
the work. Hoen's work is usually first class. It might pay you to
get an estimate from Julius Bien & Co., lithographers, Now York City.
If you tell them that you want then to bid on a facsimile reproduc-
tion, I have no doubt that you will get satisfactory results. While
I have boon bottor pleased with Hoen's work than with that of any
other fii'm with which I have had dealings, at the same time I should
not submit such a job to thom— if I had to pay the bill— without
first getting bids from on© or two other reliable houses. Hoen's ad-
dress is A. Hoen & Co., Baltimore^ Md. As it will probably take
throe or four weeks to got the Job done, it is not certain t)iat I
shall bo hero when it is finished. If I am not Palmer can attend to
it.

Very truly yoiu*8.

oase of the Texas mole described as a subspecies by Dr, J, A. Allen
in 1891 and raised to speoific rank by the same author in 189», dr.
Trouessart adopts a curious course: he gives it as a full species

»

wiuh 18iiB as the date, and then in synonymy gives the subspecific
form in which it was originally described, with 1891 as the daoe,
show 12^ uhat he was aware of i«he oorreot date. 01 course the

spt^cies should aate from 1891 —the year in which thf animal was

»jned— for the date on which an author happens to charge his mind
as to the rank of a particular form has nothing to do with the date
of the name. If this case represents Dr. Trouessart's views in
this matter, the inference is that he, like some botanists of uhe
old school, is a wor&hipper of one •combination*. He certainly
agrees with these botanists in spelling personal and soma other
specific names with a capital initial letter—in this respect again
departir^g from the best usuage amoi^g soolcgists. Secuicns of ge^n^ra
ana forms cf species of earlier authors are sometimes given formal
subgeneric and subspecific names, and names so given are oredibed to
the early author instead of to himself. Thus the section 'Cerco-
pitheoi Rhinosticti' of Sclater is made uhe sul?genas 'Rhinost ictus
SclaterS and Dr. Harrison Allen's •Var.(b) Northern form of Vesper-
tilio gryphus* is nade /Var. septentrional is H.Allen. •

^Dr. Trouessart IJHiil Hr the treatment of preoccupied namei^

If he finds such names preoccupied amcr^ iram-
mU fiB promptly renames them (as Soaptogale nob. for Bchinomle
Pcmel); hut if uhey are preoccupied in other branches of the animal

kii^dom he UtB them stand. Tbas the generic names TylostOBat
(P»1S6). SohUostoma (lijt). M^^rotua (itii). Itvataoina (14«). Puria
(1»&) . Yeaperua (106) . lla«aQeloaa..a (98) and many other, are
retainod notwithatandii^ the fact tnat aii a« K«o<,cupied and
replaee-i by otner name, nm in more or leaa oomnon mm. k ttm of
the date* given for genera are erroneoua. For instanoe Leuoonoe
Boie 'IS^^' should be A880, and Dendrogale ftmy •1848' should be

iB48. f£ototalpa is evidently an amended iciw of Protaloa and aa
euoh Bbould date from Prototalpa "Ropfir 1887 instead of

Filhol 1877.

MM of the TexM nol« described as a subspecies by Or. J. A. Allen
in 1881 and raised to spec if ie rank by the same author in 1899, Dr.
Trouessart adopts a curious course: he gives it as a full species
viuh ISS^ as the date, and then in synonyny gives the sobspeoifie
form in which it was originally described, with 188^ as the date,
•howii^ bhat he was aware of Uie correct date. Of course the
spdcies should date froa 1881— the year in irtiioh the aniii^wia
nsned— for the date on which an author happens to chaise his aind
as to the (ng^ of a parti oaiar fom haa nothir^ to do with the date
of the nana. If this case represents Dr. Trowssart's views in
this natter, the inference is that he. like sone botanists of i«he
old school, ie a worshipper of the 'oonbimtion*. He certainly
agrees with these botanists in 8pell;Li\g personal end soma other
specif io nsmes with a capital initial letter— in this respect again
departing from the best usuage among soolegists. Sections of genara
and forms cf species of earlier authors are sometimes given formal
subgenerie and subspecific names, and namss so given are credited to
the early suthor instesd of to himself. Thus the section 'Cerco-
pitheci Rhinostioti' of Solater is made Oie subgenus 'Rhinoat ictus
Sclater', and Dr. Harrison Allen's 'Var.fb) Northern form of Vesper-
tilio gryphus • is wade 'Var. eeptentrionalis H.Allen. •

^Dr. Trouessart ' UrtUI Tht the trAtment of preoccupied nsme%

If he finds such ranee preoceupied sam^ B«m»
pronqptly renmes them (as Seaptoeale nob. for lehinoeale
but if they are preoccupied in other branches of the animal

A

kingdom he lets them stand. Thus the generic ranes Tylosteum
(p»ie6), jgttiiostoma (l5i). Maerotus (168), Ifcrstaoina (148). Furia
(1S6). Teifierus (106). Msealoeioeme (M) and many others are
retained notwithstanding the fact that all are preoccupied end
replaaM by other nanes now in more or less conson use. A few of
the dates given for genera are arroneous. For instanoe Leuoonoe
•1825* should be 1880. and Dendrogale amy •1848* should be
1848. Pr9tota^p^ is evidently an amended form of Protaloa and aa
such should date from Prototalna Ro^r 1887 instead of Protalpa
Pilhol 1877.

