There is one point that I should like, if possible, to secure evidence on, that is, have you a^y conception of the weights of the mothers of the two cuhs bom in the Cincinnati Zoological Grarden, referred to in your letter, and the one born on January 15, 1913 at the Zoological Park in Washington? In other words, I ^ interested in getting some evidence as to the relationship between the weigjit of the mother and the weight of the cub. The particular bear cub that I saw in New York, born there in January about a year ago, was apparently bom with much more hair on the body than you indicate was on those you saw, although the eyes were closed. frostily you will have a very pleasant summer in California, and with best regards, I 7ery truly yours. j^tu.^^<^-^^ Director. t Cametfte f nsttttttfoii ot xnaBblngton NUTRITION LAB(»AT(»Y VflJ^ STREET.

Do you know of anyone who has taken the tenqperatures of any so-called "hibernating bears"? What would be your opinion with regard to this statement that the temperature is the same, or essentially the same, winter and summer? I am expecting to be down at the National Academy meetings in Washington and hope to have the pleasure of seeing you there again, but knowing you are frequently off on tours I am writing to you early, so as to try to catch you before you have left Washington, so you can give me some sort of a note on this i)oint. Also, in case you may be in the field someindiere, I am enclosing a self -addressed, stamped envelope for reply. Still hoping to see you in Washington, and with wannest personal regards, I am Very truly yours. Director. Carnkoie institution of WASHINOTCN NUTRITION LABORATORY 29 VILA STREET. BOSTON. MASSACHUSETTS March 29, 1937 Jit. C. Hart Merriaa 1919 Sixteenth St. Washington, D. C. Hy dear Dr. Merri£m, •ftank 70U very much for your kindness in answering my letter of recent date. I am indeed disappointed that you have not any data on this point. People inrariably speak about the bears hibernating, and of course if it should transpire that the bear has not a te^)erature definitely lower than noiraal, this could not I think, be called true hibernation. ' t The idiole thing hinges upon this one Russian'record of a good many years ago, to be sure, and in looking it over there is no hint as to the length of time it took to get the temperature. We lMt.S^S>MJJljto_36^, and I can imagine that digging a bear 5ut of so-called -hibernation", with the excitement and activity incidental thereto, might easily result in the animal's returning to a practically normal state at or about the time the temperature is taken. However, this is all speculative and I hoped that you might have some comments on it. Hare you any opinion on the subject irtilch you would care to have me incorporate in a monograph I am preparing on the woodchuck, in irtiich, of course, I must mention the bear as a potentially possible true hibernating animal? I sincerely hope you will not have started for your Sumner caB5>aign before the Acadany meetings, when I shall hope to have the pleasure of speaking with you personally. VI th vaisiest regards, I am Very tnily yours. fU, Jl_:.(^ ^^...cMsztr- Director. 1 '"Ia-^^I ij' I ^ ,m ' i'^' ) S3 (T ^ L ms tntl)p(!rrtpofi^ftogork DEPARTMENT OF ANTHROPOLOGY January 15,1925. X^x^y Dr. C. Hart Merriara, 1919 - 16th St., Washington, D.C. My dear Dr. Merriam: I have "been waiting for the separates of my Serrano article to reach me before writing you how glad I am to send you as many as you can use. I bhall "be very glad if you will send me any parallel facts that you i.iay happen to have from California, if you are able to take the time for it. I shall have also a collection of Serrano myths which will appear in the Folklore Journal when I can take the time to finish up the parallels I have been accumulating. Of course I am greatly indebted to your Mi wok volume. I must apologize for no acknowledging the references to your California aBticles which you sent me some time ago. I had it in mind at the time to write an article on certain styl- istic characteristics of the folklore of that region, and since I'd made large use of your Miwok myths, I waited hoping to com- plete it. Just at present I have had to lay it aside for work on Southwest material. Sincerely yours.

