Replyii^ to your leUar of August 11 fornarded from
la8hir«ton. Would say that I have written Mr. Sloana, Secratan^
gf the U.S. Geographic BoaK, to send you a coiy of the last

Report of the Iteard.

But I do not Jmow what reports ycu have reference
to in asking for those of Mr. Hildreth, Topographer, and
Col- Marshall, Chief Geographer of the Geological Survey, as
the Geographic Board is a wholly diffarent organization- The
better way would be to address a letter directly to Col- R- B.

Marshallt U.S. Oeological Survey.

Very truly yours.

Dear Mr. Sloane:

J>ardiB Suroraerfield, an attorney at Reno, Nevada,
haa written m askinc for the last T>aport of the Geographic

Board

you.

I Ih^Te replied that his request has been rbferr.* to
If you will kindly send him the full Report and the last

Annual Report if you hate copies to -i)are, I shall be greatly
obliged.

We are having a fine 8urn»r at lagunitas, and I wiah
you could drop in on us and enjoy the forest and cUn&te.
During warm afternoons the fcenaometer sometimes gets up to or a
little above 80" btit the usual maximum is in the neighborhood
of 70. The ni^t ten?)erature is very uniform, rarely varyir^
more than a couple of degrees from 50!

With best wishes.

Very truly yours,

Dear Sir:

HaYe you any reeord of an allotiaent on Trinity Pi^er

below

she laa told by an agent of the Indian Office named Rudolph
that she had been gi^en an allotment on the south side of
Trinity Riter about 5 ndlee below Junction and just above
Chapman Danch* It mgr be possible that the allotment stands in
the name of Meckel^ as she lived for s<x!)0 years with the

Ifeckel I'amily.

She is now an old woman about 70^ cind I have
promised to help kir locate her allo^.E!i8nt« The Indian Office
at fSashington referred roe to Mr* Mortsolf , Sui)erinfcendent of

Dear Sir:

Your letter of Aupiust 11 has been forwarded from

Waahint-tcn. I am glad tc know that you are thinking of another
hunt in Alaska next Bprii^, but fear it is beyond n» to tell
you jiiBt where to go with the certainty of getting Booe of the
Big Alaska Bears. Tliere are still a great mny Big Boars on
Alaska Peninsula, and I believe that persons who go to Port
Holler usually succeed in killing one or more. U L. Bales of
Seattle used to have a huntir^ camp there to which he took
parties every year. He is now an old man, and I am not sure
idiether or not he still continues in the business.

A. Hasselbcrg of Admiralty Island, vdiose postoffice ad-
dress is Juneau, kills imny Big Bears, and has taken many parties
on hunting trips. But he has the reputation of being personally
disagreeable, so that persons who have been with him do not
care for him. Mr. George Shiras could tell you more about him.

Big Bears still appear to be plentiful in the Stikine
Biver region. Capt. A. B. Conover, whoso postoffice address is
Telegraph Creek, B.H., is a good Bear hunter and has the reputa-
tion of beir^ a competent and agreeable guide and companion.

It might pay you to write him.

Eegretting that I cannot be of more direct assistance,

Mr. A, M, Robertson,

1^ dear Mr. Robertson:

You have nmw sent ne a bill for ^he two books
rfiich you kindly got for as soaetiiM ago-an address by
Dabn^ and 'Rocky Mountain Flowers* by Cle^nts.

Two or three years ago the Rererend Father Triana
published in the Hollister Advance a SM-ies of articles
•ntitled •History of the Old Mission of San Juan.* I hawe
tried to get a set of these fron the Iditcr of the Adf ance, but
he writes m that this is no loqser posaible. Re believes
however that the articles have been repubUahed in book form.
If this is S9, I shall be greatly obliged if you will kindly

Dear Pr»bl»:

September 6, 1919

Thanks for your letter of Avguet 28 about the Bear skulls
received since those described in your previous letter, dated

ib0Mt 5.

I hate nsde out touchers for all of these skulls, and
hate tried to enter them on iny cards, but am perplexed by the
albsenca of data for sone of them. In some case, you mention the
locaUty idiert the Bear was killed, in others not.

The Grizzly skin you mention as reo*i»ed July 9 from
Kntoldsen was regarded by him as tery pe««Mar. and valued at $25.
He got it from an Indian without the skull. I hate written him
tiuit it will be held until uy return wherv I will let hiig know

vhoi we will do i^ut it.

I earnestly hm.e tMt the three Grizzly skulls from the
Hbd«)ns Hc^ region shipped by Harry Garbitt hat* not gone astray.
as they are likely to prote of unusual interest.

I trust that ScoUick has been able to catch up with the
cleaning of the Oriwly akuUs, so that there may be no del^

later tm.

Yoo wiU romoEfcer that during W absence last year

the Biological Surtey receited the skull of a small B«u- from
Ckpt* A. B. Conot*r of Telegraph Creek, identified by him as a
Grizzly. Tot» irot# him that the skull was that of a Black Bear
and inquired about purchiPing the skin. He dt« not reply
directly to your letter, W»t has written m setersl times about
this Bear, am K. H. Ba^inon. i&o ha- — »^ ^*» '■'^'^ •'•^* ^"'^''^•''

I-

t

i\

-^

oe at leaet twice concernire it. As a result of all this. Capt.
Conover lias presented the skin and skull (the skull never having
been paid for).

Now, I have never seen this skull. I tried to get at it
last aiamer tut Sheldon was not able to find it. As both
Conover and Bennon insist that the Bear is a distinct species of
Grizzly with true Grizzly claws and wholly different free all the
Black ard Brown-Black Bears, it becomes us to reexamine the
specimen with considerable care. Capt. Cxjnover says it is a
small arizzly which kseps high up on the mountains and is well
known to the Indians.

I shall be obliged therefore if you will dig up this
skull and liave it kept where I can see it as soon as I return to
Washington. The skin will probably have reached you by this time.
as it was shipped by him by mail on August 19.

With best siwhes.

shall be very glad to see these skulls on my ret-.u-n to Washington
and also, as previously stated, the skull and skin of the peculiar
small Bear to vifoich you have several times referred, and which
you have been generous enough to present to our National Collection.

Yes, I shall be glad to purchase ..hs large Grizzly

from the Iskoot notwithstanding the poor condition *t the teeth.

aulls with broken or lost teeth are less valiaable than those

with perfect teeth, but I am always glad to get them and pay fair

prices, but not so hi^ as in the case of perfect onet.

Heturnii^ from nor recent field trip in northern California

charge of the San Diego^^'hot equally courteous. I earnestly
hope that you did not allow this annoytince to hasten your work
there, as it is most inporVmt to get e^trything possible now
that we have the chance— better spend a day or two More, ratJier
than an hour less, with each aet of records. Am anxious to know
more about ufaat you found at San Kego.

1^ recent trip was mofe fruitful even than the preceding
one. ihich is saiyii« a good deal. I secured the names and loCationi
of 53 rancherias in Klamath caiv« «nl » couple of doaen more in
adjacent territory^ *!»• fOi^oka* and added to ny prwvious Shaste
vocabulary, so I feel quite eUted over the result.

As soon as the Septwfcer account is in and my notes fras
the last trip are finished, I em planning to go northward again to
obtain additional material al-^ng the saim Unas.

Dear Chapoan:

On retiimii^ froRT a field trip to the Kleinath Uke

Brewster Ifenorial.

While not an withusiast of the bestowal of medals, I

should no* want to be aoong the missing in th« mtter of a

ny check for $10 as a snail contribution.

W« haT# had a couple of early rains which hare don*

Buch good, and the California sun is now shining brightly again

as if it had n9V9r known a cloud.

As soon as ny notes for the last trip are written up
I shall start on another, and ha^e s*.eral others sUU ahead.

enabl* me to accopt the enticing invitation you a>id Mrs. Chap^n

Dear Mr, Adams:

Rncloeed is my expense account for September amount ir^

to $316.50. and also vouchers for Bear skulls as per accompanying
11 st •

»

I guess we had better pay the Northumberland rent bill
in spite of the fact tliat they Btn;ck out the inserted line.

During September I made two field trips-one by auto,
the other by rail and stage-both of which proved more than ordi-
narily fruitful. During the first trip, in addition to other-
material secured. I obtained the names and locations of more than
50 old village sites of the Nom-iik^ka Indians) «.r>d on the second
trip, located more than 70 old villages of the Shaste tribe besides
securing much other material of value. In view of the fact that
not more than two or three Indians remain alive who know the tribal
boundaries and the names and locations of their old villages. I
certainly had exceptionally good luck in findir^ the right ones.

Expect to start north again in three days in pursuit
of additional information.

We drove about a thousand idles, visiting McCloud Rifer,

The latter, about 22 ndles ih longth, is tkm^ one of the most

Scott Mountains by the Callahan-Grazelle high grade o On this Iftat
grade we came near having an excit}>^g experienceo We had a hlow-

out of one of the hi fit tires just as a newly started forest fim
rushing and roarir^g toward ns with appalling swiftness. We changed
the tire ^ickly» but for soinetiTM were unable to pdaap any air into
it because of a tiny bit of nibber Itjdged in the val^e. However
we got off in time and made the grade without further difficulty
except for ti little boiling at one poinVi

Scott ¥alley is about ZZ ndles loi^, and is haamed in by
high mountains on all sides, so that there is no such thing as get-
tix^ into it without goli^ over a dlTide at least 2,000 feet aheve
the floor of the valley. The Salxoon Alps on the west side are a

«

lofty snow-iaarbled range well worth a long ^^^V ^^ •••• 'oreata of
Ponderosa Pines, interaixed with Incense Cedar, Douglas Spmcet
and Black and White Oaks, encroach on all mldes, and hare and there
send tongues out into the floor of the valley* The oaks are now
in their fall plun»ge, and the coloring of the White Oaks
(Q. garrvana) is sinply gorgeous.

In the way of material we got what we went for and mom,
so that the trip as a whole is one of the most satisfactory and

successful I have ever made; and we all wished many times that you
and your family were with us. You must go there on one of your
vacations, and I wish it radf^ht work out so that we could go together.

On reachinp; home we were saddened by a telegram from Dorothy

Dear ifr* Grant:

Referring to oar oonferBation of I'esterday, you reay V>o
glad to have a written iteiBoranium concerning the two signs ^hioh,
in my jud^nent. ar» badly needed at Fairfield and Itenni^n.

The one pointing weet at or near the courthouse in Fair-
field bears the word» •Benicia' and 'Vallejo*, but says nothing

about Napa. ^3ii« you will readily see is laisleadii^ to wwt-bound
toiu*iBtB not acquainted with the local roadc--for it is safe to say
that not one person in ten knows that the roeui out of ?|urf jeld-
SojBun labele(jl 'Benicia and Vallejo* is the 8ai«e cne that leads to
Kapa. The word 'Napa* in big letters should certainly be added to

the Fairfield sign*

A short distance west of Fairfield on the road to Cordelia
is a road leadii^ north which is signed "Napa via Wooden Valley •.
but there is no sign #iate»er on the direct road west indicating
that the main road leads also to Napa. Strangers to whom the t&ne
•Wooden Valley* means nothing naturally think tliat this je the
proper road to Napa, there being no other sifTi bearing the nftoe
•Napa.* I strtfj^ly urge that another sign pointing west anji labeled
"Direct Road to Napa* be erected at this point.

At or near Dunnigan two roads leave the main road for
Capay, but neither has any sign whatever to indicate wh-^re it goes.

vne 01 T.nese iaavea *.na niain road a short distance north of Dunnigan,
and is itself the rain road laadir^ to Cfepay. The other goes
direetly west from Dunnigan to the Capay road. On the hi^way at
Itanmgan is a highway sign sayir^g "Dar^erous hut passable." As this
is the only sign in sigrit, tourists are misled into taking this
horrible roiindaboxit, dusty, and bunpy road south to Blacks.
(2nclos9d is a diagram showir^ the points in question).

Your strip maps of this region rec<M>DBnd the Pioneer Garage
at Winters. This garage has no n»chanic and is a very poorly kept
place. The Winters Garage is vastly better, and has a raedianic.

miles the last day. An still driving the old Chevrolet-6 which
carried our family across the continent in 1913 and again in 1914. '

How are you all* We sometimes learn of yoti or raerabers

It is almost too good to be true that you had such splendid
success at Santa Barbara, aJUT that you have been able to check up so
many secondhand references by the original records o

ta ?nez Mission is a long way from Santa Tnez town

and also from the other neighborii^ town, Los Olivos, sjod as there
are no ranches in the immediate vicinity of the mission^ I am
at a loss to know where you will be able to ptit up. §haU await
word from you 4fith interest, and trust that you will find a suitable

Will send a manifold of this to San Luis Obispo so that

Dear Doctor Jaclcfion:

Replying to your letter of October 34 concerniiTg the
American Society of Marmalogiats, would say that I shall be obliged
if you will learn all you can of the views of meobars as to the
most desirable date for the next nieetir^. I do not expect to re-
turn ujftil sometime in Decanter — ^possibly not until after the
middle of the month, althou^ this is not yet certain — but there
will hm^ ample time for the necessary autiiorization for printing the
sacond mintar of the Joiumal.

I am greatly intarasted and pleaBed to know that we al-
ready hara 400 members — certainly a mattei* for mutual coJigratulation,

There is a matter concerning which I Vjave been intendirig
to write you all suramer but which is not pressing at the present ti
It is the mattw of incorporation. The Constitution we adopted^ so
far as a quorum of the Council is concerned, is in violation of the
XXstjrict Law on the subject, so that it wtll be necessary to make
some readjustment before incorporatir^o I had the incorporation
document all drawn up ready for signatures when I discovered this

obstacle.

With Jcindest regards to Mrs. Jackson arni j^ourself,

Dear Miee Clemenca:

Noveniber 6^ 1919.

O •ly o ""'it

nimnkB for your supplemental account to tho end of the
BWKth, which reached «e in acqjle tine. The wnount due you for the
moBth, if we liave figured it correctly, is $58.0^, which I am
enclosing herewith by check on Crocker Bank. I am forwardir^ «,l«a
by same nail your Snithsor-ian check, vriiich arrived today.

Your letter of the 3rd fron San Miguel also oaraa today,
ani I a« very glad to knew that you hate arrived so far north.

As to our promised auto trip, nothing but sacjnoss s-tares
US in the face at the present moment. 7/ar ^ae past month there has
been a strike of the machinists in the Bay Begion so it has he*!
iB5)0B8ible to have made a gear rir^, broken on our last trip.
This has now been at t.he gear-wdrks ih San Francisco two whole
weeks, but when I inquired yesterday nothing had been don^, as the
strike is still on. It is hoped that it may be broken in the near
future, but until then thirds are at a standstill. Hence, at present

w& faava no car.

So you had better go right on with your work: in t>># se-
(juence that is most convenient for you, and we will try to raako up
for it by some sort of a trip when the car is in running order.

ewir^ to this sarao difficulty I an ntarting tomorrow by
rail on a trip up the UcCloud in hopes of obtaining some tnuch-needed
additional Wintoon material, with also a rathor hopeless hope of
getting hold of some infon»tion abwit the southeastern branch (jf
Shastan stock which Dixon calls "0-kwan-u>tsU. * I ^Mnk I have

lo.

pretty nearly cleaned up the other geographic divisions of the
stock exceptir^ the one reported from the upper New River region,
now believed to be extinct.

With best wishes, and regrets that our plans have been

r

interfered with by car trouble,

Very truly yoiu-s.

P. So Tour big packaga of manuscript arriv^ safely and is now
raposing in our fire-proof vault.

Ifer. B. H. M&ce,

mioim, Oalif.

Dear lb*. )iaco:

On retiimir^ from a recent field trip in the northern
part of the Btat» I find your letter of October 24 fomwded from

iMdiijqgton.

It is mi^ty hard to ar-swer Mra. Mace's question about

Indian cwatom t^t still exist, for the reason that very little

l»s bem published except, in technical ethnological volumes or

journal*. Of uy own papers I have duplicates of only a couple

here, and therefore cannot help her much. I am sending these, with

ont or two other thi^js that «ay intereet yoa by this mail.

And after strain! i^ ny tasoory I do not think of ary non-

tecfanieal book» on the customs of OaUfomiH Indians tiiat are likely

to be found in local Ubraries. The most ccnpreh^nsive work is

one by Stephen Powws published in 1877 undar the title •Tribes of

Qtlifornia.* This is a big quarto voltme long since out of print

and therefore not easily accessible. A man naraed Jeremiah Curt>in

published sons years ago a book on ryths of the Wintoon a^Td Yahna

Indians, but I do not know ^ere a copjr can be had except in the

Berkeley Kthnological Library. In 1910 I polished a book entitled

•Tho ftum of the World. Weird Tales of the Mewan Indians of

Ciiliforma.' This was printed by the Ae H, Clark Company of

(Jincinnati. but I have only one copy hers and do not know how to

get another except from the publisher. Barrett, Dixon, Goddard,

i

ill*

froeber, and several others have published a lot abouv the various
tribes but mainly or \iholly technical, and so far as I recte^ber

no popular w^rk.

I assums that Mrs. Mace's field is exclusively CaUf orna.
If not, I could do better for her. as some of the general works,
particularly those of George Bird Grirjiell, are most In^.eresting
and written in popular form. A nujiber of tribes in various parts
of the state, including those of McCloud. Klamath, and Trinity
Rivers, still adhere to many of their primitive customs, and stiU
hold annual ceremonies, coononly called 'dances'.

~ Now, it is ny turn to ask you something. Some of the
Paakenta Indians (Andrew Freeman and others) are anxious to obtain
allotroents or patents within the California National Forest, 10 or
12 miles west of Paskenta and north of Bears Den. They say the
place they would like to get into is in or near Henderson Ctoyon.
'The place is not very near any wagon road. You of course know
whether or not such a thing would be possible.