The delegates he4 no power to reconoend ftomedial legislation,
their duty helnR to sofanit a joint report on the facts on ihieh
they conld agree as to the condition and habits of thi FUr-seala.
With these facts before them, it is hoped that the tvo goTtcnMnts
will find little difficulty in fnuniqg measures neoessary for the
permanent protection and preservation of the seal herd. Butt sutfh
measures involve the ultimate etitation of peUgic seallt^ is a
fair inference frohi the report of the expert delegates. Thiit Canft*

sea, will voluntarily relinguiah pelagic sealir^ without soiue off-
set or concession on out part, can hardly he e^^oted. The friendla
attitude of the two governmsnts as shown by reoent ewenta leads to
the hope that the whole matter may be amicably adjusted . In any
event, the con5)lete agreement of the naturalists taking part in thB
conference may H regarded as a triumph for science.

Prof. A. S. Bickmore,

American Museum of Natural History.
% dea)- Sir:

As presiding officer at the 15th annual Congress of the Ameri
can Crnithologista • Union, just held in New York City, I beg to
express my appreciation of your courtesy in exhibiting to oiir mto-
bers a series of colored slides of native birds, showinf recent
advances in methods of visual instruction.

Tne^o i^iidas are the best I have ever seen of birds, and the
plart developed by you aiid Mr. Frank ,M. Chapman of showir^ particu-
lar types of bird haunts--a8 woodland, .raadow and marsh— at dif-
ferent times of the year, in connection vith the characteristic
birds of each, is a decided advance in method over arjthir^^ knowj
tc jTje and crannot fail to be of great educational value in stir.ul*.
ting an int^jlligent interest in this much neglected field.

Respectfully,

Actir^ President, A.O.TI.

»ts are leas satisfactory than the firs *

and cannot be said to represent the present state of knowledge of

the proups treated, particularly with respect to American forms.

^/non^< the latter many synoiiyms are accorded full specific rank,

many pood species are degraded to synon^/nc, anl many forms are

transposed in ilmanner that shows an absence of appreciation of their

affinities. And idben it comes to the geographic distribution of

American species the most astoniahir^ inaccuracies creep in, as

might be expected.

In matters of nomenclature Dr. Trouessart seems to be a law

unto himself , and consistency does not seem to be one of his canons.

In usin^; Brisson he quotes the pre-Linnaaan edition (1756) which

has no status in nomenclature, instead of the edition of 176?;

while in quotir^ Linnajjys he takes the opposite course and uses the

12th edition (1766) instead of the 10th (1768) which is accepted

the world over as raarkin^r the beginnir^: of Zoological nomenclature.

With respect to Brisson's genera it will be interesting to know what

rules if any led to the adoption of l^rocho^rus and the rejection

of JMobaanus, Glis ant others. If all had been rejected his course

would have had the iqerii of consistency ana v/ould be defencible.

The generic name Trxchechus is erronously applied to the Walrus
instead of the Manatee.

^J? I\*^^^^?? of Glia It is stated in a footnote that the ffenns
cannot be admitted because T.inwws had previously instituted fhl
order i?lirej. and because Prisson did not use binomiai noraencla!
ture. The first reason is trivial and not in accord wlth^Sc^e
of nomenclature; the second . if considered a validobTection^J th(
author should have caused him to reject Jyc^j^cSji^ ^

Dr. Trouessart is mMmMp a most diligent searcher of the
literature and is to be congratulated on the freedom of his Cata-
Ibgue from omissions. ^Tost of the errors here pointed out are such
as are bound to creep in in an undertakiiig of this character and
magnitude, and the reviewer wishes it understood that in callir^
attention to them he has not done so in a spirit of criticism but
for the purpose of render ir^ the work more useful.

tM authority for the generic name Rassariscus is Coijes, 1887,

not 'Rhoacls,1894'. The genua Wagneria Jentink. 1886, cannot

not
stand. It is^only the same as Baasariscus but is preoccupied.

Thalassarctos Gray 18^5 la antillated by Thalarctos of the

sans author and based on the sane animal.

Lyncu8_'r.ray^l«26' (first printed Lynceus by Gray in 1821) is

antedated by ijynx Kerr, 1792.

The name let is Kaup. adopted for a suigenus of Weasels, is
preoccupied by Ictis Schinz,1824. for which reason Arctqgale Kaup
will have to s'and for the Weasels. This T have already published
in Science, (vol. V,p.302,Pei^l9, 1897.) and since ArcJ^^ale, Peters
1864 is preoccupied by Arctogale Kaup 1829, I proposed the new name
Arctogalidia for the palm civets, of v^ich Viverra trivir^ata is tht
^ type (see Science as above).

^sus pi scat or Puchercr |1856 and U. beringiana Middendorf, 1851,
given as forms of U. aret08|are based on the sane animal,

Ursus eitinonsi Ball, given as a 'variety' of U. amsricanus, is
certainly a most distiot species.