Hart Merriam, 1919 Sixteenth Street, Washington, D« C« Dear Dr« Merriam: To date I have received four packages of your poblicatione vhich you mentioned in your letter of April 5* I am deeply grateful for your generosity in giving them to me. I well appreciate the honor you confer on me by so doing* Rest assured that they vill be used* Also I want to thank you for yotir letter eonoeming my p^per on concealing coloration* I am much gratified that you should approve of it* Uy paper, of course, is not a survey of the whole great pro- blem of concealing coloration, but only a study of a particular por- tion of the problem* For this reason I did not include all the data available* Such reference as was made to San Francisco Mountain was necessary because Sumner and Swarth (Joum. Mamm., vol* 5, pp* 81-113 1 1924) denied that there was a correlation between color of enrlromient and colors of animals in that region* Their paper cited yours and cttiers, and for the sake of space I did not cite yours since referen- ces to it can be found in Sumner's paper. The San Francieeo Mountain area is a fascinating one and I hope someday to follow your trail through the region. Nothing of consequence with regard to mammal study has been done there since your work* I will find useful your list of references on concealing color- ation. There is a revived interest and much difference of opinion concerning the subject now, largely stimulated by McAtee«a papers against natural selection. I think the evidence is becoming more and more conclusive that yoxir point of riew is the correot one* Thank you again for your kindness. Such interest that you have displayed is most heartening to a beginner in the science to idiich you have contributed so much. Yours sincerely, Seth B.

February 28, 1917 Dr, C* Hart Merriam United States Hational Museum Washington, D C Dear Dr* Merriam: In studying up the distribution of the Black-throated Loon, I find a number of records which I should like to have con- firmed. One of these is a record of a bird reported by Mr. H. J, Giddings, Sabula, Iowa, of an immature male taken in the Miss- issippi River at that point on November 15, 1896, and identified by you. Unless you made a record of it at the time, I suppose it would be difficult for you to remember at this late date just what steps were taken to identify it, but if you can give me any information on the subject, I should be glad to have it. So far, every record that I have investigated has turned out to be either an immature Common Loon or a Pacific Loon, and I am strongly convinced that the European Black- throated Loon has no status as an American bird. Thanking you for any information you can give me, I am Sincerely yours, ACB-MVN dernict Thod'i 3<'iW ^^^^'"^ niio rnioe: r. bishop museum HOfMOL.UL.U, MAWAII OF'F'IOK OF* XME OIREOTOI Iftiy 26^ 1926» Dr« C* E# Itorriaiii, Carnegie Institute, Ifkshington, D« C» Uf dear Mr* Marriam: Since the retiirn of Dr* Coolos from Samoa, I bare discussed idth him the relation of Bishop i^seum to the manasoript on Hanaiian llBirine Molliisca* In examining the letter files, I find this to be the gist of oorrespondenoe and agreements: When the manusoript came, it nas referred to three oonohologists, all of vhom reported that it ought not to be published without substantially scientific revision *« ^^eys, adequate descriptions of new species, and other in^ortanb material Hm^acking* Cor* respondenoe and personal interviews with Dall then followed, with a view of making the manuscript acceptable to students of Pacific ehell8« But it was uphill pushing ~ Dall natxirally wanted the work published as he wrote it ~ and communication ended with a cable from Bartsch, dated July 21, 1924, reading: ''Dall requests immediate shipment e^qpress insinred National Museum of manusoript and illustrations #" No letter of explanation of this remarkable action preceded or followed the cable and bqt letter asking for an explanation remains unanswered • After m&iting a few months, the Trustees reallotted the funds set aside for the publication of Dallas manuscript and the aon^ already expended on it was written off # There seemsd nothing to do but to consider the negotiatinns closed* Naturally, ay personal relation to the manuscript amounts to nothing; my job was to write or at least to sign letters on ths advice of men flamiliar with Pacific mollusca and with DallU method of dealing with them* Sincerely yoxirs.

The Commissioners, for reasons best Imov/n to themselves, have failed to include in their reports any reference to the violations of the Personnel Classification Act. They gloss over the weakness of personnel conditions in Washington and elsewhere. The Better Government League has decided to urge the adoption of legislation that will put a real merit principle in the government civil service and re:>lace the methods and system of the present Commission by a direction and control such as will secure the efficiency of the service and a fair treatment for all employees.