As I told you on our trip in the California Forest when
you were so kind and helpful to Vernon Bailey, Dr. Stephens, and
myself, I should be ven/ glad if you would let rae know vdien you are
in San Francisco, if you are ever there during the time of year lAen

Dear Mr. Taverner:

Toiu- letter of October 29 forwarded from Washington

reaches «e on ^ return fro« a field trip in northern California.

Before this, you have learned that I a. on the west coast and

therefore not able to ta.e part in the present n^eting ^f the A.O.L.

Owing to the shortness of an old mn's me»ory and the

great distance between California and v^ ornithological notes,
it is impossible for ^ to answer yo.^ question about Co«au s
record of the Stellar Kider on the Gulf of St. Uwrence. However.
«,.t of Co«a.^•s birds were examined by me personally, and m the
case of those of difficult identity were submitted to Ridgway.
so th.t the records as published by :« in the •Au.^ are I think

^ T V-.,. r^^rt i cularlv was that of the tropical
pretty sound. One I reraernber particularly was , , ^

A v,r p^Hxrwftv as unauestionably a straggler
Virio. which was pronounced by Ridgway as unq «

of this species. „. , . -i

The letter books in the possession of the Biological

Survey show my correspondence with Comeau in respect to m^merous
records, and sh.ould be consulted for details, as my memory is not

to be relied upon.

With best wiwhes and regrets that 1 could not meet you

and others at the Hew Tort neeting.

Dear Mr. Rowley:

Your letter of the let inst., forwarded from Washir^ton.

Our friend Siraon is certainly most energetic as well as
generous, and it will be a good thir^ of course to have a series

I h<^ your city authorities will furnish the greatly

needed building.

I have by no naans forgotten the Bear skulls »diich you

uBd ttr« SimBon so kindly loaned me, but have been holding them in
order to conpare with a larger series, as skulls fro» the Stikine
region are constantly cooing in. I hope to ccnpiete this work on
my n*t\irn to Washington this winter.

Have been intending all suramer to call on you and on the
people at the Berkeley Museum, but have been so bu^ with field
work that I have not yet been able to visit either Berkeley or Oak
land. Hop© to do this howe-ver before ny return.

enclosed, with thanks for yoiir trouble in the matter* Don^t see
how I can get it up here unless the Johnson Gear Works get into

yet in condition for such an undertaking.

I tried to phone the gear company v^en in the City the
other day, but learned that it was a holiday and no one to answer
the phone. If sometime when convenient you will kindly repeat the
old quest inn I shall be obliged.

Had a pretty successful trip up north in spite of the
celd weather and the obstacle of inconvenient railroad traffic.
Am still writing up notes from the trip and shall be for several

When you" have nothing better to do, drop up and see us—

This doem TJot help me, for the reason that many tribes speaking

Histories not already read. "Hiere rajst be a rairaber of these in the

is sedd to be in the History of Trinity County.

I have good news from Southern (Talifomia as to the
outlook for additional vocabulary material, and expect to jpuil

If oy expense account check from the Smithsonian reaches

leave the date a little uncertain, you raaj
soraetime between Thursday and SundaJ.^^uf it must be onl^
a call this tine as I have much to do in the short interval
between now and Christraas, and we have promised to spend

Mr. Charles ■\. Gianini,

Poland, N. I.
My dear Sir:

On returning from Califcmia, I find your
letter of December 16 awaiting attention. Heplying
to ycur inquiries, would say that in my judgment both
QYie nol^^gPi and O, cremnoh^tfc. occur on the peninsula
of Lower California— at leaf't I have so identified
specimens in the Biological Survey Collection.

Qt grgmno^kP. is a heavy animal with' massive •

horns of the gaaadenffla and ms^icanus. style, while 0.

lalaofll appears to be a lighter species with tho horns
■ore slender, paler, and usually more outstanding.

The Antelope of the peninsula differs sli.crhtly
from that of our Western Plains, and has been described
as a subspecies by g. 'f/. Nelson under the name Antilocap:aL

^■flriflana^ifiiiiJQfifllatlg..

With best wishes fcr a Guccessful hunt, and
with the compliments of the season.

In addition to this, I shall bo glad if you vill

Dear Kr. Tavemer:

Owing to ny unexpectedly delayed return tc
Washingtcn, I have only just found ycur letter of Tccember
10, with accompanying manuscript entitled 'The Te^t cf the
Species'— the same being a reply to my article recently
published in the first number of the • Journal of feUimnalopy'.

I have read your manuscript carefully three cr
four tinos and fail to find in it any resl argument against
the position taken by B>e. On the contrary, ^ererel state-
ments are made that have no bearing on the case, and argu-
ments aro introduced against positions which I have never taken

In the first place, you seem to imply that my
position is the result of paleontological bias, or at least
that it is based Minly on paleontological evidence cr
inference. If you will read my article carefully. I think
you will find that this is not the case, as I merely intro-
duce the paleontological evidence as one of several entirely
distinct arguments, and I quite agree with you ^hat the
prectical question before us is the handling of related
forms as they exist on the 3urface of the earth todcy.
Nevertheless, the perfectly obvious factr of 'e.oent should
not he lost sight of.

^

.34

X • i? • 1 « ■""-■'i^ •

In one place you say: Mt the most, changes due
to evolutionary development, not those cnu.ed by our lack of
knowledge and understanding, ^U. during imnediate future
human experience, amount only to raising a fe. subspecies to
specific rank or the recognising problematically occurring
«ut.nt fonns.'^ This is a rather long sentence and embodies
at least three entirely distinct ideas, none of which appear
to h.ve any bearing on anything said or implied in my paper.
And, incidentally, may I ask wiiat you mean by "mutant forms"?
Do you know of any such among birds or mammals?

On another page you say: "To deny the existence of
the .pecies is to my mir.d philosophical sophistry." J fully
agree with you in this statement. Ife^ J ever sail anything
to the contrary?

JS lltUe farther oo you say: "In dealine "ith
mod.rn materia .e t«ve a fixed herizon-the Present ti.e
and through it the horse i= different fro. the «., and the
Iteirj fro» the Oo^y Woodpecker." 1 agree that in dealing
«th modem material we hare a fi«d hcri.on. but whnt hae
this t. d. with the cir.u„.tanoe that the horse i= different
fro. the a3s-aniK,ie ,o «dely apart th.t so.e authors have

placed thera in diffomnf „^«~ i ,

y in aiiierent genera; and has jmyone ever suggested

unitinfj the Hairy and Jowny Woodpeckers as subspecies?

In another paragraph you refer to a hypcthotior.l

F.A.T.— 3.

the question 1 fail to discover, but I do wish to file on
emphatic protest against the notion that infertility exists
hetwoen related species or related r^roups. On the other
hand, accuir.ulated experience with animals in confinement
proves that undreamed of fertility exists hetween 7;idely
unrelated species, and in some cases between well estebUrhed
genera. Is not your feeling in this matter based en inco-.piote
recognition of the fact that nature ebhors a hybrid, and t'lat
hybrids among maraaals and birds in a state of nature are

extremely rare?

Related to the same subject are your remarks en the

Hybrid Flicker. Did it ever occur to ycu to map the actual
breeding distribution of ^^filajltas^Jir^tiiS. and C.._safer.collaxis
If so. how did ycu picture the physical getting together of
two birds separated by such a broad geographical interval?
Would not the possibility of such interbmoding imply the
intermediation of some atmospheric or wireless medium at

present unknown?

You state that ycur argument is logicnl, and that

"its application disposes of the larg.er an,ount of personal
equationo** On both of these points I beg to liffer, believing
that your position is ^olly illogical, and th«t in the
shuffling of species and subspecies by the rule of inter-
gradation the personal equation counts ir.uch more thrn by the
criterion of differentiation.

After rereading ycur article several times, it
seems evident that my article has ruffled your preconceived
ideas, in consequence of which you have written a protest
^aat in the main hp.-^ little bearing on the case, and contains
little if anyth'ing in the way of real argument against the
position foi^ which I content^ If you will read my article
a littl^ more carefully anH then read yours thoughtfully,
sent'ence by sentence, my feeling is that you would not care
to publish your reply in it^ present fonr.

We agree on so many questions that I regret very
much to find that we ere so far apart on this one. I have
been very frank in my reply, as this seems to me the only
way among friends.

Dear Irofessor Hall:

When you left Colorado you must have pulled in
your hole behind you-JTidging from the circumstance that
a seemingly correctly addressed letter mailed by me on
September 11 has just been returned from the Dead Letter
Office. It is of no particular consequence, but I am sencing
!♦ nevertheless just to let yci know that you were not
forgotten during the summer, ani that I greatly admired tb.
excellent paper entitled 'Life Zo.. Indicators, which you
and Grinnell brought out under joint authorship.

By this mail I am sending you one of my publications
on ChipBiunks published more than 22 years ago.

I reached my daughter Dorothy in Cambridge about
11 o'clock on Christmas morning, and found all members of
my family together^Mrs. U. and ::enaida having preceded ..e.

We are now getting in shape for the winter's work.
but the temperature here is most discouraging in contrast
with that of the inhabited parts of California. The ther^om-
eter this morning stood at 10, and Laree or

ago at 3^ above.

tilth kindest regard, and greetinRS of V>e .ea.on

Afi^r leaving your hospitable home I had a

then pucrhed on to spend Christmas with my married laughter

Since returning to Washington and opening cur

and the necessary attention to household and businest^ affairs

During the two months of Norember and December
no fewer than 124 Bear skulls arrived from various parts of
the Northwest, mainly British Columbia, Yukon Territory,
and Alaska, for which vouchers had to be issued, and so on.
Hence » you will pardon me I am sure for my tardiness in
aoknowledging your many helpful courtesies during my recent

is an inexhaustible treasure house of ebcriginal informs tiorij

I lire in hopes of taking advantage of your kind invitation

to return.

Dear Doctor Grinnell:

Several years ago 'Forest <i Stream' suddenly
published the names of a.munber cf persons, including my cv/n,
as a ao-called 'Governing Board'. I had not Doon consulted
in this watter awl was very much surprised to see my r^mo in
the list. I had intended to speak to you about it, but of
late years we have seen one another so infrequently and hava
had so many other things to talk ahout that it slipped me

at the moment.

But as time went on it became more and more evidont
that the continned publication of this alleged 'uoveming
Board* was merely for advertising purposes '.vithout the
slightest foundation in fact, thus putting ms and others
before the readers of th<} msgasine in an absolutely false light.
Hence, in April 1918 I '"rote the Editor that this fsrce had
continued long enough and thfit I should be obliged if ho
wduld kindly remove ny nnme from the 'GoverniTig Beard'.
To this 1 received no reply. After waiting a year and findin?^
my name still published in this connection, I again r/rots

porsiateaco in the matter, and stating:

The o«cloaed letter needs no explanation.

Sie have not V«ard frow one another since early
last spring, and I do not lcntM» ,»her6 you were or what you
accomplished during the summer. I hope you were able to do
some field work in tho Meet.

For my part, I had an untisually productive season,
securing several vocabularies of dialects previously unrepre-
sented in my collection and doubling or nearly doubling the
terial on about 20 ottiers. I was particularly successful
vfith the 3haste, verifjrin^ the tribal boundaries and Tillage
sites obtained during previous y^ars and adding a considerable
quantity of new material, includinp a vocabulary of the nearly

extinct yn-Bo-«e'-hoo division.

Mr. Yemon Bailey,

1634 Kalorana Hoad,

lllashington, 9. C.

Dear Bailey:

Many thanks for the loan of the naterial sent you
by Melrin Ttendolph Gilmore giving the names in several Indian
languages of a number of Northern Plains mammals.

I have taken out the matter relating to the names
of Black and Grizzly Pears, and am returning all of the
■aterial to you herewith. •

In looking it orer sonewfaat hastily* I am impressed
with the feeling that I should be loath in accepting all cf
the names for any but the best-known large species; and es you
mentioned the other day* there seems to be a mix-up of the deer*

I undertstood you to say that Gilmore used plain
^glish sounds for the letters cf the alphabet, scorning the
peculiar alphabets end pronmciations used by most professional
ethnologists. But in looking e^ the first pape of his manu-
script I find the contrary to be tise, for he p,ives a phonetic
key in vrtiich not a single letter except q^ (and in certain cases
a) has the sound of the same letter in the English language"
Thus, according to his alphabet, aia spells aliib and SIR spells
flhin. while all of the vowels have their continental •r
European sounds Instead of the sounds in our English alphabet.

California.

Dear Irofessor Snyder:

Very many thanks for your promptness in replying
to my inquiry about ycur coTnjr..uftication on the so-called

Tehachapi barrier.

It never occurred to me that ycu were talking about

iiShaal This is an excellent example of the way our thoughts
often flow unconsciously in channels predetermined by our
particular fields of work-for I had in mind the supposed
barrier these mountains are sometimes assumed to form to the
distribution of terrestrial animals and plants. But they are
not much of a barrier after all. since many Mohave Desert
species pass over to the south end of San Joaquin Valley and

to Cuyama Valley.

I am much impressed by ^.at you say nbout the dis-
tribution of fishes, and shall await with interest the recexpt
of the paper you have been good enough to .end me on the

\thitefishes of Bear lake.

I infer that as yet neither you or Dr. Dickerson

has published on the so-called Tehachapi barrier.

Dear Sirs:

What has become of the separatee of my two

articles in the first number of the 'Journal of
Maimnalogy • published by you and dated November 1919
(pp. 6-9, and 38-40)?

This delay in the distribution of peparates
is most unfortunate, for the reason that many zoologists
date the publication from the date of receipt of authors*
separates, which in this case sets the date a year late.

I ordered 50 separates of each in addition to

the 25 furnished by the Society.

Very truly yours.

Dear Sheldon:

■Referring to our recent conversation ebout the
Mountain Sheep described frm the ^encade and 3ierra Nevada
ranf^es, would pay that two forms aspumed to be distinct
from one another have been published, namely: "Qvis
(;plifomianus" described by Douf^las in the Zoological
Journal of 1829 (p. 332, Jan. 1U29): and **Ovis c^rvipfl

;♦ described by Joseph Grinnell, published in 1912.
The kJcological Journal irs not at hand, but
Allen gives the type locality as near Ht. Adams, Yakima
County, Washington, which is a little south of the 3imilkameen
region. The type locality of Grinnell 's gigrrg is
given by him as Mt. Bexter in the high Sierra Nevada of
Inyo County, California (altitude 11,000 feet). Grinnell
saw no specimens of Qvis c«l i f orniana . and therefore assumed
on geographic grounds that the oierra animal is f^istinct.

The title of Douglas* paper is quoted as follows
in hia Journal as printed in London by William 'fealey
in 1914 (p. 325): "Observations en t^o undescribed Species
of North American Mommalia ^Cervup leucurus fit Ovig

If you are Roing to run only the new mclel, I am sorry to

If the present car is to be discontinued when the
new model appears, I think I will wait for the nev/ one;
but if both models are to be continued, I think I shall put

Dear Mr. Harrington:

Very many thanks for your courtesy in sending me

some statements in relation to i)r. ?ranz Boas.

His article in the 'Matien' seems to have stirred
up a hornets' nest, and so far as I can see the stings he
has received are well deserved.

The summary of discussion and action at the
Cambridge meeting of the ^.nthropological Association, together
with the details of the final vote, are of much interest, na
is also the letter from 3r. Bushnell.

You do not say anything about returning the manuscript
but in case you want it back, phone me and I will return it.

Thanking you for your courtesy in the matter.

Very truly yours,

Mr. John P. Harrington.

Smithsonian Institution,

While you are in that cold storage vault you

mi^t cast your eye on the top naps of the two upper shelves
to see if I left there** folded inaf»with areas colored to
show distribution of Indian tribes. The maps I have in mind
are Shasta and Klaaath National forests, and al^o possibly the
U.S.G.S. Sacramento Valley long sheet. If you find any of
the«. send them along with the vocabularies.

I hate to bother you with this job, but a trip to
lapunitas from here would consume so much time and cash that
I am impelled to impose on your kind-heartedness and f^eneral

helpful disposition.

There is still a good market for second-hand carsWr^t
but I have not yet sold 'Arabella', for the reason that the
American-6 ia bringing out a new 1920 Model to be re«dy in
March, equipped with a Herschel-Spillman motor— which surely
is going some. There are other improvements also which
would seem to make it a most desirable carry-all, provided it
is not too big. Incidtntslly, if you happen to run Across
anybody #10 wants to buy 'Susie' please let me knc^.

Se have had an old-time winter so far, pnd tho snow
ie still piled up in the streets so deep that navigation is
difficult and nasty. For several 'lays stalled cars could be

I have beeii subscribing to ^Motor^ for ri^my ycnrn,

I have vritten your office four tiTTies in respect io
the matter, but have received only one rcply^v/hich vas dated
January 14 and signed '^J. M. Helton." Mrc Hoiton infonned
me that the October and November numbers had not boon published
and that my subscription would be set ahead accordingly. He
stated alsj that he v?ould send mo the December number. As this
never ar/ived I v/rote him again calling his attention to the
matter and asking if he ^"ould not kindly send me both the
Decenbcr and the January numbers, ^s T assumed the latter
would be out by this time, but I liave had no reply, and have
not yet receive'! either the j3ecember or January number.

As there so'^ns to be no particular reason v/hy the

Dear Mr. Bishop:

Very «any thanks for ycur letter of ?e>;rasry 11,

telling me that the Haples Wolf killed in December 1916

is a Coyote.

This is interesting,, but still leaves much ic be

desired. The next question is. what Gcyote is it. as there
are several very disti-nct species of Coyotes. If it is not
an 'escape' but a genuine easterly extension of range,
the species is likely to be the original SasiS-latMa,
the type locality of t»hich was the Missouri River valley
along the Nebraska-IoTO boundary. The only way to detennine
the species positively is by the skull, and this I foer
is sealed up in the mounted specimen. However. I am
greatly obliged for the measurements and other infotmation

you have contributed.