Perhaps the oddest error in the Catalogue is the transposition
of the Trinidad Opoasam Thy lamvs carri Allen and rhapman to the
Rodent genus tylorrrys Peters J

The subfamily heading:; Miffindgji is omitted, apparently by accidenti
and the resulting!: arrangment as piPinteri puts ffus as a subgenus of
OtomysJ •

A .single new sunfrenus is nam€ljj|^Microla^ua> It is based on
Lepua cinerascens Allen . a form whdib relationship with L, trow-
bridrJi is so exceedingly close that it is probably only subspeci-
fically separablq^ and yet Lv trowbrid^ii is placed in 4 separate
subgenus (Sylvilagus Gray) I

P. curious instance of persistent misspelling is the repeated
occurrence of Vernon Baileys name as Rayley, anl of specific names .
based theron as bayleVi. Similarly Reithrodontomys lacei is spell-
ed lacyi>

In dividing the work into parts it is a pity the publishers
did not end the second part with the Hamivora instead of including
the first 63 pages of the Rodent ia. In binding by orders —the
most convenient form for most uses---the volume on the Hodentia will
have no titlepage in front, but has one for the matter posterior
to the 65d page where the 3d fasciculus begins (page 453 of the wholi,
Catalogue).

"id reviewer is indebted to Dr. T. S. Pajmer for calling his
attention to a number of the errors in generic names and dates.

Dear Sir:

Your letter of the 8th instant is at liand, and also the last
issue of 'Shooting and "ishiiig*, containing an excellent picture of
a snarling vougar. I should be very glad if you will kindly add
this to those you mention, in accordance with your su^^estion.

I should feel more at liberty in asking for these cuts if you
would allow me the privilege of paying for the electros.

All of the Covgar pictures appear to be of the same animal. I
assume he is a oa^ed beast, althoiigh no cage appears in any of the
pictures. The legend indicates that he came from the neighborhood

of Leadville, Colorado.

Very truly yours.

be very glad if you will continue to do this, and have sent to my
address such cards as you now have which I iiave not already received.
I want everythir^ relating to .mammalia. jLiviiy^ and fossil.

T have just had the set of cards belongii^ to the library of
the Department of Agriculture examined with respect to titles of
papers published in the Prooeedir^s of the liological Society of
•'.ashiiTgton. As a result, it appears that we have not a single
card for anythlr^ published in 1897, and seven titles are lacking
from ol.X, published in 1896C«.^Jav-u«jA-Au45.

One of my titles which you are likely to overlook, and of which

*

I cannot send you a separate, is: The 'amnals of I'ount "asama, Ore-
gon, by C.I^rt Werriam <?.a«ama: A record of Vountainaerir^ in the

Pacific Northwest [published at Portland, Oregon], Vol.T, Mo.2, pp

Sont&ins: Life Zones of ?.:ount f-'asama [206-216], and annotated
VatsLlogue of tpecles [215-230].

With best wishes for the prosperity of your Btireau, and for

the continuance of your good health, I remain.

Very truly yours.

the former. ib-ere ar? no <icats. Slieep. or Moary Marwots on
Shasta. V;hil« ny fe^aly were in cairp -alley and I made niunerous
side trips in different larts of the State. The most intarest-
inf, arxl important of these was a trip across the rnajed and al-
most ixknown mountains of nortl^restern California between :^liasta
and the coast. V/e strr.ck the redwood belt near Humboldt Bay
and ,nade considerable collections, particularly of v'^tmU^

BvA outer coast ran^e nortlx and south of SanFrancisco Bay. Mext
year T expect to continue the same work in the southern half of
the State and hope to conpleta it so that I can r>ove on, the fol-
lowing season, either to the plateau country In Utah or the c^on
country in Arizona and .lew ^lexico. I wish you would lay yovr

The dwindling re(!ir.ant of this large rock, knov/r, as Ship Rock, v.'hose

ACT FOR THR HJgLIIF AND OITILTZATIOH OP THE
CHIPPF?fA DJDIANS IH THK STATI
OFMUmESOTA*.

In IBfiO, Congress passed a bill entitled 'An Act for th« re-
lief awl civilization of the Chippoim Ii;.dians in the State of Min-
nspota'. The principal provisions of this act i-my be swjined up
briefly as follo'/rs:

The segroGatica of t}:o pine lands, and the appraisal of the
pino t-icrfton, Iiavp been so impregriated vith frauds aiid collusions,
tl-at H. k. 107B9 was doultiess introduced to overooue tite evils
existii^t; vrnder tlie aot of lo89, aiid, as its author puts it, "To
give T,l»e Indians tne greater benefit and protection".

Ondur the act of 1889, a corps of ejcaainers was appointed to
exaiiino and appraise the Red Lake Chippewa reservation in Minneso
After the corps Iwl vcrke.i loearly or abo'Jt ten years, at six dollars
per dfli" encb, the pine and agricultural lands of tMs rAaftrvati/;>i
wer^^ c<.ld. And notwiths'^andiiv^ tliat over two millicno acres of
pine ro\d fv^ri-iwltnrRl Imde vere disposed of, tlie mcvnt received
fcr ^hci Tra.s j^/gronft mlljcy. dn liars less thrji tht* .<rr.fttiQ«>c i.,»

ci-.rre^I ur^le/ ^;ie_ af.t. rhich exi;en3ea ar« all reinbursable out oi trie
funds of ^he Ohippwas. The eipe- ^^es of +he corns ajid t^Ac comoen-
sation of t!ie examiner r were :Ju^t about tiiree hundred thousajid
dollarjj. Kx-0origre8i?>i«n Baldrin, r,f; Mirj-zesota, after consulting
with prornlnont and reliable land ezniainers, offertHJ to wectre a
ff 11, comr>lete and satistictory estimte of tJie pine iands en all
of tlie Chippewa reservations effected by the act, for tweiity thous-
and dollars, and to i;ive a bond for the faithful a/-d honest per-
fonaanoQ Qf the work.

/Y}..') exaituners appointed bf'tj'ie gtfverrBfieKt'- ^WAi' iHf^Wf^iX >er-
tail! traxitfi of land on tha roservation of Red Lake, liad 50,000 to
100,000 foftt of timlier eftclx; an inveBtipiation, Vv Insoecto]* J.
Gteorge Wri/''^ht of tiie Interior Den^urti-ier.t, showed that these amie
tracts contaiuij^cl from 500,000 to 1,200,000 feet cf tiiiiber each.

TJie Lispeotor had 85 fortj -itore traotf^ exatriinad l)y ex})ert ex-
aminers, and also had the trees )neaaia'ed on soiae of the tracts, aiid,
notv'itlistfindiiv; that hia report against tlie sale of the tinier under
the ap;;)raisa3 of tlie axaininerj:? vas ha.8od i?pon this ex])ert exaiiiiia-
tion, thf» sale v^as approved.

H. R. 10789 providds for the eale of CTnippewa timber uvider the
30-cailert scale system, arid thvs one of the most objectionable fea-
tures of the Act of 1809 is elioiixated. On the other har.d, the bill
jJTcvides for the continumice of the euix^loyjient of ejcaiainers. There
is no nec^Msity for thic, as one exaiainer for each reservation is
enou^ to provide for th# sagrefiation of the piiie landr* frora the
other lands of the reservations.

It is nece3«a.*y fcr the allotti-sa/^ents to exainii'ift t/ie laiids
Oi the rt:>86rvationa in order to allot tlie agricultural la>-ids to the
Indians, nrd t};o segrer,iitioa cf t)te pine IhxAs sliould be inade a
part of their duties, instead of appointing an additional force to
go over the saice work which is practically done by the allotting
agent 8.

Tlie iicst importmit provision of the act of 18?'9, that froii
which the Indians will eventually derive the most cenefit, is the
provision for allcttlr^ lands in severalty tn them;. in fact this Is
the onl% provision that assurfts them any perriianent benefit. For
thlb' reason it it of the ijtmoet liiportanoe tlat their rij^^ts be
prot.^t.^ aid t}mt -"he clause in H. R. 107c 9 which provixles for the
disposal of tl\o agricultural lari^ls of ti;o resai'^vatiio^i to hoiieetead
settleriant within four 5:ionttis be rtotterially modified, or stricken

OUte

Hils clause praetioalli' closes the allotejeiite provided for by
thfe^ act. Under ti^e agra#i:i4at ti 1669 between thi Chippewaa airi the

if the bill >.'kObau pase, vouid amount to a violation of the a^ee-
Lient of lc89.

Titer e is littlo doubt that the Indiajis vrould favor the. set-
tire aside of tU reservations at LeecJj Lake for ^ riational park,
but they have no Ir.tsreat v/r^Uvor in tlio reservation of lands for
forestry purposes. .If t]:e OoveriKent desires to set apart ai:y por-
tion of the roservations at Leech Lake as a forest reserve the Ivr-
den ol exoense Siiouid not be put upon the Indians; they should be
coi^jpwisated for the lands aiid the Oovernnent should beai- all the
«x;.eiirjes of protecting the lauds instead of chargiii^ t}ie saiae to
the tribal funds of the Chippewas.

Ifarch 31, 1902.
Hy Dear Grlnnell:

This mcrnirig I vras given a keariiig on tjie Alaska salmon ques-
tion before the Secretary of the Treasury, having bean requested
by hiffi to ffleet Vfr. Kutchin, Sp-ecial Agent of the Alaska Fisheries,
in his officd?. I was very zcuch surprised at Fr* Katchiii*s atti-
tude. He eaid in effect that siost of the complaints respecting
illegal fishing and the diiniruition of salmon in Alaska catue frcan
tourists visiting southeastern Alaska, aiid that north of Cross
8o\md there \Ter9 vary few complaints and the salmon supply seined
to He lnexl"iau3tible#

With respect to southeastern Alaska lie said that fully 80 per
cent of the salmon of tJriat re^don are humpbacks, and that these
"fish breed alon/j shore and in various places where the red salmon
ca:ariot breeds and as a consequence they are enormously abundant
ajad no amoi:;3it of fishlii^ has any effect in reducing their numbers.