0„8 Of the saddest things connected with our
study of the larger medals is the ..loncholy cirou-^tanoe
that in a large proportion of casea the s*ull. are hidden
in .ounted sp«=lB.n,. In the case of the -e«rs. 1 have
had a n^bor of theao removed and replaced hy d»™y sVulU-

Dear Mr# Clark:

Mr* Nelson has aUked me to write you with reference
to a reasonably accessible locality fron frtiich Big Bears are
desired. Sheldon spoke to ne about ttiis a few days ago» and
we agreed that the strip of coast fronting the Fbirwsather
Alps offtrs a Bost inriting field. !• already hare tm or
three pusling aknlle froa Aleek Delta, but no adnlt sale.
Bot froB the Alaek southeasterly all the way to loy Strait
«e have ahsolntely nothing, and the rei^on is knoim to be
ii^bited by Big Bears, probably Grisslies.

For years I have tried to get akulla fron this
region, partienlatly fron Litnya Bay nhere a maiber of Big
Bears hare been killed, but thus far have utterly failed.
Utnya Bay is a dangerous place to enter at certain tide., as
you doubtless know, but there are plenty of other plaoes al.n
this stretch of coast lAiere one could land safely. When on
the Harriaan 8xp«iition a number of us aade a landing at a
point irtiere a comer of a glacier was uprooting some trees.

It certainly nould be a great thing if you could
bring home two or three skulls of adnlt males from this icy

ref^on

I wish to thank you alao for a copy of your report
on the affairs of the Society for the year 1919. To my mind
it is an exceptionally important docuaent, hi-istling with
facts of interest to all who are interested in the growth
end welfare of the Socitty; and viewed frojr. another standpoint,
the data it contains might well be utilized in a montment
to your industry and ncoesa in building one of the most
popular magazines in Amsrica, and at the same time establishing
the Society on a remarkably fimi financial basis.

are both iniured, one bv ho^'inp the ba?e and Irfl ?ide
of the brain Cij^o shot sway, the other by htivirr the crcpt
on top broken off, so that their value is nonri ■erfhlv
les!' than if thoy had been porf-ct. A checK oT "49 ih

^■►rthermore, I am thankful to you fcr Benain-', tlie
complete list cl the vocabularies remaininp, yt li^^unitss. I
had intended to mako such a list myself, but that last day was
too much for me. and I had to come away without it. "enaida
had yorked one cut by bacK action checkinfr of our records of
thoso copied and those broufht back, but it was not a rure
thing like yours. I hope you did not put ycur eyes out trying
to read those names in the dark. ?lie reason the Pa-vye-nfln
folder was empty is that it is an abbreviation for Nis-sim-pq-
m^miL, vhich you found in its proper envelope.

The maps you sent are exactly the ones I wanted, and
I am awfully glad to have them.

Your assurance that the I;!f:rtinellis will not pull
out before fall anyway relieves our minds, ./e are rlad that
they have sa.od up Pome stove-wood. Probably they will put
it in the -ood-house later. GL^d also that you found nothing
wrong about the pUce, uM that ycu succeeded in pulling down
a little rain, even if it did make you step lively for a .vhile.

3o there 3091ns nothing more to bother you about just

Dr. W.^^Cuthbert Holmes.
"""' tream,

Nr. Victoria, B. C.

My dear Sir:

On returning from the season's field woric in
California more than a month ago, I found among natters
referred to me by the U.S. Geographic Board (of which I
aoi Chaixnan) a copy of your important' pamphlet entitled
"The Science of Bnglish Spelling," of whigh I should be
very glad to posses? a personal copy if you still here copies
to spare.

I am interested in the subject froM two quite differ-
ent points of view: one, the correct spelling of gec^raphic
names; the other, the correct English notation of Indian words,
as I am constantly engaged in taking rocabularies of Indian
tribes.

Our Geographic Board is governed largely by local
usage, and therefore often adopts spellings which seem to us
not the best.

7ery truly yours.

Mr# S. B. Gardner,

3an Geronimo, Calif.
Dear J4r. Gardner:

Many thanks for your letter of the 34th inst.,
telling me that there is nothing in the rumor that a
Mountain Lion had been visiting the neighborhood of
Woodacre. I had heard that a couple of calves had been
killed by this mythical monster* It turns out like many
of the wolf stories that I have run down during tbr last
25 years.

It is a pity that we cannot even up the climate
on the two sides of the continent, sle have been having sno.v
and rain-HBainly snow— all winter until the last tw or three
days, while you seem to be havin?^ the driest winter on record.
We were glsd to see by the papers that there has been a little
rain in the Bay Region recently, and hope that mere will follow
before it is too late. The drouth must bo mi/^hty hv.vA on
range stock.

We are expecting a visit from our daughter Dorothy

with her little girl about the middle of the month, to which
Grandma Merriam is looking forward with eager anticipation.
We will not say anything abotit drandpa in this connection*.
, ^ Mrs. Merriam and Zenaida join with me in kindest
regards to you all.

Very truly yours.

Dear Doctor Grirmell:

Your letter of the 24th sets me to wondering.

In the matter of the spellinp; of Clark *s name, you say that

Coues contended for the Bimpler ?pollingo I^r it a matter of

contention to advocate the spelling; of a mar's name in the

proper v/ny — the vmj in which he and his family write it?

And becauf'e the final proof-reader of the /.O.U. Ghock List

blundered in adding an Sl to Clark's name, is that any reason
for perpetuating the error?

YoTi ask if I would rocommend depcrtinp, from A.O.U.
usage in matters generally: -'o this T would roply that I
would always depart from any one's xxsafe when said usage
involves a manifest error; end fur-therracre, that having i^andered
from my early theological tralninr,. I em not u .vorphiper of
Almighty God either in the form of nn intanp.il^ln eth-^r c-v cf
an A.O.U. Check List. Neither would 1 cccewt the h,[.,V.^3
possesrive forms of personal nfiMc;?, nor vonLl I r'oliow xn
certain cormion Knglish nrn'^n ^^hich I b-licve to be v/rcng.

Dear Walter:

Many thanks for your letter cf February 25, just
received. In the matter of 3alt lagoon. I probably conveyed
the iraproRsion that it is too near Monterey. As a mritter of
fact, it may be at some distance, as the Indians living there
.vero given a rliiTerent tribal name from those at Monterey.
I shall be gicd to learn if you find out v/h^rc it is.

The latter part of your letter delights ne very much,
as my human side is weak enough to bo tickled by your confession
thi't you agree with me in accepting legree^ of ^ Terence instead
of intjirgradation, real or imaginary, as a guide for the deter-
mination of gpeclo? and genera. Your personal action in the

Dear Sirs:

Tho two Gri:'.zly Bear skulls mentioned in your letter
of I'^'ebruary 16 arrived last week. Unfortunately, they are not
so yalu£ible hs you supposod, one being an adult female worth
$8, tho other a young male, only about half adult, 7/orth $5.
A check of $in m payment will be sent you in a few days from
my account in the Smithsonian.

In the previouj? batch of five Grizzly skulls received
from you, along with four skulls of Blacks, I find one of the
Gri:izly skulls matched up with the jaw of a very different Bear*
I suppose you do not rernember snythinf^ about this.

As to prices: Hereafter, I shall not be <'jble to pay
as hip.h prices as heretofore, Pully adult males are the ones
needed for determining the chc'iracters of the species. Females
are much less valuable, and irmaturo skulls cf almost no value
except for the teetho Many of these ycun/^ -ears are so Irrpe
that when killed they are supposed to be adult, but their
skulls show that they are only three or four years old, and
have not yet acquired adult characters. The bulk of our Col-
lection consists of skulls cf this kind. Hereafter, exc^ept in
the case of skulls from unusually importrnt localities, the

maximum prices paid ^.7ill be: for fully-adult males :;i5; fully-
adult females J?8; youn/^, and immature Bears $S to ;'5.

Very truly yours. ^ s

On retuminp;, I went to the Kuseum to examine the

for the reason th^'t they were then nt the cleaner'?- Thoy hflve

The damafjed skull ftho ^.mailer one of the t-v^o"^ labeled

the one from Seal '307, is a fine old m^ile v/hich I h^ive priced
at vl8f making %?Jl in all, a check for .vhich will bo sent you
in a few days.

Hereafter, I shall not be f^ole to pf?y more th^n vl5
for the best old males; $7 or $8 for old females; and '^o cr |4
for young of different apreso ?>:Bse younp; skulls predominate

Dear llr. Grosvenor;

Your letter of the 6th inst. nctifyinn me thnt I
Juive been appointed a member of the conmittne to adopt
resolutionp in memory of Admiral leary, and tran^^mitting n
copy of t)'e proposed resolutions, has just been rocnivod.

In response to your requef?t for criticism, would
say that the resolution strikes me ps a little long and a

little too fulsome •

I do not af;roe to the stctoment that Tcary^s
'^contributions to our kncvlodno of the earth surpass there
of any roan of hir time, and make him the poor cf Fudpon,
kiagellan, and Columbus/' The Society cannot jifford to nake
statements so manifestly untrue. And is it not a fact that
the discoverers of the 3outh Pole made vastly larf;er contri-
butions to pnographic knov/ledge than did the discrveror cf
the North Pole? And, persona lly» I .vould net dercribe the
attainment of the North Pole as '^tho supreme victory/'

The last p'^rpp.raph preceding the j^-!^liminary
resolution strikes me as a little overdone, and I have taken
tht liberty to alter it slightly;

Mr.

^.^ery truly ycurs,

Gilbert Orosvenor,
President, NatU. Geographic Society,

(■

Dear !)octor Dixon:

Tho time has finally arrived .vhcn I fear I shall hevo
to bother you from tire to time to answer a fc-v -niostions. ?or
more than 20 years, as I think you kno'.v, I havo "been .vorkin^ ot
different times amonf; the various Indian tribes of California and
Nevada, accumulating material slowly, a little at a time, checkinp,
and verifying as opportunity offers. Home of this material is now
very nearly in final fonn, and e? I Hm gettinr. alonp in ye«rs,
it seems important to finish it as early as msy bo.

It is noTT ZZ yeers «ince 1 first worked in Shiirta
territory, but only during the last few yonr? thiit I h;;ve made a
special effort to complete my vocabulary and distributional
material. I am neither inclined ncr com.petent to make the pro-
found grammatical studies -.vhich ycu and Kroober are noted for,
but I have given a good deal of time to tho collection of vocabu-
laries and of matter relating to animals snd plants, and also to
the names and locations of aborir.inal villages and tribal bound- ' -
aries. In collecting this, as v/eU as cthor kinds of information,
we all are victims of the personal eciUf^tion of tho infonnant, so ^
that until the matter obtr.inod from one Indian ha?-bcen checked ^
by another, I never feel very -ure that it i? ccrrecl. Hence. |
when 7e differ in our results, tho differences must bo due to |
our informants . not to ourselves. In some rr.e. Iho errors are .

the rosult of a lack of complete understanding betv/enn the
questioner and the perpon questioned, as you of course Vnow
from personal experience*

All this by way of introduction. Now, I want to
take up some matters rolatinp, to the distribution of tho 3haste
and their villapes. You place the 5haste-Karok intertribal
boundary between Thompson Creek and Indian Creek, while my in-
formants on both sides (both 3haste and Kerck) place it at the
mouth of 3ciad ''reek on tho north side of Klanath "^iver and at
tho mouth cf lalker Creek on tlie south side, 3ipn-mi they pave
me a? the vestemmost 3hi^,ste village. As a result, you have
three villages en tho north side end one on the south side
attributed to 3hastan territory i^claimed by the northern Karok.
Incidentally, the site for Happy Camp is on the vrronp side cf
Klamath ^ivor. It should be on the ^rost side jurt above the

mouth of Indian Creek. Your Tcitatowaki at the mouth of

Thompson Creek is called 3it'-ip-koor by the Farok.

You put the name Tatsuk on Bi^ Humbup Creek, but do
not Iccatv'^ a ^nllape *='ite. Did you intend this for a villoce name?

To save time for both of us, I have had your Chaste
village names type^vri tten in tho form of n li^^t, 'nth a few
comments, which 1 am onclosin^?, horcv/ith. I havo attempted to
translate thG names t.s riven by you into orciinary .ilnrlish, and
shall be oblif'cd if you vill kindly m;iko any necorf^ary corrections
and comments, and return the iist. i shall be oblipod also

if ycu v/ili kindly refer me to the pare of some of your publica-
tions in which ycur alphabet ip piven.

Mr. itltpn Claric,

18 PoBVoffice Square.
Boston t Mass.

Dear Mr. Clark:

It is good news that you are expecting to start
on your Boar hunt earlj in April, and that you will try to
get Bears between Alsek BeU« and Icy Strait.

In speaking of the aatter yesterday, I find that
Sheldon thinks that you think that I an specially anxious to
get specimens from Lituya Bay. This ireally is not the case,
as I mentioned Lituya Bay merely as a central point along
that part of the coast from which *e have no specimens at all-
in former years Big Bears were said to be connon there, but
as it has since been prospected by miners the 3ears mey have
been killed off; and the place is aaid to be dangerous of
access except to persons very familiar \nth the tides.

i<hateyer the species of Hear inhabiting the Litnja

Bay region maj be, it is almost certain to have a considerable

range over the low country along the base of Fairweather Alps

from Alsek Delta south to Icy Strait. Hence, if I were pjcing

to hunt there, I would not pick out any particular place in

advance, but would sail along the coast and make landings

where they could be safely undertaken. Uuch of this coastal

plain is covered with enormous ice fields between which are

tongues and masses of forest.

Please give my regards to Hasselborg.
nith best wisnes and kindest regurds,

Very truly yours.

I

Deer Mr* 31oane:

Thanks for sending Me the C£ird and correflpondenca

concerning the unfortunate change of naiwe fro« 3ente IacIe

«

Peak to Junipero 3erra Feek. It is a great pity that the
Board did not take the '^ugpef^tion of irrof. Jfevidpon that the

ne^T name be applied to one o^ the four unncmed peaVs in the

<« •

iante Lucias, the exact location of each of .fhicb ^ms r^ivero

by hiai.

Owing to the fact that I have no recollectien ^het-
ever of the change of name, I have junt looked m my diary
and find that on the day that the new name ms ^dopted^ Jan.
2. 1907, I was confined to the house vith a bad cold, end
did not attend the meeting.

The adoption of the name Junipeit) lerre in place of
the tiwe-honored name .^anta Lucia for this peak socms to me
one of the mo«t unhappy decisions the Board has ever made.

Incidentallyt part of the correspondence you sent
■e relates to other sur^jects* All cf thi.% correspondence
and the card are returned herewith.

Thanking ycu for the same,

Dear Doctor Dixon:

Very iiany thankP' for your kindness and promptness

in looations and spellings. It is a case where '^every little

and I think it is wrth the ti«« and cost of verification.
Therefor©^ before publishing I hope to *eko another trip
over the ground for the purpose of checking and. verifying
the few rtnfiining doubtful poi&ts,

I caMwt quite agrw ;rith you that there is nothing
in your tem 'OkimilOtcu' to iiuiicate that it means "south

people.*^

While it is true that the 3haste do net seem to have

definite positive terMS for north and south, they nevertheless

iploy definite t^-ras of direction in different parts of the
ares inhabited by the tribe. One of the oldest of the living
fiai-bloodB of the tribe told me. pointing south, that QfirkmOH

of the dominant points in the teeth of Bears, and I replied
by telling you that the prctoconid v/ar followed by a small
aetaconid. follovred in turn by a ^iv of cusi^a known,
respectively, as hypoconid and entcoonid; also that a weU

Do not be alarmed at this follower* But since
writing you a day or two ago, I hare been looking oyer ywHr

correctness of your use of animal names. ?or the first time
in the histoxy of the world, an ethnologist writing of
California Indians has the correct name for nearly every

1^ bird, and reptile mentioned* But do you hot use two
nemee for the Badger, Hola and lania? "^he latter if? the name
ordinarily used; the iormer I am not familiar with. Wor am I
familiar with Hetart^iiii for liuaknt. The name I r,ot for it
is XP"«"«ah. 3e far as known ,*it d«w» not occur anywhere in
northoBfltem California except in Su9m Piver, eo that moat
of the Indians are not familiar with it.

•Vhen you go to ask one of the old Spenisb-speaking
residents about 3alt lagoon and other places mantioned in nj
previous letters, please ask about one or tM> other pl«ci
■entioned frequently in early California literature:

3} ^^ if* spoken of as a place towrd Ian /,ntonio
(going froB Monterey), and nmPt hare been on one of the old
trails.

Ifis ">alina8^ is mentioned as near the mcuth of jalinas
Hiver, and therefore some distance from the present tovm of
Salinas.

Sargenta r?uc is mentioned as some distance un on
Carmel Hiver, and also once or twice as if on the coast near Sur. ...

^-^■^i^i'jfl*^ is not located, but nrast be sowewbere in
the general region.

3an Miguel is given as on Carmel River, and therefore
remote from the place at the head of Salinas Valley known as
3an Miguel (-^here the Mission is).

Other names mentioned in connection with Monterey and
oalinas ^^alley are: San Buenaventura. Lanaca, and Lima.

If you can get any light on the locations of any
of thesp, I shall be obliged.

Thunks for yours of tho 17th, this day received,

I^Vom present indications, you h/ive shifted your
engineering ability from powerhouses and irrigation v/orks to
stocks and bonds. I trust the profits ..ill be at least equally
satisfactory. According, to the list sent, you arc in a position
to unload at v/hat I should consider a mighty fine profit, ^nd.
incidentally, if I ovmed any iiissouri-lacific or western
Pacific, 1 .yould lose no time in unloading, particularly since
at the figures you give you will be making a handsome profit.

Inasmuch rs you mention en intention to make another "
risit to Legunitas, I have another favor to request: lou know
women are funny tnings, especially sometimes, end you also kno'.v
frcm your large and varied experience in this line that -/oirien
dote on displaying their fine clothes. This brings mc to tfie
point: Mr!5. M. forgot her show-dress. 3he left it hanging
on the little shelf in the dining room botv.'crn the dcor la-idinp
to the kitchen and the door leading into the back hall. So
if you really do go up there again and get that Kanamara
▼ocabulary, pJeare nenri the precious parment.