Mr. Kutchin says that conditions have improved greatly durii^
the last yefir or tvro axid that very little illeg^il fis'ning of any
kind is now done In the Territory. Ha says no rivers are now ob-
st rooted by barricades, and he thinks the Sunday olosir.t'j 1^"^^ ^^*

will take advaiitage of this opportunity to 8trerigt,hen the meitfoer-
Bhip of the Club; • In looking over the field of notable men not
yet raeiiibers I am unable to iiame anyone who ir. ci:^' radjmrt, 7;c» Id sc
niaterially stren^^^^han our ranks. Pfitohett is not only a thor-

yfy dear Grlnnell:

The presBure has been so incessant for sorae time p<ist that I
have not been able to write you. I suppose you have heard frora
Kipp. Mrs. Merriam and Jfrs. Bailey have had letters fron Mrs.
Kipp which give a rather doleful account of the present outlook
on their reservation. In one of these letters Frs. Kipp says:

•The Indians are In a pitiable condition. They are receiv-
ing orders from the A^'ency office for extracts which they drink
and get drunk on. One Indian, Sar^jng, was found dead on the road
home with sijjis showing he had been drunk. Another Indiem, Slim
Tail Broky, is nearly dead from the vile effects of this impure
extract. Indian police and employes at, the Agency are drunk and
have been since the news of their father's death. •

I fear the Indian bill contains provisions for manv thin*^
that ou^t not to be, I feel perfectly helpless in the matter.

The position of Agsnt at the Klajnatli Agenoy was abolished by
a Seooate amsndmant but I do not know whether it was a/jraed to in
conference. I hope to know toni<jhfc or tomorrow. Tna Kf^nt at
Klamath, Captain Applegate, is the best and most oorai eoedi A/;en'i
I have ever known personally. He has handled Indkrjj ail his life,
knows them, and sympithizes with them, and they are fond ol him
am respect him. He can do more with them tnan any white man I

ever knew, it is dreadful to think that such men are dropped
while the drunkards and rascals are given fat places. I hope to
see the President about these matters in a few daj^. after the rush
of Congress has subsided a little.

With kindest regards to Jfrs. (Jrinnell,

Very truly youna,

G.S.P.A., Santa Fe Railway,

377 Broadway, Nev York City.
D«ar Sir:

Tauterday afternoon Mr. Fobs loft with m the accompanying
provisional itinerary for our propoaed trip to California, ^ith
re^iuest that I criticise it and forward to you.

Prom Chicatjo to Albuijuertiud the itinei^ary is entirely satis-
factory. Prom Albuiiueriiue on it is unsatisfactory in almost evei7
particular. It calls i-or the loss of two whole days on the Desert
in order to visit Laguna and the Petrified Forest. This is out
of the question and would leave no time at all for southern Cali-
fomia. A stop of two hours at Laguna and of six hours at Adanana,
both in the same day, would be ample for our purposes.

In case our party is not large enou/^ to justify you in giv-
ing us a special engine from Albuijuerque to the Grand Canyon,
could you not hitch us on to a frei^t, either at Albuqueriiue or
La^suna on the morning cf the 7th? We could either resnain. at Albu-
querque all nic^t on the 6tJi or we could leave on the 10:45 PM
train and stop at Laguna at 1:10, and be picked up by the first
frei^t that comes alon,3 any time after 8 U|, as this would givd
u« ample time for Laguna. This same frei^t if it could drop us

at Adamana any time tefore Z PM would admit of a visit to the Pet-
rified Forest the stiine afternoon. We would wach ratlier abandon
the trip to Petri iied Forest than to waste a whole day there. This
would enable us to reach the (Jrand Canyon on the 8th j then we
could l«ave the Gfrcind Canyon on the nhj).\t of the 10th or tirx© early
morning of the 11th. It would savo a lot of time if you coald
haul us away from the arand Canyon on the ni':^it of the 10th so
that we could catch a westbound morning frei^tj^aa this would en-
able us to see the Mohave Desert, or a large part of it, by day-
li^t. In case this is impracticable and you are obliged to haul
us over the Mohave Desert at nigiit, we should like very much to
have the privilege of a iialf hour or mi hour at Hesperia or some
other point in the tree yucca belt along the southem edge of the
Desert. Kb this is only a few miles from the suranit of Cajon Pass
1 thou^t possibly cur cars ral^t be switched off at Hesperia and
remin until an hour or so after dayli^t, and then he hauled down
to San Bernardino by a helper which mi£^t be v/orking in tbe Pass.

In any case we should arrive at San Bernardino on the momir^
of the 12th, which would enable us to visit Riverside, Los Angeles,
and Pasadena the same day. At Pasadena we want about ^OW* hours
for tae trip up Mt. Lowe. We could then leave Los Angeles at
5:30 PM and reach Santa Bwrbara at 10:20. Heraaining over nLfi^ht,
we would leave Santa Barbara at 11:35 Ail on the 13th, reaching San
Francisco at 10:4o H? the same day. Those who preferred would
thus have an opportunity to stop off at ?,»onterey for a day and
still reach Sar; Francisco by the nigbt of the Uth, which would be

time enou^.

Our i-arty is steadily growing, but I do not yet know how many

will go.

Very truly yours.

Dear CoviUe:

In compliance '.7ith your request of yesterday, I am enclosing
herewith a hasty menaorandum of the object of zoological vrork in
the Philippines I and along with it I am sending you a suinrmry of
the estimates for tiie expenses of the natural history surveys.

As no work of this kind has been undertaken by the Pliilippine
government, unless it be work in omitholo^ by Coninissioner Worcas
ter, there seems to be no fear of duplicating ariything they have
undertaken.

You doubtless made a note of Mr. Walcott's excellent sugges-
tion that the Director of Philippine Surveys be nominated by, and
respc^-sible to, the Board of Philippine Surveys,

Very truly yours,

Dear Sir:

Herewith I enclose a liet of the manbars or the Areerican Or-
nithologists' Union's eacursion to Calil'craia, so far as now knovm

to IM.

Sirxe ¥x. Dillard took the nianaeenient out of uy haride, about
10 davs ago, and put Mraself in corxaction with the individual mem-
bera cf the party, I h;ive not toiowi exactly whore we ere. Moat of
zhe marilers.l find, have been booked for PallnBn accommodations
through !.ir. Dillard. Some .however, do not knor/ whether they are
booked or not. I m sending you, therefore, a coraplote liet o
all vhc have signified to rae ti»ir intention of goine, and also a
list of those who would like to be quartered together m the same
car. in addition to this I have entered for another car several
who have aeked to be put together. aixJ ]iave left the rest blank to
be arranged as you see fit.

Some tiiue ago your !?r. Otto Faas said tiiat you mi<Ji- send a
representative to be in cljarge of the train from Chicago to Cali-
fomia, 6t;d in reply to my inquiry if he were likely to go, ex-
pressed his willingness to go it selected, i merely wish to say
that such selection would be entirely agreeable to us, as our deal-

IngB with !^. Faas have been verj.- satisfactory,

l€>ry trjiy yours ,

cent addition, Mrs. Hiiborn., ii the widow of a former aeiaber of
Oongresa from Califorr^a.

Miss Jrmy C. Watts, who was on a list I sent Mr. Nicholson
yeatsriay, iias learaed this raoming that she cannot anke the trip.
Her nw'W should he etricken off the list.

Recently a nuraber of persone have written and spoken to }t»
about the natter of bacgage, takius whether 1)as:^e would be on
trh© same train eo that it conltl be ^ot at. during tiie trip|Or not.
I }iave replied t:j«t 1 v-as unaUe to ar^ewer this (luestion, hit sug-
gested that bag^g* be checked to Albuquerque, '.vhere »e are to
stop several hours and would have an opportimlty to ^-et at it,
lleurl^ everyone socks interested in thi» matter.

Is Mr. Faas i^oing with us? If the road is goir<r to send a
pe}:re3«ntatlve from the East, Mr. Faas would be very aoceptalle to

us.

Besides the complete list of the party, so far as kno^sn to
ine, which is herovi'xh encloBsd, I enclose also a duplicate cf a
llttt whioh I sent Mr. ^licholson yesterday, with the party arrant'ed
by oars, as this is a very iwipoi'tttnt matter so far as the personal

to grant .you the ponalt you 'vantad for gefctir^ cut hif, tree stub,, for

blank itm of application vidoh I flued so fai- as I ms able to do
. 80, anc; asked hia to send it to you by one of his forest rar^rora.
Ke wrote me in reply that he would attcr^i tc tho matter. This vms
s-Tse zim ago, and 1 trust that it was done, and t>:at yc.u hnve aow
aec'orea the fence msterlais needed. If there ^s fu^ hitch, anci you
»-in let. ae know, T will try to have the matter straightened" out .
Probably ycii aaij get so/uo oni in Eshem Valley to write m.

'iocn after I got back froir California I tcld the Presiisr.t about
the wa- white r^n ha-o been stealij-^ laTids from Indians in California.
He fnlt very badlr about this, and caused the Interior Departiiiont, to

My dear Miss Audubon:

Thanks for your letter of January 50, just receiveii, I aiu giau
to know that yoiu-^. Sawyer is aii admirer of Fuertes. Fuer'vca I kno7;
very veil, having traveled with him both in Alaska aiid in California
and lievada. Ho is a generous, kind-hearted your^ iVnn, and I have
blown him to take great pains to }ielp youi:g men who wero trying; to
draw birds, and who, like Sawyer, were in neod of co»/ipetent. criticism.
If Sawyer would send a batch of hia drawlr^^;s to L. A. F^jertes, Irhaca,
B. Y. , 7 am sure he would recelv^i Mie most kindly criticiam.

Near the close of your letter ycu incidentally men'.ic:: sc^na
obaervafciona ycu rave evidently been inaliiL^ on inuskraLs. Thia om-
boldens lao to ask the favor of an account ot' -^hat you sarv. '.iar^i/ol.^,
you know, are io^r special hobby, nra I am ccllectir^ rjcateriti for a
work, which T hope to live Icr^; onov^i to lrir;e^* out, on tJicso of cur
country. While T carinot hope to make so attractive a contrimitiou
as did your graiidfatlier, I stili faol that oy brii^in^ tJie iiUDject
up to da^o I 3:iall be adle fco rxiako an important contribution. All
careful observations of the habita of antrGal3 arc, tho-efc-o, of mich
interest to m. and, as T saia before, I s/uil be iXi^ea*:.l^ cnil^;od 11
ycu will kiridly tell me wh^t you saw theae raiskrats ao.