Dorothy :.'nd Teth are with us, nnd it is intcrcf^tinr

to note how Beth has developed and learned to /a Ik and talk

since she was here a year ago.

Doubtless you are back at your liill Vf.iley-':'amal:)ais

De»r Colonel iUcGuire:

The ^pril niuaber of 'Outdoor Life', just received,
•on tains on page cl4 the picture of a most reiriarkaWe ')ear
killed by Richard Mitten and photographed by Capt. Kubrick.
The fiJrm of the head of this "ilter and the phenomenal phortno' s

of his legs are most surprising. If it were a cub in the
second year of one of the big Grizzlies, it irip;ht posj'ibly
have #nEh a head, but the shortness of the legs romain? a
mystery. Could the position cf the photographer at a lo^er
level than the Bear have anything to do with it? I hardly
think so. Or could it be that the ^ar .vas really dead end
propped up oB rocks, one of -vhich shows in the picture?
This would account for the low position of the body, but it
would be herd to understand how the head ms held in bo naturci

a position*

At all events, it is e most strrnge and intore^ting

beast, and I woiOd like mightily to get hold of its skull.
Do you happen to know the addre'js of the Richard Kitten who

killed it?

With best wishes ^

picture o.ving to the peculiar rounded shape cf the head and the
extraordinary shcrtnoss cf the legs. I em wondering if the
picture w^.s iiAen after the T.ep.r >v;iH killed by propping it up
on rooks or such. In that copo, it is hard to see hc;v the

Dear Sir:

Tour letter of Idaroh '^ is a little difficult to

answer. Tou haye giyen ne seven subjects frc» which you wiph ire
to check thc^e that hare contributed most to my succesf^ in -
life. In reply » I feel bound to say that whatever success !
maj have attained is not due directly to any of the causes
or influences you have enumerated^ but rather to an intense
interest, possibly inherited^ for the study cf natural history
in a bread pense^ becked up by a viperous cronptitution*

The first four influences r^ontioned by you relate
to schools and teachers and there f^ra may be stricken out^ as
I never wont to school until 1 was 15^ before ^i./ich inio I had
already begun the serious study of masaiialB, birds » and insects.

Tour sixth heading » influence of books, may like-
.vise be stricken out, cince 1 suffercid from weak eyes and up
to thfit time had read very fev books, and wuld surely
reiaeaber if I iiad read anything of iVpc^rt^nce.

My deer 3ir:

January 16, atatin^ thjit you -vore sendir.g the skull oi n fenwl
Bear killed about October 1. last, at the bead of :tikine Piver,
the odor of which you rte??eribed»

I cannot find the record of roceipt of any Puch fkull
unless it is the skull of a yomifr fem/ile (in third vofir. with the
base of the pkull cut out in craer to remove the brain) ^hich
came by itself by mail in a J?mall bap^ a fe.v d^ys cf^o. I rather
think ri must be the skull in ..uef^tion. althour^^ it soome a
little strange th;it the cdav/s of so young a B«£:r should be so.
much vfcm as those you mention.

It is a pity tl-uit tua skuJl wiis so b^idly injured, as
.vith a little trouble the brains could h^jvo been removed through
the natural opening in the back of the skull.

ily dear Doctpr Pope:

Thanks for your letter of Iferch 26 telling me

that van are ^oin^ to visit Yellowstone Tark for the pr.rpose

of obtaining specimens of ^Tri;5zly Bears for the Museum of

the Oalifomia Academy. This cannot hut be an interesting

trip, tind I hope it will be successful. But, personally, 1

should not enjoy the sport of tackling a Grinzly with bow and

r

arrow, lou are fortunate however in Iiaving so reliable a
mail as Ked L^ost for a guide.

I am glad to know that you are f?oing to make such
accurate notes on the freshly-killed specimens. This will b^
particularly valuable for fully-adult Bears.

Not havinp, p.iven attention to the anatomy of r^ears
except so tar as it relHtos to the bones and teeth, l cannot
refer you offnanr^ to literature on the subject* 1 remember
however that both 'Teddys Cyclopedia of Anatomy' and 'Owens'
Anatomy' contain matter en tho soft parts of Hears. This
however is not tc; be found in cne place, as it is scattered
under the heads of tfio oHfferent viscera. I

in case your 'A-Jar." are not killed after visiting
the gcrbage pilos, infomij^tioi? as to the contents of their
stomachs would be of mteropt.

I regret that the combined kcramento ^'/^lley

:-^m my personal use of the 3urvey»s oep sheets.
extending over a period of more than 35 years, both in the
field end office, I find the combined .hects such a. the
three of Southen, California, the large one of the ^y -egion.
and the long one of riacramento Valley immeasurably more
• convenient than the small sheets of which they are composed,
^ese and the combined maps of the Neticnal larks are to
my mind the most usoful maps ever produced of any part of
the Ifnited Jtates. If the long Jacn.n,ento V.lley map
extended over the foothills a fe. miles farther ea.t and a

Dear Mr:

Your letter of the lOt^a inst. enclosing bill of
$36.48 for work recently sent you is at hand* 1 note thut
you ask for payment in advance. The practice of this offioe
is that bills are paid the first of each month from my account
in the omithsonian Institution, so that yours fould naturally
be paid the Ist of Uay# This is by far the most satisfactory
method of paymeilt to both the Smithsonian and myself, but
if you are unwilling to wait until May, 1 ^ill send you iny
personal check, althoup:h the ?>mithsonian objects to this
method of payment for amounts exceeding S5.

An early reply will oblige,

^^ery truly yours,

Dear Preble:

ites James Iteooun at the Tribilof Islands with
y;ou and Osgood in 1914? And do you happen to know what
years he visited the Islands after ISSl^n addition to
thf! year 1914?).

l«st summer you wote me concerning the skull of a
Gri.aly rec^ijedl July 14. 191S. from Oscar T^ndry of
Bella Coola^?te the back p«rt of one side of the jaw .as
gone and that there was a bullet hole through the no.e and
palateo Landry writes me that thie is an error; that the
skull in question is perfect, the Bear having, been shot
through the spine,

I wonder if this means that two siculls in tho
Collection have been transposed, and if so. if" it's possible
at this late date to straighten them outi:

sufficient for all. You ask for ''the subject of erch

Dr. WalQOtt, Secretary of the Smithsonian, has

referred to ^s your letter of April 17. in which you mention
thst you have the skull of a female Brcvm ?ear killed by ycu

last fall at Hector.

There are several places called Hector in Canada:
one on Hudson 3trait; one on lianitou lake. Ontario; one in the
Bocky Ucuntains of Alberta; and one in Koctenny district, ^.C.

If you will kindly tell me 2^^1155^0? -^^^ ^^^^ ^^'^^ °^ ''^'^
Bear. I will be better able to judge of its value. I infer
howevor that in usinp the term 'Bro-A^n ^ar' ycu mean the
bro^ color phase cf the common ?lack ^ar, not the ^ip, Brown
Bear of the laoific Coast repion.

3kuil9 of females of the Black Bear proup nro

K. 6. Ueritt. Asst. Oomniss loner.
Office of Indian Affaire,
Washington, D. C.

My dear Ur. Ueritt:

Thanks for your letter of yesterday, relating to
the laskenta band of honeles? Indians of California. I
regret to learn that the Special Agent engaiF^ed in investigating
the natter of purchasing land for these Indians left the work
unfinished and has bean assigned to something else*

I have hoen endeavoring to secure from the Forest
Service a grazing privilege for these Indians » which I think
they will grant provided the Indians secure a permanent home
in the Paskenta region; and I am informed by the Forest Service
that ''the Hold plaoe^ can be purchased for $2,500. I do not
personally know the lay of the Hold place, though I have
probahly traveled over" it. It is said to join the 67 acres
ovmedby the Paskenta Indian Andrew FreenaB.

I promised to do what I could to help those Indian* ,
and should be very glad to have seme encouraging »ord to say
to them whon I visit them within a f«» w^tjks. If I can be of
any assistance to your Office in the matter, please let me know,

tery truly yours,

me that 1 was elected Iresident of the Anthropological

his influence in the selection of a younger man. and one
more cle«ely identified with anthropology. However, having

Dear oirs: ■*

Replying to your letter of yesterday, v/culd
say that the name of the common Plack Beflr of North
/jnerica is Ursug amsricanus. The so-called Pine-nut 3ear
appears to be a myth , which thus far has e^-oepod scientific

nomenclature. '?he Big ?rc.vn 3oar of ''laska is net a single
speaies, but is a common name^applied to a cp^siderfiOi^ numuei
species, ranging all the way from Alaska Peninsula south\v«rtl

to southeastern Alaska. If the exact locality where the

Bear v/as killed were known, it mi^ht be practicable to

naTse it.

Dear Doctor iitephens:

You know from repeated personal experience
that when a man is continuously overvhelniod with sore
work thaii he can hftadle, bis good intwitions are pretty
sure to fall through. This is intended to explain my
long delay in writing you.

1 had to work under pressure to prepare a
paper on Klan»ath Indians for the .April Meeting, cf the
National Academy of ooiences, altsr .vhic'n i v/ent to
New York to preside at the ^Annual Meeting of the /.merican
Society of Kanunatogists. vfhiie there, I had my usual luck
in acquiring a severe influensa-cold of some sort, from
which 1 am still suffering, i am nov. .vorkinf^ as hard as
possible Id g«t last season's field notes m shape so that
we may return to California — which we hope to do about the
1st of June.

Now, how art you oil? \1e vvere glad to knew that
you reached home before the death of i.'rs. Bruce. We
appreciated your kindness in sendir.g^li«.tolegram.

tfere we have had a cold backsvard spring, with only

one brief warm spell » and it is still so cold that we are
obliged to have lires.

It is a great disappointment to be so aelayed in

totting away, but rhere seems no help for it* \ie now hope
0 reach Lafrunitas not later than June 10, and hope to see
you all soon afterward*

Ab ever yours, -

M/iTti OF JAUES M. MAOOUN

On January 8» 19£0, James id. llacoun. Chief of the
Biological Division of the Geological Survey of Gnnada,
died at his home in Ottawa. He was bom et Bellville,
Ontario, in 1862, and was the son of the venerable
botanist of the Dominion, irof. John lacoun. who. it is
a pleasure to state, is still living.

James Macoun. though primarily a botanist, inherited

a

Iso his father's interest in birds end mammals, and .vas

listed among the charter members of the ^erican Society

of MamfflBlogists.

During the 36 years of his service -nth the Geological

3

urvey of Canada, of .vhich he was appointed Assistant

naturalist in 1898, Botanist in 1917, and Chief of the
Biological Division in li^lo, he traversed many ranote and
little knovTO parts of the Dominion, from lake Kistaspini,
Hudson Bay, and Churchill River westerly to lesser 3l8ve
Lake and Peace Fiver and varjons parts of British Columbia,

and birds for the Canadian (iovernmeni.

in iSiO, while studyine the flora and fauna of the

party obliged to escape in a small boat. Portumitely,
they vvere rescued and tiiken to /t. Churchill, from ..hich
remote outpost they made the overland journey to Leke

James Macoun assisted his father in the prep;.n;tion
and editing of the t.vo editions cf the e^Un^i^r^o^^^ ^'''^'
entitled 'Catalogue of the Birds of Canada,'

In 1901 he visited the PrioHof inlrmds in Bering Jea

and in subsequent years (1906 and 1^14) returned to the

Islands in connection vitii the .'\ir-i«til Controversy.

I first met James Hacoun «t his father's home in

Dear l!r* Hollister:

Repljing to yours of yesterday, woul^ say that
this rietter o^ the obitaf:ry of James Kacoun has been from
the first a matter of embarras^nent. 1 v/as requested to
write it by Anderson and others of the Canadian Geological
Surrey, »vho told me that Uacoiin had applied for charter
membership in the /line ri can Society of Marw^lopists, but
had died before pHjfing his dues. It was for this reason
that 1 cfirefully irorded the statement that h« was ^listed
Bmorug the charter iRembers^ Instead of saying that he ims a
o^«!rter member*

It must bo admitted of course that he did very
little mammal work so far as publication is concerned,
though i believe he is to be credited vdth the collection
of much material in the Museum of the Canadian Geological
Survey.

1 hcfe no personal feeling in the natter, and,
aa already stated, wrote the notice by request as a sort of
interna tioni^i courtesy,

lour function as Sditor puts your rel/ition to it on

entirely m your hands.

Very truly ycurs.

Dear Grinnell:

Bill Hamilton, in his 'Sixty Years on the Pin ins %
mentions "fah PtflS" in the Fyrsmid I/jks and Careen Hiver
region (pp. 161, 165). The date ^ras 1844.

Have you any idea vhether the name Tas actually
in use at thst tine, or .'hetuer Ke inserted it yeerS after-
ward froB subsequent inform tion? fte point is this: the
n«i5 in its various lorin? rclot?u exclusively to the
aontham flute tribes of Utah and southern ReTada, Gfxd
does not seem to have heen applied to the northern tribes
until about 1850. It tos not U5»ed by [^Vemont. If in use
In 1844, Haniltwi's mention would be the earliest I have seen.

The Amerioen Alpine Club reconraends that a iftountain
in Glacier National Park be named in honor of the late Robert
IL Chapman, and sup^ests t^ro mountains as possibly available*
One of these is a peak just north of T?ro^ Pass between lake
Wurdenan and Logan Glacier; the other is due south of Fpper
Kintla lake, between Kintla Glacier and Af^assia Glacier.

Can you tell me if either of these bear Indian names

»,

and do you care -to make any recommendation in the "^tter?

With best fishes.

My dear Sir:

A few dajs after our talk at Tehai.fi last fall,

I wrote the Forest Service aaking if it would be possible
for jou to obtain holding is the Henderson Canyon part
of the Oalif omia National Forest.

It took a long ti«i for them to look the natter
up. and the. first reply did not contain a definite answer,
the second reply, dated April 26. 1920. state, that it would
not be practicable to set aside for your use a range lorge
enough to gra« a band of sheap on. for the reason t^t
practically all of the range is already allotted. They add
however that in case the Indian Office would purchase farming
land for the use of the Upper Tho«s Creek Indians, the Forest
Service would probably furnish sufficient su»«er range for
the number of sheep your fandng lands and winter range will

support*

On receipt of this letter I at once took the natter

^ with the Indian Office, and after some correspondence
they advised -e under date of Hay 26. 1920. that Kr. John J.
Terrell. for«erly in charge of the purchase of lands for
hceleet^ California Indians has been instructed to pro.ceed

Dear Grinnell:

Thanks for jour reply to my inquiries. I suspect
that mil Hamilton's use of the ter« 'tahJIifli' was the re«u:

of subsequent infoiTMtion.

In looking over the (>uarterly of the Oregon
Historical Society. 1 hare just noticed the Journal of
2. Willard 3«ith while with the fur-traders ^anque. and
Sublette in 1839.1840 (Oregon Society Quarterly. Vol. 14,

No. 3, pp. 250-279. September 1913).

Since SBith ««itio« "aHifllOfldiasar and since
posnibly yo. ^J not have seen the Journal, i thought that

i .vould call your attention to it. . ,,,u .

TJe hope to pull out for Califomia on the Utb or

not heard that you were to leave the Survey . and re^et v:;r7
much that this seems necessary, as ycu are the kind of Bf n ""'
that it is mighty hard to replace* But don't interpret t'^ir
as « criticism, for I am well aware that the poor pay of
Government positions makes it absolutely necessary for mny
of our ablest scientific men to accept more leinuner^ti re
positions elsewhere.

^en ycu took that autcanobile drive from Boonvill*!
to 'teterto^ra, you passed Leyden Hill (old pos toff ice Ix)cu?t
Grove) 5 miles south of Bconville, and one oHort ^il®
fartlier on you passed my grandfather's house, f -^ill staadir .
Had you looked to the left to the top of a hillcbcut an
eighth of a mile to the west, you would have pt'<n. mj
fetlier's place vThere I was raised.

Jackets Harbor has been a fatniliar naiw tt me
since ny early childhood, for the reason that ny pV«ndfacher^
General iSly Uerriam, was thero during the %r o^ 1B12.

Hy dear Beach:

Th^rjca for yours of the 4th Inst., just receired.
1 an glad to hear from you, and should l)e most pleased to
see you w'^ienever you are In this city.

1 thank you also for vour kind invitation to
lecture on birds before the Hartford Bird Study Club,
but regret to say that thia v;ill be impracticable. I am
setting out for California the last of this \reek, to be
gone till the end of the year, and shall be so OTerloeded
with fiold notes on Oalifomia Indians and other subjects
that it will be out of the question for rae to prepare a
bird talk.

If you will look back to the time we were together
in 3hef. you .?ill reoli.'.e that 1 am no longer young, and
that in order to publish a reasonable proportion of the
naterial I Iiave collected, it is absolutely necessary for roe

«

to stick to ray job and aroid side issues, for this reason

♦

I quit lecturing some years a^wo, and am dr>ing nothing of
the kind now except in the direct lines of my present work,
and than only under unusual pressure.

iith best wishes,

San Trancisco on the Pacific Limited, Mo. 19, at 2:30 F.H.
Thursday the 17th. If the train is on ti>w »e shall go
direct to San ^fael and drive »Susie» home. If the train

is too late to enable us to make it Thursday night, the
jjoss plans to guide us to your stately residence on the

ncuntain slope.

^e all of us appreciate your kind offer to "open"

the hpuse for us. if this did not mean a charwo»n»8 job.
.70 would t3ke you up. for v»e gre.- tly appreciate the
condition we found things in U^ last year.

Hoping to see you in the very near future.

As ever yours,

Bear OoTille:

Yo«.ir letter of th% 3d inst. reached me a day cr two
ago and caused aueh Badneee in the Merriaxn fBJsily, for we had
fully eoimted cm a Yisit from you during the fall.

Ifowever, we rejoice with yoo to learn that you are again the
father of a wonderful product, ihie ono measuring four-fifths
of an inch in diaawter. Wish you would try some of your wizard
tftonta on our coast speeies.

It is good also to know thrt a now locality for the box
huckleberry has been discoTored in Pennsyxvania*

I note with varied fe#Iii^s iriiat 3rou say about Abrams*
flora of the IVkcific States and am glad to know that tha first
of the threa propoaed Tolumes is approaching cmipletion. Bat
the financial difficulty is a serious one, and I do not see

exactly how it is to be met. I agree with you tlmt tlib thipg cu^t
to stand on ite own legs as an independent book rather than appear

in any serial. HowoTor, we cannot ftiways do as we wish in such

matters, and I personally am up against several problems of

the same kind.

The person I mentioned to you as interested in Pacific
coast botluny is ftpi a personal friend of mi?», bwt is intwested

in tha work of one of the California b.tamBte. fhsther or
not his interest and his pocketbook could be stretched to cover
the project uider consideration is another matter.

In view of the obyioua fact that no botanist can live
long enough to monograph all the varied groups of an area like
California, it would see« the part of wisdom to seciu-o the
wrqparation of specialists in sooe of the groups, as you suggest,
such in California Halt arnl Bastwood would seen to be preemnent.

With kindest regards to all of your family, in fl*iich

Itr. Edwin H. Stoodcmn,

Ct2rti« & Co. Mumfactiiring Co.,
St.Iouis, Ho.

Iff dear Sir:

On rotuming from a recent field trip I find your
letter telling me about your bear hunt on Alaska T^oninsul*. I
appreciate your generosity m offering to present your skulls to the
national collection at Washington. Wo shall, of coiirBe, be very gla(

to ha^o thea.

Replyii^ to your inquity about tJe species, it nay be
said that two quite distinct spoultfu of big > rown bear* t^mz^
throt^wot the entire length of Alaska PeniiiBi:^!^ — Ursus gyas and
Ureua kidAori. While both are large bears, the hidderi is the
sialler of the two, adult nales about equaling feamles of gyas.

Yen were extraordinarily fortunate in seeing so raany as
a faondred boar*. I supppM yoa found that the soaller bears
renrdless of species li^ft ih» feeding grounds when the big bears

approdiod*

Your quostion as to how such similar species keep
separate instead of interbreediJip; is a ttry natural one and one
difficult to Answer aexeept by the Ipiiieral statement that mtiire
abhors a hjrbrid. With various tpecies of mararaala as with ducks,
geese and snalXer birla of essentially the same size breeding
coanonly in tljs sasie localities, hybrids are of extrecB rarity.

[iT.;-

Probably you r\Q^%T saw one in the state of nature, and I never
did. Tinder unnatural conditions as in the soologlcal ^jirdens and
among woimded ducks, two distinct species sometimes interbreed.
But you can rwidily see that if wild birds or Dmnwals interbred
freely in a state of natiire there would soon be no such thing
as a species left. Account for it as we may, we must all
recognize the fact that wild species in the state of nature do not
interbreed.

You nwntion a narrow skulled bear killed by
Mr. Mallinckrodt . As a rule the Alaska Peninsula bears with
narrow skulls are imsature thou^ full grown. They may be six <:>t se^
years old but still not fully adult. It was a skull of this kind
which Dr. J. A. Allen of the American Masetsn described some years
ago under the name Ursus jerriami. But I do not recognize it a^ a
species, but merely an inmature specimen of Ursus gyas.

Ai^ observations you may have made on the feediiTg habits
or breedir^ habits of these bears wmild be of much interest to me;
Also any notes you may have made as to the stomach contents of
the bears killed by your party.

With many thanks for yoiur courtesy in the matter.

Yours very truly.

I acoidently dug it upo

I am glad to know that I W9.8 of even a little assistance

In the ma'^ter of the Paskeata Indians I stirred up the

D98J" Sir:

Yoiu* letter of June 20 has reached rao at lay auimer
base, laf^initas, CSsilif . I am very j^lad to hear from you again
and to have the additional inforaation you have contributed about
the bears of your region.

Unfortunately I carjaot answer your question as to who
has trained h9&r dogs for sale. I do not know an" of tnis kind
personally, but I know of two raen in this State who use bear dogs
in hunting black bear. Ihether or not they would sell any of thai
dogs, and whether or not dogs trained to hunt small black bear
would tackle the big grizzlies of Alaska I cannot say.

■ Yes, I have seen one or two cabins after the'-'^ had been
visited by hears, and the general aixup of flour, salt, fond and
clothirg was very audi ae you indicate.

You ask if I received a skull of a grizzly sent in about
January and killed by you Oct. 2G, 1919. Not h&vir^ ny boar cards
here, I cannot be sum until I return to Washirgton, bu*. I think
I have written you about all the skulls receivedc

With thanks for your trouble.

Very truly your a, ,

I wish to apologize for not replyir^ earlier arxi for not

is this, during the mr it was neceBsan/ to rnako room in

3,000, with ccnsociuert condensation of the ?4isa-jm material,

Dear Sir:

Your latter of July 2l8t iias been forwardad to rae from
lashington. Some of your questiona I will answer; othera I cannot
answer her© awaj froa ny library and other oaterials.

1. Several eub-Bpeeies of polar bears have been described
but I am not sure as to whether or not ary of then will stand.

2. Aa to species and sub-species of black bears J I re-
vised this groi^ some years ago, but have net t«k«n it up since.
We now have in our coliection about two thousaw^ skulls, and I
intend to make a critical study of them before finally publishii^
on the group. The grci^) as a idiole is quite dictirct from tliat of
the grizzly and big brown bears and io coraoDnly recognized as a
separate genus ©r sub-genus urjder the narae of Buarctos. The
forms eoQBDoaly recognized at present are luteolus cf the Gulf
States, f|gridfip!7B of the Peninsula cf Florida, aablycepB of
Arizona and New Mexico^ erend cue of Coahuila, Mexico and parte of
New It9sdc0, alti frontalis from the Coast Region of Wasliington

and QregoQ, and carlottae from Queen Charlotte Islands •

3e The South American bears are confined to the Aiidean

region and belong to a vory distinct ^enus.Tremarct os » Tliey are
smaller than our black bears and liave no known relatives nearer
thaji the fossil genus Arctcrtheriun which, however, differs in
many important characters anl are cf vory large size.

:%>

4e I cannot answer yci4r ciuection as to the number of
species of bears in Urasia^for the reason tiiat they have not been
revised and the material in our American imiBaiiiiiB ie insufficient
for the purpose. It is obvious, however, that the big bears of
Kavti^tka are quite distinct from the bro^Ti bear of l?^arope, llrsus

airctos.

5. Ursus iniddenclorffi ie distinct froni ths Asiatic bears

and also from all other foerican species aril is rostricted to

Kadiuk Island.

6.. You ask if the Syrian and Sun bear represent a distinct

group^I These two animals are different from one another. Ilie
Syrian bear beii« h laen^er 'of the restricted genus Ursus ^ while
the Sun bear of the Malay region belongs to an entirely different
genus, Helarctoe. The Sloth or Honey bear of India represents
still another genus. Me lursus.

No, i^ large work on the I/ears has not vet gone to press,
but I have published a review of the African big bears. It is
North Anerican Fauna No. 41, and you can probably obtain a copy
v„ »«^*4*«r ♦;.* <^i^r nf f.h« Biolcrrical Survev at Washir^on for it.

Tlie Separates of my naniaal papers are in Washir^-ton. If
you will write me there in January' or February I can prorably send
you copies of ny Revision of the Pumas and several other papers.
I am now sending you two or three bear publicationB cf which I
happen to have duplicates here in California.

four animals (horses or niiles. or both) with an Indian packer sent
down from Hoopa in%.ina to set out from ymu- place on the momir^

gineer, son of the Teteran geologist. G.K.Gilbort. Re and the
packer and I make three, calling for three saddle animals with sad
dies. And we shaU need one pack animal to carry beds and grub,
making 4 animals all told. We expect to go light.

I am counting on you and the Indian to direct me to any
Indians who may lite in the country between Burnt Ranch and South
Fork Salmon. For, besides ny natural history wor^ I an tryii^
to imp the various Indian tribes of the State. Indians living
near Forks of Salmon told me last year that there were still a
few Indiana «n «pper New Wver or some of its tributaries. You
will know about them I hope.

Have recently returnea from an auto field trip throivgh

curved ar^ twisted almost beyond belief, but also so narrow that
the car is scratched on both sides by projecting branches.

• Could not have made it with the old ear-too big and heavy,
but the new one has no endrf power and is short enuf to make the

Have now driven her over 1700 miles,
fl^ad poor luck with Indians, they being either dead or

Daar }br Steedraan:

VlBinY thanks for your latter of August 25, which T found
on returning a few daj^s ago from an auto trip up the coast and ^
through the great redwood forests.

Your statement that the long narrow skull is that of a
very old bear interests me f?;reatly, and I look forward in the hope
of having an opportunity to cor^are it with the others, and with
some of the big skulls from Alaska Perdnsula in our collection.

I am writing Mr Mallinckrodt by this inail in the hope
that he will present the skull to the National )iuseum, or at least
loan it to me for examination. But not knowing his address, T am
taking the liberty to ask you to forward it to him.

ReplyiiTg to your i^uestion about the species of the cubs,
would say that if their mother is fully adult I coula in all prob-
ability determine the species from her skull. I have done this
before in several cases.

I hope rar Ifcirgatroyd ^ill tag the skulls of your bears
so there may be no QT^^dtion as to their identity when they arrive.
In a similar c^**© several years ago it was impossible to identify ^
the skulls, one of wliich was of unusual interest. J

Your description of the male bear killed by ¥tb. Steednan
indicates tliat it was Ui'sus kidderi , while the big males killed were'

Mr Luther Goldman of the Biological Survey writes me that
you do a good deal cf traveling in the Tanana and other parts of
interior Alaska, and that you might like to collect some skulls of
Grizzly Bears « I want to get a number more of skulls of fully adult
Grizzlies, particularly old males, from tliat region, arid pay fair
prices for thera. Mal^e are worth considerably more than females,
arid old skulls are worth much more than young* For skulls of old
males in good condition I will pay 10 dolleurs each; for females
about 6 doll6urs.

Sach skull should have a tag tied to it, and on the tag
should be written the name of the locality where the Bear was killed,
and also the sex and approximate date if knofti, and your 0TO_name.

Skulls should be carefully wrapped and packed to prevent

damage in transit, and each package should be addrasBed:

Of all the skulls received this year, not one approaches
thd8« in in^jortance. And it is especially gratifying to know that
you got adult raales. I arc inpatient to see them, but of course
cannot until ray return to Washington in the late fall.

And I shall look forward also to an accoimt of the details

to have you for, neighbors before, we are too old to tramp the hills.

ibout the middle of July I turned in lay old big Chefrolet

and bought a Baby drand— the largest they make now. Have driven
it over 1700 ndles and like it ouch. It is not imich for speed, but
has wonderful power on both hi^ and second and is an ideal moun-
tain car, tJid roony ennf for ciBip outfit.

Have only today learned that Ilton Clark did go to Lituya
Bay, and that he got several big aale bears there, and that their
■kullff are now in the Biological Survey collection. I an most
ii^»»tient to see them. This is the record catch for 1920 sure.

Am packii^ now to start on another field trip day after
tomorrow. Shall drive north to Huinboldt Bay and thence tip over
the mountains easterly to Trinity River, where I have arranged to
be mat by an Indian with horses or mules for the high rats beyond.
Izpect to be back here by the end of the month.

Have not heard from Nelson, but he thought he would reach
California about the first of October.

John C. Merriam and family spent a night with us just be-
fore we started on the laslj+.rip. He goes east tomorrow.

Having no stenographer this season I am constantly behind.

With love from all of us to all of you, and hoping you

all are well and the children having lots of fun and plenty to eat,

AI ever yours.

Dear Ulss CleniQmca:

On returning from a fruitful and somendiat difficult
trip to Humboldt Bay, Mad RiYer^ Rmiwood Creak and Trinity
Rirer I was happy to find your letters of the 12th and 17th
inst^ awaiting paruaal. Glad you had a pcAceful Biirraero

It is good to know that Dr* Coy^s Gruide to the C5al-
ifomia County Ardiitea is publi shade I had not hecu^d of it
and ahall ba obligad if you will kindly order a copy*

Your suggestion to have the cailir^ in Bay room rapai red
befora ny return strikes me most favorably^ and I shall ^#
obliged if you ¥d 11 have it attended to. Probably you will feal
it necessary to ba on hand most of the tima while the woric is
b»iiTg dons ^ich will be sorwthing of a nuisance.

It is good to know that yott have beam able to avoid the
bugbear of house huntir^, and that you are pleasantly situated
for the winter.

You say nothing about forwao'ding the Sceor^e vooabulary
I asked you for, and as it has not arrived, I am led to suspect
that you overlooked that pwrt of my letter.

Zenaida says that she wrote yon about ten days ago, so
that your Utters doubtless crossed in the nail.

This last trip was a severe one in several respectSo I
drove the car about seven hundrt,d miles, of which the northern
part was over sotne of the nonf. Miffir-ni* ».^ow<, ,-« ♦u^ .

milen and miles of very steep grades running from twenty-eig^t
to thirty-five perc«it over the high mountains betwe«n
Huiriboldt Bay and Redwood Chreek and between Redwood Creek and Trinity
River; and we made this part in a poiu*ii^ rain ovfr wtddy,
slippery, water washed roads, both tip an down the steep slopes.

The Forest Service has blasted out the beginni/^ of a
new road hi^ up on the precipitous south wall of the canyon of
Trinity Hirer whidi may be coop let ed next year. This enabled
me to actually drive ny car to a point a little b^ond Burnt
Randi where the road is about a thousand feet above the River.
¥e (Ardi Gilbert arxi l) «et out up Hew River with a pack out-
fit of four mules, crosairig Trinity River on a narrow wire
Buepension bridge some six hundred feet long and about eigi:it
hundred feet above the River, As the bridge is none too strong
and sways sidewaj*^ and up and down we had to lead one imile over
at a tira»» From the far end of the bridge the narrow trail con-
tinues rifling on the face of the cliffs xmtil alonf; the lower
part of tiie deep chasm of New River it attains an altitude of
about two thoueejxi feet a^ove the Rivero

Howavfc^r, we got throu^ safely and found the sole siu-
vivor of the Qie-mr^re-ko tribe (the coi-rect spelling ard pro-
nunciation by our method). From her I obtained a very epod
vocabulary, which yon will agree with ne ^as worth all it

cost to get.

On the ^vay out I visited the sole -eminng rftnchereH

of the'Hwilkut Tribe, ch^ckir^ nr; former vocalulary and obtain-

ir^ a consid^rarde qua-tity of additional .mterial.

surely are glad to hear from you and to know that you will be
here by the 8th or 10th /cf next rrK)nth» But we su^e not goir^ to
let y ou rush off in a hurry. If you have time enou^ to stay
over- at PortlaiMi for an Audubon meetir^, you suraly have time for
a reasonable visit here, especially aa tliere are plenty of field
obBiervatiofiE' to be made both here and at Clear LakOo

But if Vernon stops lor^ enough Bt Klamatr Falls to catch

I I would like mistily to join hla on that trip ^to the
Modoc cav<Mft, but fear it will be irapracticaV^Ie, as I must -start
on anoth4r.* field trip aa soon as the notes from the last trip are

croaeed the narrow Trinity chaam on a narrow swlr^i^ foot bridge
about ail hundred feet above the water, leading one oule over at
a time. The trail thence north up New River skirt. the edge of
the cliffs from one to two thousand feet above the Ri ver, but we
got ihat we went for and are hocie safe and soi.nd. Will tell yo«
more about it later.

I m icvnensely glad to have those Piute and Wftsco vocab-

Piute material, including their naoe for themselves.
Sons years ago I had a little correBfondeBc e with Tk. Morrison
of the Humey country arjd had heard timt he waa dead; but I did

Herewith I am enciosing ny oJ^enso account for Septentoer,
amounting to $165.30, along with five other vouchers, a* per accon-
paisying list, which I shail be obliged if yon will kindly iB.y as
u«ual from the Harrioan fund.

Had a rather let^re trip north .crosairg the high moimt-
aina between Huraboldt Bay and Trinity Rir«r to Burnt Ranch over
dreadfully ateep alippery grades in a pourir^ rain. Then left
the car at a ranch and with ao Indian packer and mules crossed
Trinity River Oaryon on a narrow a^.'lngir^ wire suspension foot
bridge about 800 feet above the water, and climbed the high cliffs
walling in the narrow gorge of New River to a htigjit of about two
thousand feet directly over the river on a trail blasted out of
the face of the cliff and so narrow that a mule had to be packed
with his load on top— no room for side packs. A misstep would
have landed man or animal at the bottom of the chasm a couple of
thousand fe«t below.

But I got what I went there for- -a good vocabulary and
other material from the last living remmnt of the Cheraariko tribe.

On th« way cut, visitad the Ust of the 30 odd villageB

1^ dear Sir:

On returning from fi«ld wwpk along the northwest coast and
in the mountains between Humboldt Bay and Trinity Hiter I find your
intereeting letter of Sept. 25, for iwiich I thank you very much.

• ■

BearB^ in cocmon with muiy other carniYcrous izBinnalfi^ have
a layer of op#n bone tissue comnonly called cancelluB or haneftomb
between the brain cavity and the frontal arch of tha skuU. In
bears the vertical thickness of these chambers or sinuses increases
with ag« until the bear is probably fifteen or twenty years old,
after which it decreases somewhat. In the adult males of some
•pottios ii la ffluio tJmn an indi in vertical height above the anterior
part of the brain case «o that bullets mi^t pass througji it in

several directions without iiilling the animal.

I think your guides were ri^t Jn the belief that if a side
or quartering shot were avaiUble the butt of the ear would be the
surest (rfiot to reach the brain. This, however, would daxasge the
skvill considerably for which reason I have usually reconrcended neck
shots. A shot «dH»d a little above the middle of the neck just
behind tlie back of the skull ii almost certain to hit one of the

cervical vertebrae injuring the spine Bt) that the aniftsal >8 paralizdd
if not kili«d outri^t.