Witli kina regards to you and your sifter, in wiiioh Mrs. Merriai^

I was confined to bed for a few days with an attack of grip, since
which I have boett completely overwhelraad with official work. Hence
the delay. As you y<nv»elf hare suffered from the same malady, you
will be l«nl«nt with mo.

The notes you sent are of inuch interest, and I thank you very

With kindest raigards to you and your aiater.

Ify dear !too86velt:

Ho, i had not haard that you had removed Bingenheimer. I am
Tory islad to learn thls^ But except in this case, where I did not
knofw of the cJiar#;e, I inust plead not guilty to your charge of In-
ecot:racy^

The test of fitness for the position of Indian Agent depends
on the point of view. If a man uuit \>9 a drunkard or a rascal in

«

order to be unfit, then I freely admit that Burton does not possesa
the qualities necessary for unfitness* But if, on the other hand,
as those of us who are stririrg for the progress of our Indians
maintain, a man is unfit who fails to coxaoand the respect arid estoem
of his Indiana, who fails to improre their condition and lead them
forward by kindly, sympathetic, and intelligent oooperation, or who
tyrannises over them and attempts to force them to accept his ideas
of cifilisatlon, then Burton and Ifcnteath are unfit. In the case
of Burton, you are already aware of the cruel and barbarous means by
which his hair-cut tl?^ orders were carried out by his assistants^
But your attention may not^haye been called to the fact that in the
mtter of floggir^ he (Burton^ offerea in evidence tJie rarhide whip
he had provided expressly for administering corporal jwnishaent, ajid
that his disciplinarian, a man named Co^raons, swore that in three
years he had used this whip lesa than I'ifty times, perhaps loss than
twenty-five tixmiel In one case, according to the testiuony, his

wr*«e. and as a rule th«re Is tic r<^^. Indiani bold enough to

oppose the tyrwiny of tHnlr Aptnte ai^ rf^ |irs*o«ted until life

b«cww8 a burcton*

Indians are easy toload, hard to d^U^, The Agent who is
kind, sympathetic, wd intolllgent. who mk^u an effort to under-
•tand the oflrtal attitude airi degree of development of the tribe

under hU dhAt^e, ai^ knows what they can do to oake a living on

earn his llvli^ wi*r the strangely changed oonditfons. Industrial
develcptflent is his salvation, tot It eaimot be brought about in a

day or a year.

I thiiflc that yoo win agree vith «•. therefore, that the question
pf the fitness of an Agent dapends entirely on the point cf view.
If an %ent Vhe adBlnlsters the biuH/ws affairs of his offioe honest-
ly, avoids druidcenness and raaeality* and makes his anmrnl report to
the Department, Is for these reaaMs alone to be accepted as fit,
however utterly he a»y fall to lataredt hiwelf in pr Improve the
condition of the Indians imdar Wa chanp.a, or however severely he
nay tyrannize ewr them, then It la waless to protest against such
oien as I have •eirtioned. But if the Qualities of patience, kindnase,
and mtelliffenoe. cimpltd with an aarnest dtttlre to iiSFow the con-
dition of the Indians and aate tbaa s«lf-»uppaytli«. self-respecting

April o, 1004.

j^- dear 3fc*. Banaeller:

Pardon my delay in replyirip to your lettor ci' *iarch 17, ^hich
reached mo duly. Since tiion I have been simply buriad in work, and
have had to let personal letters go.

!Ir. Gilbert is cbli(xed fcr your remarks about the japorj en tiie
geology and glaciers of Bolivia by Forbes, d'Orbi^n:;, and others.
He finds that he can obtain Forbes 's paper in one of the libraries
here, arii therefore vlll not trouble you in the matter. He is
oblif.ed, hcwere.-, for your kind cfiVr.

Your message to Mr. Grosvenor I delivered a lonp; ti.cs ago. He
^ill bo pleased to receive anj'thinR you are able to serid hira.

Your kind offer to give me an account of yo»jir cba crv.it io:.3 en
the condor I accept with avidity. Such opportunities a^-e toe rar«
to let pass. There is jw hurry, hov/ever, only please don't forget It

I am. greatly obliged for \rhat yoa tell me about Tschudi'a 'Peru
Peiseskifczen,* a work I have not thus far consulted, as I am fa^niliar
only with his 'Fauna Peruana.'

»frs. Mei'riam ani I greatly enlcyed the visit you and your gord
wife were kind ewogh to make us. The fnly trouble with it was its
extreme brevity. 'Rext tinio :'pu :4?t ca;.^ oarli.->r ar<d stay Icr^r^er.
Vt8. Jforrlara 'ras also much pleased with lira. BandolJer's letter. It
she has net yet replied to it, you will understand that it is anothw

case of good intentions. Our kindest regards tc you both.

tsry truly yours,

Mr. Ad. T. Bandelior, ^„' , «, \

American ?*i3eum of llatural History,
Hew York City.

flp. I forgot to reply to your inquiry as to the suggestion
that absents be icstructed to send a monthly report of Industrial
work to Jrfead. It seems to me this 'wuld be an excellent thii^; if
there is any ^vay of bringing It about, 'if arr/thi^g of this sort is
cov,te«.pla?ed, however, it sedn^ to me im]^raTive that iad should
first /nakojir^ur^i iff all the reservation, in ordtir to urderstand
the inaiJl^-l'al conditions and pcssibiliti'es. Othei^ise he will be

1919 Sixteenth Street,

Wa8hlpgt(m» D. C,

April .28. 1904.