1 have no bdar skulls here at Legunitas and therefore rejsret *

that I am unable to answer positively your question as to whether an
eys shot, the b4kur looking straight at yon, would reach the brain.
If ray memory serves me correctly, however, the result of the shot
would depend a good deal upon whether the bear iNere above or below
the level of the person firing the shot. If the bear were at a
lower level so that the bullet would ran^e down, I think it would
pass under the brain, and if ^iirected toward the median line would
shatter the cervical vertebras at trie base of the neck, thus killing
the animal instantly i but if the bear were at a soraewhitt higher lev«l
I am not sure whether the ball would or would not toucli the brain.
I will answer this question more def irately after examining skulls.
In any event, however, you of course realize that a very sli^t
difference in the anple at which the head was held in relation to the

hunter would make all the difference in the world as to th» oiact

course of the ball.

I wish to thank you very ranch for your r,enorcuB offer to
present the skull of yoiu* big bear to our national collection and
shall look forward with much interest to the privilegs of exaidning
it. Ihen you have done with it, kindly have it securely packed to
ia*event breakage in transit and ship by express, charges collect,
addressed to U. S. Biological Survey, Dei)artment of Agriculture,
Washir^ton, D.C. Kindly tie a tag to the sknll, giving your nane
and also the locality and approximate date of killing of the tear.

Thanking you for your courtesy in the ma+-ter, and rogrettin^

Dear Mr. Spern^^:

Yoiir letter of October 22 av/aited my retvirn from a field
trip up the northwest coast. I am very glad to hear fro{/> you ejid
shall be daligjited to meet you and talk over the matter of the
preservation of the redwoods alor^ the highway to Humboldt Bay. I
have recwitly loade four auto trips alor^ this hig^xway, carr^^irig nirhtf^
in tVie redwood forests.

I was very glad to learn from Dr. J. C. Iferriam tnat you ar^
actively interested in the preservation of the redwoods alorg the
highway, and that you really are at the helm of the association for
this purpose:.

Many years ago when ri siting the Calaferus Grrove with John

r I had several pleasant and instructive talks with your Father
and Sister, botdi of whom I rmrtowber verj^ well.

Just now I am anxious to make two or three mere field trips
in the North before the bad weather sets in. On returning from
these and before leaving for the souliiBrn part of the State I will
connect with you by letter or phone arii try to arrange a meeting-
It wouIg be fine if yoM worJd motor out hare to or^r surnmer home at
Lagurxitas as you si^^est.

Mr. John Jonas,

Dsar Sir:

Your letter of October 11, forwarded from Washington, has
just reached me^ I find also a memorandum from the Biological
Survey to the effect that the skull of the grizzly you mention
was received in good condition except for a hole cut in the
base of the brain case, probably to aid in extracting the brain.
This is most unfortunate, as it materially lessens the valua of
the skull. However, I will pay you fifteen dollars for it, a

check for which amount tail be sent you from the Smithsonian
before the middle of NovenJ^er.

I am still glad to purchase skulls of adult grizzly bears,

thou^ owing to shortage of funds am not able to pay so much for

thew as formerly.

Very truly yours.

Dear Mr Adams:

Yesterday, after tiiree and a half months futile effort,
I finally succeeded in selling the old car--the ChaYrolat Big-6 of
1913. But I got only $325 for her, arKi k^VX) of tnis is in the
form of proBdsary notes.

fhen I first cffermi her for sale, the middle of July,
I asked $650 for her. Next month I offered to take $450, as I
wrote you on A\igu8t 17, but could find no purchaser, the* I tried

in Oakland as well as in San Francisco.

*

So yesterday I accepted $325- -the only offer I have ever
had. Of this I paid $5 cash on account of the battery, leaving $320
as the actual amount to be divided. Half of this, $160, I an en-
closing herewith, in the form of check on tho National Metropoli-

tan Bank of Washinprton.

Dear Doctor Whlcott:

«

TharJcB for your letter of the 9th instant jn r«A;ard to
the mtter of rooms. I am nof. at all surprised at what vou sav
about the already overcrowded condition of the Smithsonian and
National J&iseum braidings, since for years I hjive Dean taraliar
with the complaints of the various Ourato:'B that thev were nadlv
in need of more apace.

At the sane time it is a pity that more than a thousand
dollars of the Harriraan Fund must be spent in a sir^le year for
room-rent alone when the work in hand is handicapped for money.

«

During the season nov* comirir; to a close I have liad rather
remarkahle success in locating; and workin,^ with the laat remnants
of several tribes I haii not before encountered^ Two of these are
now represented by only a siri^le BurviYor. I traveled nore than
four hundred iriles in search of one of these without finding him,
but got hira on the next trip. Another was an old woman for whom
I crossed two rtiountain ranges ?n rain and rrad. But I finally p^ot
her ajid she i^as pure f^oldl

I noTv have vocabtilarias and distribution .'mps-'-sona of
which need correcting and ampb fy?n/^--cf aJ] the iiripa^ij^ti c stocks
and distinct tribes Known to exint in California and Nevada, nore
than 100 in number* This was not done in a dav but is a res^iJt of
thirty v^arn of field work.

Dear J.C:

f

We all were glad to hear from you and to know +Jmt yo\i
were located for the winter so near our place • And we were also
glad to learn that you have a new model 3iuck 7-pa8sei^er car. This
will enable you to escape the bad air in overcrowded street cars
and at the saiae time teropt you to take time for drives in the parks
and surrounding country when the weather is fair- -as it is a good
part of the tirae at Washington, even in winter.

♦ I have kept on nay job rather steadily and have alreeM5y

i

driven the new Chevrolet Baby Grand more than 3600 miles. The
rains came unexpectedly early this year and I was caught on steep
iBOuntain grades in slippery mud before putting the chains aboard.

During the past 12 days nore than a foot of rain has fal-
len at lagunitas, 5.65 inches of which came down on a single day.

Kvers'' morning when home I chop down and cut up 2 or 3
trees for fireplace fuel- -good exercise for an old nmn!

We did not expect to return east before the erni of the
year, but if the rains continue it will hardly pa^^ to stay, as I
am too old to enjoy campi?^ in rain and coldo

Elizabeth and Zenaida join in love to you all, not for»

^ettir^ the boys.

As ever yours,

When we met in Washington last spring I expressed the

I an in the field a good deal of the time, but the man at the Lag-

Your latter of Nov. 16 is most oncouraging. It is good
to know that you, aa Chaiman of the Cixnaittee on Research of the

National Geograiduc Society, have acconqpli shed what I have urged in
vain for many yeara- -namely, the decieion to publish a series of
Research papers, distinct from the Magazine , to provide for the
technical results of the Society's doii^s. This surely is an
accoopli shoent worthy of congratulation.

Replyir^ to your specific questions, vay judgment is:

1. That the Memoirs should he numbered consecutively, each

beginning with page 1, as in the case of the Proceed-
ings of the lashington Acadeo^ of Sciences^

2. That the size of the page agree with that of the Proceed-

ingp or the Journal oC the Acadengr— in other words that

it be lax^e octavo. Personally, I like the page of the
Proeeedii^s, which I adopted after much study.

3. That the text be in single column. To justify double col-

umn would mean qiiarto— an iiwonvenient size, hardly cal-
led for except in the case oljvery large illustrations.

4. That the type be essentially that of the Proceedings of the

Academy, leaded for technical matter, not leaded for in-
troductory and popular matter.

5. That both plates and text figures be allowedi details left

lo Bditor.

Dear Mr Law: '

Peplying to your letter of the 3d inais.:
The affairs and business of the National Geographic Society
are in the hands of a Board of 'knagers the members of which
are arranf-ed in three groups, one of which is elected each
year, so that at least two thirds of the members have served
at least one year.

For twenty years or more the loa+ter of dividii^ the mem-
bership at large into two claa8eB--tec}ir«ical and popular--b-as been
brought up for consideration, but so far as I an aware has never
been done. While such a division would have certain advantages,
it would inevitably suffer the di sadvantngos of creatir^ wounded
feolii^ on the part of many members, would be exceedingly diffi-
cult of carrying out because of the intrinsic difficulty of draw-
ing hard and fast Iine8--line8 that would keep out Smith and take
in Jones- and because such a procedure wasdeemed unAmerican.

Yestorday afternoon we had a roaring thunder storm with
a gale of wirrf ar^ a deluge of water--lf inches in a little over

and followed it down to the home of old Professor Allen, whence we
turned back and climbed to Indian Henry Hunting; Ground, our last

Yours of Dec. 28 cane last ovoning and wa« most welcome
to the entire fainlly. H is a long time since we have had any
news worth mentioning from Washingt.on and we are glad to know what

you tell us.

I congratulate you that you are done with the Appropria-
tions Coaoiittee so early in the winter, though I realize that the
prosrtit arrangement is less favorable than the old. But I am sur-
prised to hear you call the Hearing "an ordeal". For me it always
was a dreaded ordeal, but for you I imagined it peaches and creaml

No. we are not going to stay here several weeks y*fc; in
fact we have already begun to pack and H 0 P S to pull out in a week
or at most ten days. There are lots of tarmnal things to do here
this year. For instance: for the first time we ran out of cut wood
B«ans that the old man has had to chop a lot of trees and saw

atad snlit and pad^ in.

I kept on in field work till driven kome by the heavy
rains of November, since which Pve been vainly hoping for a let-up
so I could finish a job or two in the north. But ifs no use for
it rains nost of the time and the roads off from the highways are
in no condition for a well-bred car. Besides, camping in the rain
for people of our age does'nt see. to woric oat very «tti.factorily.

Perhaps ^o^ do'nt know that ri^t here at lagunitas we
have already had more than 33 inches of rainfall this winter-about
3 times as mch as at San Francisco. And since I never did Uke
,«ding or skidding in the imid. Tve given it up and am closing for
the trip east.

Dear Orinnell:

Thanks for yotir good letter of Deceribor 29, just receiYsd.
Wa often think of yon, and I should have written to tell you about
the season* s work, but have had no stenographer.

I have been nd^ty fortunate this season in pickiiTg up
vanishing resnants, and Ead planned a couple of months Riore of
active field work yAien cau^t by the rains. At first they were
hailed with joy-- just what the country needed--bwt vrtien they kept
on day after day and week after week, with just a little sunshine
between tiimB, cooping in the field lost its chanos and we stayed
hone and waited--for the general clear-up that neyfer cane.

And now we are beginning to do the terndbnal thii^s prepat-
atcry to startir^ for Washir^gton.

We all are pained to learn that Mrs (rrinnell has been so
ill, but rejoice that she is now well again.. Sorry we shall not be
in Washington in time to see her.

I an net surprised at irfiat you tell me about the attecpt
to push irrigation headquarters into Yellowstone Park. Several mem-
bers of the Rouse Connittee on Appropriations were in favor of it
when I met them in Yosendte early last July.

You will be glad to know that I have finally succeeded in
obtainii^ vocabularies (first hand of course) from all the linguis-
tic stocks and all the principal tribes of California and Nevada.
Years ago I learned to ask old Indians about Indians speaking dif-

Daar Mr Adams:

For some tima I have been intendirg to write you concern-
ing the half-and-half arrangement adopted by roe in paying certain
automobile expenses:

In the case of both cars- -the original Chevrolet bi^6
purchased in 1913, cmd the Chevrolet •Baby-Grand" purchased last
July — half the cost was charged against the Ilarriman ?ttnd and half
paid by me personally. I did this in order that I might feel free
to use the car at times for family purposes. And in 19 15( Exposi-
tion year) I used the old car several times to take parties of visit-
ing scientific men on drives in this region. Apart from this and a
few trips of my family to Sausalito ferry or San Francisco, and a
few trips to a dairy last year for mi Ik, neither car has hmen used
for personal purposes. During the present year for example, the
new car has been driven 4072 miles to date, of which 176 were per-
sonal and 3896 official. And T have paid personally for much more
gas than used on personal trips.

All permanent equipment I have paid for half-and-half , but
repairs and garage charges on official trips I have charged to the

fund.

In sending you $160 on November 4 as half the sale price

of the old car, I forgot to state that the purchaser was S. H. Powell

af the Keystone Garage, 843 Mission Street, San Francisco. He has

not yet msde the final payment.

Very truly yoixrs,

Dear Ibr Watson:

Califo

For aorao waeks I hava bean hoping to nee you Sunda.yCj but
fear you do not care for La^imtas in winter.

I wanted to walk over our roads with you to point out pla-
C.8 i*i«r» tons of earth have been gradually washed out until now the
roftdhed is BBI/Jf the level of the side ditchl From Rizen*s hill
westerly for stwie distance water has heen pouring over (across) the
road for more than two months- -erer since the heavy rains of the
siiddl^ of Noveciber. And there are numerous other stretches neeurlj
as bad. Some of these places are so slippery as to be mighty near
the daqp^r line for passin^^ cars. T dorrt mean for two cars to pass
one another, but for a car to keep in the road.

Several times I have spoken to Marti nelli about this, but
he seems to "be too busy with his fern or huckleberry work to give
the roads wcj attention, and I have been obliged to bring in a n&n
from Woodacre to fix nf own road.

!)0 lauch earth and gravel has been washed nifty that we are
rapidly approachir^— if not already arrived at— a condition that will
cost several hundred dollars to restore. The present condition is
not creditable to the intelligence of the people of Lagunitas, and
it is a positivft injury not only to those of us nfeo live here, but
also by giving the place a bad nanie so that visitors are afrafd to
coni9 hwre*

If Martinelli will not keep the roads from washing away,
and if there is no one else at Lagtinitas to do the work, whv not
grat a man from oiitside--as ! have been obliged to do?

The question naturally arises, ihat are we paying noney
itito the Treasun/ of our f>lub for if not to keep the roads' in order^

^at has become of our ?oad conroittee'

The present policy seems to he to shut both ayes to the
steady constant road wash and waste that is going on all the tjrne
throu^out the winter, and then in the sprjnc sp.nd a few dollars
in repairing what is left of the sunken roadbed. This means that
we are piling up trouble and expense for the near future.

It seems hardly worth idiilc to say that first of all the
roads should be properly drained to prevent finisher wash, and that
the draining should be followed by replacing the lost material as
rapidly as possible. At present a great deal of gravel is needed.

Your place is so far down the slope thpt J fear you do not
r^lize nfcat has taken place on the upper roads.

For you Mist realize that nr.- life^loas training in the st^idv of geo-
graphic distribution has made it necessary for me to know most of
the species of mar^la, Mrds. reptiles, and trees and shrubs-be-
Bides himdreds of other plants-of the western parts of America from
the Mexican boundary to the Arctic ocean. And since no other eth-
nologist possesses this knowledge, the others lack the foundation
and groundwork for much that I am gettii^ from Indians. Besides,
ray personal reUtions with Indians are such that they freely tell
me tilings that few are able to get. But it is already late even-
ing of the day for this kind of work for the reason that the last
roanants of many tribes are droppir>g off every year.

You may be interested to know that after working in the
-^th California and Nevada Indians for about twenty-five years
I have this year succeeded in securing vocabulary and other material
froa the last of tiie remaining tribes, so that I now have in ray own
handwriting, and in a single consistent system of notation, vocabur
laries and important historic and natural history data from all the
linguistic stocks and all the principal tribes of California and Nev-
ada- -more than a himdred in nuober.

Is this not worth doing'

Before corcng to Washington in 1885 I had published my
»Birds of Connecticut •(187?) and •Maranals of the Adi rondacks ' f 1882-
1884) and was anbitious to prepare a'Handbook of the Jfemals of North
America.' with this object in view (and having saved some money in '

the practice of medicine and 8urger3r in northern New York), I employ-
ed several marinal collectors , securing specimens from the upper
Mississippi Valley, the Dakotas, Utah and California. These yielded
several new specios, which I descn'hod- 3e]i«vinc- th^.t practically

1

CDW 3

all the species were then described or in colXectionstl have since
described more than 500^ besides a mimber of new genera/^ I set about
wHting the descriptions, a genus at a time, for the "Randbooke''

Then began a period of unprecedented activitj'' in the col-
lecting fiind studj'' of normals, resulting in the di8cover3^ of so many
new species that I was farced to write all raj^' descriptions over again.
During the following years I re-wrote ni^^ Handbook three times » and
then laid it on the shelf to await the approximate completion of the
disoatery of new species and the deterni nation of their ranges. That
time has hardl^ yet arrived.

In the meantime I continued studies in the geographic dis-
tribution of animals and plants^ and began the collection of mater-
ial to admit of a study of the North American Bears o And at the
same time, when in the field, as opportunity offered, collected from
Indians a series of vocabularies of the various tribes of Califor-
nia and Nevada, with additional material in the fields of ethno-
zoologj^ and ethno-botany, and also data on the early history of the
Pacific Coast region. All of these studies have been continued
to ta e present time, and have, gone on sijaultaneously.

It is easy to say that I should r^ave concentrated and pub-
lished on one^ ajnd then taken up another. But the material did not
admit of this- -it has all been accumulating gradually and at the same
time. And I have always had a horror of going off half«cocked--of
putting out results that would soon be stale from the accuntilation
of additioiml material. And it might be added, if necessary, that
at present, and for a couple of years past, publication of an^^thing
elaborate was and is out of the question because of the expense.

In factjj all expenses riave increased to such a ^^^^^v^^ tliat
for the past seven months I have had no stencrrapher •'^ycopt for a

few .Sundays, and have no assistant except Miss Cleeence, working: on
a special job in Wiashington.

But daylight is hreakin£r a:iead and the end of several long-
period studies is in sight. I am still in vigorous health and feel
reasonably sure of completing some pieces of work that appear to me
to be worth while.

Is it better to publish prematurely a lot of half final
studies that are bound to become obsolete, or wajt till enough mater-
ial is at hand to admit of authoratative and reasonably final results

And is it better to concentrate ar^i give one's whole tin©
to the study of material that is constantly increasing and which
others can elaborate equally well, or to keep abreast of the situa-
tion in natters of this kind and at the saae time take advantage of
the Ust opportunity to secure vanishing data of permanent historic
and ethnic value yihich otherwise would be lost forever?

I an leaving for Washington this week and will take your

the propoeed change of name of Grand Eivar in Colorado and
Utah to Colorado River, wuld aay that the matter ^«
bron^t to the attention of the U. S. tioographic Board at

Board preferring not to report on the subject until snch

time «9 the legislatures of the two States concerned.

Colorado and Utah, in case they agree. sheU hare taken

conourrwt or similar action in the matter.

It may be stated however that the name Colorado

RiTer haa been rarely if erer applied to the Grand Hiirer

branch, while for a long period it was in common use for

the Green.

Dear Mr. Wywan:

Your letter of Jenu ry 26th has
just arrived. In response to yotir reouest I have looked up
the correspondence in relation to the so-called Bichardaoa
Grizzly akoll.

A possible qnestion arises m to >*ioh of two skulls
you Btan. In 1912 I receired as a loan fro» Walter L.
Biohardson of Fasadea&.the skia with skull atUohed of a
Grizzly killed by hi» in Tejnnga Caiiyoa in the San Gabriel
MovntaiB*. This speoia^u (skin and skull) appears to hare
been returned to Mr. Biohardson direct on or about August 7,
1912, as you will see f ro« the enclosed copy of a letter
written to Mr. Biohardson on August 6th of that year.

speciaen at the time I receiTed and returned it
had not been presented to your Museua but was the personal
property of Mr. Biohardson. I think I hare heard that it
was since presented to the Musem. but I m not quite sure
about this. ^

There was another sicull however sent ae by the lite

the so-called Sualand Grizzly, ftis was in 1916. Through
a deliberate fraud on the part of the taxidermist to whoa
the speciaen was sent, the original skull was withheld and
the skull of a small Polar bear substituted therefor. The
skull sent me by Mr. Daggett in the belief that it came from
the Sunland Grizzly was the skull of the Polar bear. This
skull I returned to Mr. Daggett on January 25. 1917. as you
will see from the enclosed copy of a letter of that date.
Do not the two enclosed letters clear the matter up
80 far as I am concerned?

Very truly yours.

P. So'^Since writing above I find in the Ni^tional Museum
a Grizzly skull received without label froa Mr. Daggett.
The bone is marked in one place ^h 140", and also "D 227".
Will you kindly look in your catalogue and let me have the
record? Is it the skull you refer to?

Dear Dr. Walcott:

Referring to your letter of
February U concerning the deficit incurred by the Academy
m the publication of its Proceedings and calling for con-
tributions, would say that I am herewith enclosing my
check for fifteen dollars as mj mite.

It seens strange that the Publication Coinnittee
should involTe the Academy in so heavy a debt. Personally
I nerer farored the publication of the Proceedings, as it
adds pnother to the already great multitude of places in
which scientific papers are scattered. However, so long
as the Academy decided to publish, I responded last year
to the appeal of the Publication Committee by subscribing
to an additional copy,

Dr. W. T. Homaday

Director New York Zoological Park

Dear Dr. Bomaday:

The January number of the Zoological
Society Bulletin reached me this morning a»d I read it from
cover to corer while in bad - where I am rapidly recovering
. from an operation for hernia.

I congratulate you on this number of the Bulletin. It
seems to ne the most interesting of any yet issued — and
that is saying a good deal.

And I am glad that you came right out and told the world
about Bllis Joseph and A. K. Haagner. Such men deserve tri-
butes of this kind, but rarely get them. The photograph of
Joseph shows him to be just the kind of a man you say he is.

I was glad to read your article on Zebras, Ditmar's on
Ceratodus, Crandall's on Buropean Zoological Gardens — and
in fact the whole number*

The picture of the Great Ant-eater is splendid, ai^ I
congratulate you on having so fine an individual in your
remarkable collection.

With best wishes ,

Very truly yours,

Dear Sirs:

The accompanying letter and transfer are probably
all right, but I deem it proper to make the following expla-
nation.

Several months ago a man by the name of Harrison, then

foreman of the CheTrolet Service Station in San Francisco
offered to find a purchaser for me for my big Chevrolet car.
Engine No. C 178, made in 1913. and bearing the 1920 License

No. 410-614.

I therefore turned the car over to him and signed the
transfer form.leaving blrnk the name of the person to whom
sold. Some time later Harrison sold the car to a man named
3. H. Powell, mechanic in the Keystone Gprage on Mission
Street. Powell asked me for the transfer and 1 told hint I
had given it to Harrison , who apparently lost it. Powell has
paid me for the car and i gave him a bill of sale.

A few days ago I received the enclosed letter from
P. B. Snook of 212 Sixteenth Ave., San i'Vancisco, forwrrded
from my summer place at Lagunitas.

Snook states that he bought the car from Powell and

<t

sold it to F. W. Igel of Sunnyvale — which I have no reason
to d*oubt — and enclosed the accompanying transfer slip, which

Dear Sir:

Lest s'limrrer ^nd fs:ll it y^us n^y privilege to drive

my car four tiinep ovsr the Highway from Russian River to the

Coast ♦ I hope you have yourself made this trip^ as other-

wise you can hardly appreciete the grandeur and soienmity

of the Redwood ?OTe%iB along the ;vayc

I was apppallod to find that limroerirg operations had
already begun in several of the groves, and was deeply ii?»-
pressed by the very real danger of the dept Miction of these
magnificent forests > the like of vvhich are not to be found
in any other part of the world. This means »a5? you well
know, the iiwnediate transformation of one of the grandest
and most imposing scenic routes in ihe world into scenes
of utter desolation*

i em aw^ro of the efforts of the Redwood League to
save the magnificGnt forests ^long the High^vay for the
benefit of the many thousrnd^' of people who tra^srse tne
Highway every year. But it if? cbvious that only a small
fraction of the funds necessary for thoir purchase can be
raii=!ed bv private subsre*Diion hoforr it Ib toe iRte,

business inve-tmeat for the Stftte. since there can be no
question thi^t the pri^ijege of driving through thesa wonder-
ful and unique forests fittracte ii>oton«tc fro.n ell ports of

Col# J* A. McGuire
Editor Outdoor Life
Denver, Colorado

Dear Colonel McGuire:

Replying to your letter of

February 25 concerning the size of Cougars, would say that

your friend Crossland evidently bases his statements on the

exaggerated recollections of some of the older inhabitants.

As a matter of fact I quite agree with you in the belief that

a ten-foot Cougar never lived.

At all events, the animal cf the Adirondacks and mountains
of Pennsylvania, Pali a couguar. was one of the smaller species,
never attaining anything like the dimensions of the Rocky Moun-
tain animal. Ealia hippolaates. And the largest males of the
latter are not known to exceed a length of nine feet ~ and
this, if ever actually attained, is far above the average.

In my Revision of the Pumas (published in the Proceedings
of the Washington Academy of Sciences. Vol. 3. pp. 577-600.
DeCt 1901) I say of Felis hlppPlMteSt^'Size largest of the
known members of the group^; and add concerning the largest of
the twelve killed by Roosevelt in Colorado. ''One male is a
giant, and has the largest skull of any Puna I have seen, sur-
passing eren the type specimen of Pelig hippolftstfla from the
Wind Rirer Mountains of Wyoming. ' In the flesh, this aninal

measured 8 feet in total i «««*». *

m total length from nose to tip of tail, and

waighed 227 pounds"

In the first part of n.y M™als_of the^/dirondacks, pub-
lished in 1882,1 state: "In the .dirondaoks, it is ar, uncom-
-nly la,^. Panther that measures eight feet f^. the end of
Its nose to the tip of its tail, and an unusually hea.y one
that weighs a hundred a«i fifty pounds. 3tiU, on the 15th
Of February. 1877. Mr. Verplanck Col.in. Superintendent of the
idxrondaok Surrey, shot a male on Seventh Lake ilountain i„
Hamilton County, that weighed about two hundred pounds. This
18 the heariest Panther concerning which I have been able t6
procure tmstnorthy infonnation."

In the few cases where measurements of excessive length
have been made, they are measurements atjkiM -. not of the
animal before skinning; and inasmuch as the skin of the old
Panther adheres rather closely to the muscle, it is usually
stretched from one to tw feet in removing.

In »y Jkaasls^Llfee^ /4i rondacJsg above quoted occurs the
following:". . one is every now and then confronted with the
most fabulous statements concerning the size of the beast now
under consideration. Some would have us believe that Panthers
have been killed and measured with a Uwo-foot rule' that
were elefen. twelve, and even thirteen feet in length. Formid-
able beasts indeed! No less an authority than James DeKaj
tells us, in apparent good faith, that one was killed on an
island in Fourth Lake (of the Pulton Chain) in Herkimer

i:

OO

McGuire 3

-

County, that, when recently killed. »had a total length of
eleven feet three inches.' To those that are inclined to
credit such statements 1 have only to ^^ay: measure off
eleven feet on your floor; place the largest Puntfcer you ever
saw on this measured line, and then tell ^r.e on what part of
the beast you would 'annex' or 's^,lice on' the three or more
additional feet^"

My dear Sir;

This is a tardy acknowledgment of your very interesting

letter of December 16, in reply to my inquiry about the lava bed
bears. 1 am extremely sorry to have missed your call at Lagunitas
and hope for better luck the next time you are in California, 1
am off on field trips a good deal of the time.

I had the misfortune to hurt myself before leaving Califor-
nia, and since my return to Washington have been laid up in a
hospital. I am all right now. however, and expect to return to

California in May.

Have you seen Mr. Laidlow about his bear skull? I should
like mightily to get hold of it. particularly if it happens to be
an, adult male. Thanks for the addresses of C, C. Dedman and
•Diamond Dick*. I am writing them by this mail.

I am moat anxious to secure specimens of both the Dwarf
Griszly and Dwarf Black Bear from the lava beds of eastern Oregon
and southern Idaho, but thus far have failed to get them. Skulls
of Grizzly Bear are much needed from all parts of the West, parti-
cularly Idaho, Oregon and western Wyoming, end I shall be glad to
purchase any you are able to locate.

I am glad to know there are still mountain sheep and ante-
lope in the mountains of Owyhee County, Sage hens were very
abundant in south central Oregon when I crossed the state with a
pack outfit some years ago. Old males were especially numerous
in big flocks in the mountains east of Warner Lake. In the course
of the same trip I saw mountain sheep and mule deer on Steens
Mountain.

Tour records of buffalo, based on old skulls, must be
about the most western known. I am glad to have the localities.

In a few days I expect to be able to see Mr. Grosvenor,
at the National Geographic Society headquarters, and will ask him
to let me see your manuscript. I shall be mightily interested
to reed it.

With best wishes, and many thanks for your kindness in

writing.

Very truly yours.

Dear Mr« Farrington:

Owing to my long absence in field work in the Vfest your
letter, written early last summer, got lost in a lot of miscel-

return from California,

I deeply sympathize with you and others owning lands in
the Mono Basin, but I was not aware of the withdrawal of lands
until the receipt of your letter. ' I know nothing fhaterer of
the facts in the case and regret that I am not in a position to
help you. I would suggest, however, that a letter or petition,
signed by land owners of Mono Basin, addressed to the new Secretary
of the Interior, might be worth while. The congressional committee
to which such matters might be referred will not be appointed until

On examining the bear skulls received during the

find two batches from you* The first lot was received
May 12, 1920, and comprises seven skulls (described in
your letter of March 23, 1920). The second lot was
received November 9, 1920, and consists of five skulls
agreeing with your letter of September 23; but this lot was
marked on the box as shipped by A» H« Miller, Superintendent
Native School, Anchorage, Alaska* The first lot I value at
$39.00, the last at $38.00, making $77.00 in all, a check
for which will be sent you in a few days from my account in
the Smithsonian Institution.

In case this last batch of skulls belonged to Mr.
Miller you will, of course, settle with him.

I have difficulty in locating some of your locali-
ties, as they are not shown on the usual Alaska maps.
Therefore, in case you send skulls in the future, please
locate the places of killing a little more definitely. I
assume that all in the two lots above referred to were from
points on Alaska Peninsula.

Dear Doctor Evermann:

Were any Elk captured at Buttonwillow for distribu-

If I understand the matter correctly the Academy.
under your direction, had charge of the 1914 and 1915
captures and distributions. More than this I do not know.

Among the photographs of the living animals at
Buttonwillow I wonder if you have any face-on view of an
old bull, showing the broad nostrils^ and lower part of the
face in contrast with the relatively narrow face of the
Rocky Mountain Elk. I am anxious to show this contrast.
and should be greatly obliged if you could send me such a
photograph.

I am getting on fairly well and hope to return to
California before the middle of itey.

With best wishes to you and your associates.

My dear Sir:

Your brief but interesting article in the February
number of »Rod and Gun in Canada» is my excuse for writing.

You mention killing five Grizzlies in the Mount
Bobson region. This interests me greatly, as that region
is the type locality of Uraua. fianalanaii, a species described
by me in 1914 frcn Moose Pass, and is also inhabited by
several other species whose ranges have not been definitely
ascertained.

I am anxious to see as many Grizzly skulls as
possible from this region and am writing to ask if you
would be willing to loan me the skulls of those killed by
your party, so that I may have an opportunity to compare
them with the speci-Dona in our National Museum at Washington.

Will you kindly mention the localities whore these
Bears were killed?

Dear Cebot;

Many thanks for your letter of the 14th instant.
I am always glad to hear from you, and I am glad also to
know that you have tried so hard to locate some Panamint
Shoshone Indiana for me. You tell me that you have tried
to get information from all the old Indians coming through
the Talley, but you forgot to tell me whatjribf., tJ^e^e^old
Ii!^aBL^^5i°?g to. This would be very helpful to me, and
if it is not a secret I hope you will tell me in your next
letter. I am most anxious to get all the information I

can about anyjndians in your general region and should
like to know just where the different ones lire. The tribe
they belong to is also of importance, but they will not
always tell that; many just call themselves Piutes. In any
case ask them where they live.

Recently I have seen all three Washington members' of
your distinguished family. Frederick brought me home a few
nights ago, and your father and mother did the same late
yesterday afternoon after a lecture by ex -President Taft.
I agree with you that the arid desert is a great
place, but do not care to live there in summer. You ought

Dear Mr. Dickey:

In response to your request about the file guides
I am sending you herewith a sample set. Both the metal
top and the cut edge pasteboard guides may be had, as ycu
doubtless know, of different lengths of tabsjfor the headings.
They are ordinarily supplied cut in 4s or 58, soir.e in 3s.
to conform to the necessities of longer or shorter headings.
I am sending only the short ones. ~ .'

In reply to your inquiry as to class: ficaticn would
say that this to me is almost a matter of indifference, fcr
the reason that the steel file case labels mention the
names of the families contained in each drawer. It makes
little difference whether the families are arranged in
alphabetic sequence or by orders. Personally I have grouped
mine by orders, with the genera alphabetic under each order;
the species alphabetic under each genus.

In cases where the file is to be used by several
persons it is convenient to include in their alphabetic
sequence cardboard guides for well-known genera whose names
have been changed, such guides cross referring to the namo
used in the present file. Thus I would have a genus guide

In 1904 I had the elk fence built across the mouth
of the canyon of Middle Fork, and in Ncvomber of thfct year
went to Buttonwillow with the expectatior o^ se<"u>-in2 a

large number of animals^ But. as ycu may remember, the
Elk refused to be driven into the corral and only a ^ew
were captured^ These were rcp^d, not driven. Most of
them died. The few that were left I took to the elk park
on Middle Pork Kaweah. about the mi:^ilc cf November 1904 •
In 1905. profiting by ^he failure of th^ previous
year. James Ogden. superintendent of the Millar and Lux
ranch, adopted a different plane lastead of attempting to
drive the animal.^ collectively they were chased individually

Mr. John Oliver La Gorce,

Dear Mr. La Gorce:

Thanks for your letter of March 28 with the accon-
panying papers on your new Miami Aquarium. I have perused
these with much interest, and had previously taken much
pleasure in looking at the beautiful colored pictures of
tropical fishes when they appeared in the Geographic Magazine.

If the work of the Aquarium is to be confined to
fishes, the presence on your Advisory Committee of Dr. B.
Svermann, Dr. Hugh M. Smith, Dr. Charles H. Townsend and
Dr. Carl H. Sigenmann, would inspire great confidence in
students of ichthyology; but if the unsurpassed opportunities
for the study of marine invertebrates are to be taken advan-
tage of, one is almost startled by the absence of anyone
familiar with invertebrate zoology.

Your account of the origin of the Miami Aquarium
and Laboratory is most interesting, and speaks volumes for
your own enthusiasm and perseverance. It seems to me th< t
you have already established and equipped a wonderfully
complete establishment for marine work, and that the location
you have selected is not excelled in the whole world.

Your success in obtaining moving pictures of the
Bahama flamingos, and in securing governmental protection
for the colony, are matters of sincere congratulation,

Referring to the last paragraph of your letter, in
^ich you invite me to become a member of the Advisory
Committee, I feel that, while I should be glad at any time
to be of service, my lines of work during 'the pest forty
years have been wholly in other fields than those covered
by seaside aquaria and laboratories. In fact, it is more
than forty-five years since I was one of Professor Baird's
assistants in the marine laboratory established by him in
connection with the Fish Commission work at Woods Hole.
Mass.; and since I visited the Bay of Pundy for the sole
purpose of collecting invertebrates.

Since that long-ago period my scientific work has
been with terrestrial vertebrates, plants, and Indians.

With renewed congratulations and best wishes.

Very truly yours,.

P.S. I am returning herewith the letter from Ur. Grant.
Governor of the Bahamas . notifying you of the protection
accorded the flamingo.

In striving to secure specimens of the so-called
Lava Beds Bear don't hold in your mind's eye the McKendrick
cub as the type, as this specimen may be abnormal.