Ify dear Pifofessor Ibson:

Owing to numerous and Tarled interruptions, chief of which was
the recent neetlng of the A. 0. U. Coamlttee on Nomenclature, It has
been impossible for ae to find the time to go oyer your basket book
to look for the corrections I promised to giro you. Doctor Allen
^went away yesterday, and I spent last erenli^ on the book. The
Tew errors observed I will proceed to mention. Some of those re-
lating to plate captions may duplicate those I gave you some time ^o.
Of oourse I am not attenptlng to correct such statements as you have
quoted from the writings of Dixon and others, but merely matters here
published for the first time. Some of these are trivial, as for
instance "Death's Valley,' near bottom of page 244. The name of the
place is Death Valley, not Death's Valley. But the basket in quest-
ion, shown on Plate 2S. surely never came from this region, as it is
obviously the work of the Ulddle Sierra Mu-wa.

P*ge 441. Under MariposmPamily you say: "Yokut ani many
smaller tribes, Fresno River.' Just wh&t this means is not clear
to me. The term Mariposan, In ny opinion, nerer should be used for
Indians, as it is a Spanish name, and Is the name of a county occupied
by a more northerly and totally different group of Indians. beloi«ii«
to a widely different linguistic stock, as you of course know.

On the same page, under Uoquelumnan Family, you say: 'Tulare.

4<s

Upper Tulare River." The term Uoquelumnan Family beloi^s, of course
to the Ifti-wa people of the Middle Sierra. The southemnost point
at which these people occur, so far as known to me. is at least a
hundred miles in an air line north of the Tulare River country.

On the same page (441^ you mention that the Dixon-Kroeber map
is based on Oranniar. I would respectfully suggest that It is based
on the Powell-Henahaw map, and that the inaccuracies and generaliza-
tions of the former are conscientiously copied in the latter.

On page 467. in the explanation of Plate 181. it is stated that
the looped stick held by Datsolallee is the stick •with which hot
stones are taken from the fire to be placed In the basket." This
is an error, u the stick in question is used |olely for fttrlnf;
the stones when in the basket, while the mush is cooklr^. ani is
mY9r used for taking the stones from the fire or retumli^ them to
the fire. Two separate sticks are used for taklr^ stones out of
the fire.

P^e 474, top of page. It Is stated that "the Inyo-Kern tribes
are all east of the Sierra-Tehachapi Rai^e, and the other group, both
Yokuts and Shoshonian Xonache, west of the imiln divide." This is
an error. The Ii^o County Indians are the same as the Shoshones of
this region, and occur only on the east side of the Sierra. Their
remote offshoots, spoken of as the Kern tribes, occur in Kern Valley
on the x£|^ side of the divide. The term liomohe is applied by some
of the Yokut Indians to fttiute Indians from the southern part of
Owens Valley, who in summer used to camp in Mbnaohe lieadows. In the
edge of the mountains near Owens Lake.

As bearing on the reliability of certain Information furnished
you concerning Washoe baskets and basket materials, I have looked up

sn

I'*

m

,' !*

m

0. T. M. .5-

the Washoe names for materials glren on page 466, with the result
that the name for the brake fern (EfeACidlUu) Is the only one correct 1;
given. It is spelled by your infomant tfes-a-weg-a-see. I find
that I have spelled it Hes-sah^vag-ah-sy, which is close enough.
But the word given for the redhud (flflcaia.)— "Et-ba-sha'^-is strains
to me. there are only two dialects of Washoe— the Carson»Tahoe
dialect and the Sierra Valley dialect. In both of these the name
of the redbud is Tag-goo-let (or -lek>. The naroe of willow is giren
you as Da-till-yah-wee. This is not the name for willow at all, but
Is very close to the word for 'black,' ihioh is Dil-yah-'.7e. The
lashoes use at least four species of willow, each of which has a
distinotiTe name. The name for the willow strands used in baskets
Is Tah-buk. There is also considerable conflwion in the terms giren
to the Washoe basketsC^ v1'>^vvjL._A.i*|0.

Tou have doubtless noticed the omission of figure numbers on
your plates, so that in many instances it is impossible to identify
the baskets referred to in the text.

At the risk of repeating some of the corrections already giyen
you for the plate captions, the followii^ may be mentioned:

Plate 64. The bottom basket is clearly not a Tulare, but was
made by the so-called Uadera County Uono.

Plate 99, Yokut woman sifting meal. The kind of basket shown
is not used for sifting meal.

Plate 184 is labeled 'Panamint.* The upper one is surely not
a Panamint. The lower one may be Panamint or Kem Valley.

Plate 185. The lower one is surely not Tulare. The same is
true of Plate 187.

479

0, T. M. -4-

Trusfcinp that some of these memoranda may bo of use to you and
that your new edition may be as free from errors as possible in'so
laxige a work, I remain, with kindest regards.

Very truly yours,