VVhat I want to get hold of is some specimens of
Bears from the open treeless parts of Oregon, irrespective
of their appearance. They may be black, just like the forest
Bears, but if different their skulls or teeth will tell the
story. Hence if you have sent in or in future send in
specimens collected within the lava beds area, or anywhere
in the treeless parts of eastern Oregon, please notify me
as to the localities where they were killed end I will
examine the specimens with much interest.

With best wishes.

of adult males, $10 to ^15 each according to age and
condition.

In case you are able to secure any, please label

Beplying to your letter of February 5, I take
pleasure in sending you most of the publications asked for
snd a few others that may prove of interest to you.

lou are a greet hand to ask questions j some of
which are easy to answer, others unanswerable.

As to the White Bear of southwest British Columbia,
described as EraaflL kamodai ^ it appears to be an albino.

The so-called Glacier Bear, Ursua eimonai , also

appears to be a variable color phase of the Black Bear.

As to the Mountain Sheep, this group has not yet
been monographed; but we are gradually collecting material
which we hope in a few years will admit of final conclusions
"83 to the various forms. You seem to suffer from a rather
eowraon malady in laying great stress on i^ether a form is a
full species or only a sub-species. What difference does
it make so long as they are well differentiated forms? I
certainly would not assume, in the present state of knowledge,
to sey whether the various forms you mention are or are not
full species. We do not yet know whether Qzis. sierrae is

Professor B* W. Brermann.

Director, Academy or Sciences,
Sail Francisco, Calif ornia*

Dear Professor Erermann:

Very many thanks for your courtesy and promptness
in replying so fully to my inquiry about the Buttonwillow
Elk, I am glad also to hfive your publications on the sub-
ject and for the opportunity to look over your excellent
series of photographs. These I am returning herewith.

3inc9, howsTor, you kindly offer to have a set
printed for ae, I shall be thankful if you will kindly have
prints made, at my expense of course, of seven, namely,
Nos. 3, 10. 11. 15, 19. 20 and 28.

I have just read with much interest your articles
on these Slk in 'California Pish and Game*, and am delighted

t

to see that you have secured so much original information
concerning the former range of Elk in the Coast region.
The question of species » as you suggest, is an important one
in this connection, but very difficult to settle at this
late day*

Per many years I have felt that the Point Reyes Elk

L, not nannodea^ Its range doubtless
extended continuously in the Ooast forests from Marin County

\

i\

(\|

s

\

northerly through Sonoma and Mendocino to Humboldt, If
old antlers of the Coast Slk can be had it may be possible
to determine the species, though of course it would be much
easier if one had skulls as well as antlers.

I do not find in your letter or publications the
exact dates of the Buttonwillow Slk captures of 1915 and
1914. You mention that in 1914 the corral was completed in
October, but do not mention the date of the captures. The
same seems to be true of 1915,

It just occurs to me to ask if the Academy's library
bas a set of my separates on Mammals. Birds, and other sub.
jects. If not. I shall be glad to send such as still
remain in hand.

*/ith best wishes and renewed thanks for your trouble.

St. Louis, Missouri •

My dear Mr. Mallinckrodt:

The skull of your big male Ursus gyas arrived today,
having just been shipped by James !• Clark » of Bronx. It
certainly is a whopper — the largest, I feel reasonably surs,
that I have ever seen* It measures about three quarters of
an inch longer than the longest skull in our collection and
certainly is a magnificent specimen. The great length is
in the facial pgirt of the skull, the basal part measuring
the same as in other specimens. It is a great joy to be
able to add this skull to the series in our National collec-
tion. I assume that you killed it on Pavlof Bay. Do you
remember the exact date?

The skull of the old she Bear, mother of the two
cubs, killed by you on May 27, was sent in by Murgatroyd
before my return from Califoroia; but owing to my recent
illness I was not able to examine it until a few days ago.
It is a typical female gyas. so that the cubs in your B^o
may be so labeled.

I assume that the circumstance ttet all of your
ikulls and those of Mr. Steedman are gy^a is the result of
your killing only the biggest Bears; otherwise it would be

\

I

1

-2-
strange if you had not also cttoined specimens of ItUieri.

I can now answer your question as to whether en eye-
shot would reach the brain when the Bear was looking straight
at you. No, such a shot cannot possibly reach the brain if
the Bear is looking directly at you. If, however, the head
is turned a little to one siie an eyeshot would be almost
certain to hit the brain.

Relating to the difficulty of landing a bullet in
the brain it may be remarked, as 1 think I wrote you from
I^gunitas. that the relatively small size of the brain in
comparison with the large area of the skull is confusing, if
not deceptive. This is due largely to tke extensive area
of honeycomblike bone cells between the front part of the •
brain and the upper surface of the skull of the forehead.
This series of air chambers corresponds to our frontal sinus.

Many published measurements of Bear skulls require
explanation as to the method of measurement, for if the mea-
surement is taken over the curve of the skull from nose to
occipital crest the measurement will be considerably greater
than that taken in a straight line between the same points.
We measure the straight distance between vertical uprights

Dear Mr. Steedman:

On Tisitiag the Museum after my belated return from
Cialifomia and subsequent stay in the hospital I was greatly
delighted to find the three skulls of male Draiy gyaa killed
by you in t^ Parlof Bay region and generously presented to
our National collection. They were sent in by Murgatroyd
on Septenber 25, without nunbers or tags of any kind, but
fortunately are easily identified by your description. All
are typical JtcSiUL gfaa., the two old males showing the usual
variation in size exhibited by this species. Your largest
male was anong the largest in our collection until yesterday,
when we received from James L. Clark, of New York, the long-
looked-for skull of Mr. Mallinckrodt's big Bear, concerning
*ich you wrote me last sunmer. It proves of unusual interest,
being the largest (meaning longest) skull of Draua gyaa that
I hare ever seen.

Mr. Mallinckrodt's old female, mother of the two
cubs, also mentioned in your letters, proves to be a perfectly
typical old female Ur8u,a gyaq.

Tftkan together this series of gyaa, collected by
yourself and Mr. Mallinckrodt, forma one of the most valuable

Dear Dr. Mtrrlan:

Your letter of the 2l8t inet. enclosing a oeo-

at hand*

Professor Cssqpbell is anxious to secure funds for the publi-
cation of a card index of gecgraphic names in the United States
prepared by William 6. Steel.

I do not happen to kno* anything about the character or
theroi^^ess of tfr. Steel's work, although I have known the man
himself for nearly 30 years. But I do know that one of the cry-
ing needs of imerica at this time is a reliable gazeteer. or
better still a series of historic gazeteers of the various states*

Years ago I undertook the preparation of such a work for
the state of California and am adding to it from time to tins,
but at present see no prospect of its completion.

Such a work, i^ seesis to me, should be prepared by paid
assistants under competent supervision^ by the U. Si Geographic

»

Board or the Greologioal Survey. Unfortunately however, the
Gecign^hic Board has no funds whatever, and the Geological Survey
no fund available for the purpose*

Host of our existing gazeteers are antiquated and inoooqplete,
rarely giving origin or date of original use of a name, and still

given special attention to those mentioned by early explorers, and
to the changes of names, unfortunately verj^ numerous, that have
taken place in comparatively recent times*

Thanks for yours of the 20th inst. onclosir« a
olippii« from the New York Herald of April 17. entitled -Another
Side of the Tacoma Dispute.-

^is is one of the most foolish articles I hare seen in a
long time. The author, who signs himself George M. Walker, attfi-
butes to Chinese origin a considerable number of gecgraphic names
m the western part of the United States because of the resemblance
of certain syllables to ^responding si^Ilables or names in the
Chinese largusge. If he^tried. he could ^have done the same thirg
with any language on earth.

The really funny thing about thie kind of logic is that the
mathors seem to foiget t!^at the areas covered by the names they cif
embrace the territory of a laige number of tribes speakir^ lan-
^l^!5.*^i^i^-J^^-^iy6ibl^Jo^o^e^other. In order to make*.is
theory tenable therefore, we must ^dopt the view that the Chinese
larguage covered a lai^e part of the American contineht before
the languages of the present tribes were differentiated! Ihe

ibe eame effect on all of our mammel men here in the city,
an we bad counted on your smiling countenance at the com*
ing meeting. We shaU hope, hpweTer» to see you on your
way north from Kentucky.

I am told that Joseph Grinnell has arrived from Cal-
ifornia, but have not seen him yet« It is good that he
could cone.

A few days ago I looked over the last ^Avk^ and was *
much interested in a number of notes and also in a few
other things.

I do not know how it is with you young fellows, but
I find it confusing that the head-line-^titles of ^^eral
ftDtes are in the same type as the names of species. This,
in connection with the circumstance that separate notes are
not separated by enough space » makes it difficult for me to
observe quickly o^ere one note stops and the next begins.

On looking closely, I sometimes find that I had attributed
two or three to the same man when they were really by dif-
ferent authors. On pages 281-382 of the last lesue, there
seems to be a cog raipsing, the titi^ of the first note calL

out the name of any author, with something on the birds of
Ann Arbor. This raises the question as to whether there is
not a mixture of matter not provided for by the prohibition
laws.

You certainly did well ir. digginf^ up that letter of
Cassin's. It is mighty interesting.

And your reviews are most alluring. You irdeed posress
the faculty of summing up the qualities of a paper in p wry
thf.t is highly satisfectory to the reader who is pressed for
time. I was particularly impressed with the timeliness of
of your remarks on a certain publicf^tion relating to the
•tarling. It is a pity to see these lapses in the work of
the Survey.

How about the List of members? If you have any extras
in stock I would like one for the sake of the addresses.

With best wishes.

Deipr Mr. Mailinokrodt:

Since writing you on April 7, I find
that the skull of Urgn< gysa from Beer Hirer, Alaska Fenin-
sula, obtained by Miss Annie Alezandsr of California and now
in the MuseuB of the University ol California (No. 4718), is
latter than your big skull, as you will see fro« the following

«

measureaents : Greatest length of Miss Alvcander's skull 460
milliBsters (nearly IS inches), of yours 465 ^inimeters
(18^ inches); condylo-basal length of her skull H5 nilli-
meters (17^ inches), of yours 425 milliaetert (16-3/* tn(5hes).

Your skull » however 9 is still the largest in the BioN
logical Surrey and National Museum collections and I have no
doubt will continue to he the largest »

The

largest skulls of

of which I have

any record^ in order of size^ are the following: Miss Alexan-
der's from Bear River, Be Mallinckrodt *s from Cold Bay, C. G.
•s from Port Moller, Dr* J* Wylie Anderson's from Unimal

Island, and E. Steedman's from Pavlof Bay*

The skull of which you speak, presented by Mr, H. Cutting.

is hy no means so large as those above mentioned.

In compliance with your request, I will return the skull
of your she Bear, mother of the cubs you presented to the
St* Louis Zoo* But do not imagine that we consider the skull
of little value in the collection*

Eeferrir^ again to the matter of the relative abundance
of Ilrsufl gyas and U. kidderi in the Pavlof Bay region, would
state that we have in our collection eight skulls of kidderi
labeled Pavlof Bay^and of gyas eighteen or twenty.

If the skull of your third Bear is adult , I should be
very glad to see it in accordance with your kind offer, but
if young it would hardly be worth while.

Col. McGuire of Denver, Editor of Qutdoor LifOt has just
written m asking me for measurements of our largest specimens
of Prgpg gyas and also of some large Grizzlies. These I will

«

send hia in a day or two. ^

In speaking of hig Bears, it ia always necessary to re-

■enber that the great Kadiak 6&ar. Ursna middendorffi. is one

of the largest, if not Ihfl. largest, of all the Bears of the

world. But the proportions of its skull are so different from
those of ordimsry Bears that its size, judging from total length
and IsMgth of base of skull, appears at a disadvantage. It is
really a aonstrous skull, domed and exceedingly broad and

largeat Grizslies. He mentions fire of each as about the
number he would like. He asks also for photographs of the
skulla for reproduction in an article in Outdoor Lifp.

I hare been to the Museum two or three times lately
aiu secured the measurements he wished « but am not able
to attend to the photographs. He is particularly inter--
ested in the akull of an old male ^recently presented to
our collection by S« Mallinokrodt» Jr.^ of St. Louis.
This skull is No. 235991 and has nerer been photographed.
It is the longest bear skull of any species in either the
Biological Surrey or National Museum collection. Is it
practicable for Kent to make the usual tiews of this skull?
If sOt and duplicate prints are sent ma, I will forward one
set to Col. Mc

Col. McGuire desires also photographs of skulls of

I 'io not beli«v« that he needs as many as he thinks he does

Dear Walter:

This is merely a report of progress. I was

glad to learn from your letter that my collection of papers
relating to fishes and invertebrates would prove useful in

your laboratory.

Since hearing from you, I have been at work on the

job, and I think you will be surprised at both the quan-
tity and quality of the publications. I hare not yet be-
gun packing for I am still digging out end sorting. A
few hare been left in that do not strictly fell under
either of the afore..menti«ned headings. Some of them,
however, may serve to produce a relaxation of the faciei
muscles. Will let you know when shipment is made.

With best wishes.

Dear Mr. Pinchot:

be willing to second his nomination and write the
necessary letter to the Gonmittee on Admissions.

On going to the Club for the proposal slip, I
was giren the enclosed blank and was told that the
present practice is for the Conmitte« on Admissions
to do the posting after the receipt of tbe necessary
letters. If, therefore, you will kindly sign the ac-
companying proposal with me and forward it either to
the Committee on Admissions or to me, I think the
necessary formalities will have been complied with.
I hare already sent the Committee my letter.

Mr. Arthur H. Fisher.

My dear Sir:

lour exhibit of moving pictures of animals during
the recent meeting of the American Society of Mamnalogists was
to me the most attractive and interesting illustration of animr^l
life that I have ever seen. The still pictures are of unusual

<

ex«ellence, while those of animals in motion, taken with the
Akeley camera, are unique, I was impressed by the unusual
clearness and perfect definition of the pictures, and by the
wonderful way in which they exhibit the characteristic posi-
tions and movements of the various species. Their value to
artists and taxidermists is beyond measure; while to natural-
ists, particularly students of mansals, they afford unprece-
dented opportunity for studies of form and proportion.

It would be a greet thing for science if every natural
history museum and institution in the country could have a
set of these films so arranged that they could be used when-
ever needed, and a great thing for education if they could
be shown frequently in our schools in order to correct the
false impressions that our school children acquire from the

Dear Mr« Sloane:

The enclosed letter from Dr* George Bird Grinnell
concerning the name of what is currently known as**Lower St* Mary* a
lake^ in Glacier National Park has just arrived and I am forward-
ing it to you to bring before the Sxecutire Connittee.

Dr* Grinnell shows clearly that this is the body of water
to idiic^ the name Chief MonntflJn Ifflkft ibs applied by Doty in
1854. Por many years in the seventies and early eighties, I
WBS familiar with this name, and when in Glacier Park a few
years ago wondered irtiat had become of it«

Inasmuch aa both upper and lower lakes are now known under
the name St^ Mary^a. I a& glad to second Dr. Grinnell 's sug-
gestion that the name Chief Monntain L^k^ be restored to the
lower of the two.

Dr. Grinnell, as you doubtless know, is the person through

whose efforts Glacier National Park was established, and for

,, „and^ Grinnell Glacier
irtiom Gnnnell Mountain vere named. He was also, many years ago,

the first to announce the existence of extensive glaciers in

this region o

Dear Grinnell:

• •

Your letter of yestJUfday enclosing « comau-
nication to the U. S. Geographic Board has just arrived and
I will take pleasure in presenting it at the next meeting
cf the Bo8rd*8 Sxecutive Committee*

It seems to me it would be an excellent thing to adopt
the name Chief Mountain Lake for the one now known as "Lower
St^ Mary's Lake", and let the upper one stand to perpetuate
Mary's name* I do not feel sure, however » that the Board
will be willing to do this in view of the number of years
that the name Mary*a has been attached to both lakes, and
the number of maps on which it is engraved* However, we
shall see. In any event, I am greatly obliged to you for
contributing so complete a statement of the history of the

names*

I am still searching for Miss Vihite's Seminary and irill

let you know if it is found.

In looking over my ''Padouca" mOToranda, I find little
or nothing additional to your material, nearly all my refer-
ences being either the same as yours or second-hand. If you

Many thanka for your kindneas in aending
«e your paper on Ma^alff of Min.Pnrl i*ich I have read with
mtereat. Unfortunately the publication ia not dated. I aa-
•me It was pnbliahed in 1920.

In reply to your requeat for auggeationa I would offer
the following: In apeaking of the Fox SquirrePa enemiea you

that the Coon ia an enemy of thia Squirrel? Thia idea ia

In apeaking of the Wocdohuck you aay. "The queation haa

hibernate during the cold weather." I would adyiae striking
out thia aentence aa it aeema hardly rationable to think that
auch an aniwl would know in adrance that it waa going to do

tween apeolea of the genua Mifiiaiaa.. The Lemming Mouse

(SvBflpto^yft g^«fli^ should also follow the Mice of the genus

Microtna.

In speaking of the Muskrat, you say that its house is

"▼eiy 8i«riar and often practically identical, except in di-
nenBions, with that of the Beaver." Are you sure that this
i:s the caae? I have never seen a Muskrat house with sticks

im i.t.

In apeaking of the Pox, you state that the Black or Silver

Pc»x "receives its name from the fact that the tip of its tail
ill white, and from the occasional white-tipped hairs scattered
tlax-ough the otherwise black fur.*^ Surely the white tip of the
tr.i il had nothing to do with the name.

The Poxes you put with the Wolves in the genus SfiXlia. The
Re^d Poxes belong to the genus laijjifia.; the Gray Poxes to the genus

In telling about the Bears, you state that "only four vari-
#t:ii38 are in North America." There are more than thia number of
ape^oiea of Black Beara, not to mention aomething like eighty kinds
of Tth© Big Bear*. You may obtain a better notion of this group