I note that he will be in Washington January 15th. I have a oonmittee meeting in Andover on January 16th, and an engagement in New York on Jlsmuary 17th, but ahould be g^ad to see him here on the 18th. With regard to Bassett, I hardly Imow nhat to say although I have been thinking the thing over. I do not like to take an assistant whom I heye not seen and talked with several times. I understood you to say that Hiller would be willing to work with native assistants and would not need a white man in his i>arty. Utader the circumstances, I am afraid we better let Mr. Bassett stay in Nevada. Of course, if he is coming East, I would like to see him, as it would be a great advantage to have a stenographer in the field. Faithfully yours.

I hope that it will not make trouble with the others of the Expedition, not one of whom gets such a large salary. However, we are exceeds ingly glAd to hr.ve gotten such a good man, and I shall be very glad to see him in New Haven as soon as possible. Any time between the 18th and 28th of January will probably find me in New Haven. I shall recommend his appointment by the Corporation at once as Naturalist of the Expedition. Thanking you for your interest in the matter, and assuring you of my appreciation of all you have done to help to make the Expedition a success, believe me to remain. Faithfully yours.

My dear Dr. ilerriam: I am very sorry, indeed, to learn from your letter of April l£th that the Biological Survey is obliged to decline the Peruvian collections made for us by Ur. Heller. After receiving your letter I telegraphed Dr. Walcott requesting that the mam- mals be sent to Hew Haven. I am sure we can find a place for Mr. Heller to spread them out here, and possibly he will be near enough to New York so that he can work satisfactorily from this point. It seems to rae that the Museum authorities are acting in an extraordinarily short-sighted manner. With kind regards and many thanks for your interest in the matter, believe me to remain Faithfully yours. Dr. G. Hart Merriam, U. S. Biological Survey, V/ashington, P.O. Hiram Binoham.

I shall answer your last letter more exhaustively, as soon as I have studied thoroughly the observations made by you.— Above all I want to express the great pleasure I felt in your behalf when hearing of the scientific expeditions to which you have been called, and how astonished I am at the great energy with which you elaborate the immense material which presents itself to you. Your numerous literary publications which I have received and which unfortunately I have not yet been able to study all thoroughly, have indeed astonished me. I con- gratulate you with all my heart to your great success in the department of science. You ask. If I can not come to North America some time and visit you. As you know, it has been my desire for years. But up to the present I have not had an opportunity to consider the plan seriously. Since my re-marriage I am also naturally tied more to my house and the narrower home circle.— I hope secretly tlrnt perhaps the World's Fair in Chicago may present an outer occasion for the voyage, if, for instance, our tech- nichal high-school is represented at the exhi})ition, which is not impos- sible. I can, however, form no certain plans in this direction. A year ago I was shown the honor of being elected Principal of our technical high-school for three years. This gives me much work to do and leaves me but little time for scientific work. My oldest son Otto is now tralferred to 'Ober-Secunda' of the colle^ and recently confirmed. He is now 15 and y^2 years old. In my second marriage which proves very happy and which also gave back to Otto a share of the motherly love, three children have been bom to me: Luise on the 25th of August, 1887, Sophie on the 11th of February, 1889, and Heinrich, another son, on the 4th of June, 1890. With the exception of slight sicknesses and colds all the children thrive very well and give us much joy. I was very much pleased to learn that to you also a daughter is bom, who is now 2 years old and gives you much joy. Would that the child may continue to thrive to the pleasure of its parents! Last year I had the pleasure to receive by letter a greetirig from you throu,p;h an American ornithologist. Unfortunately I did notjreceivo your letter until one of the last days of the Congress, so that I had very little time to speak about you with that gentleman. Going on one of the beautiful excursions which our hosts at Budapest had arranged, namely to the Plattensee. I could not even take leave of him personally, and could only leave my card for him, as I did not find him. The Bomeao and New-Guinea traveller. Fritz at the museum as an assitant. During the last years we have been and are still very busy with the vinearthing of diluvual animal remains and hviman traces in the caves near Rubeland in the Harz, And now farewell I Please, give my regards though a stranger to your wife and your little daughter.

Hill, one of my assistant's in the Bancroft Library, is an expert on that very subject, so I turned the paper over to him and am enclosing his comment. He is convinced that you are correct in your conclusion as to the route, but raises a question in regard to the different versions of the Smith letter, as you will see. I recommend that you submit the article for publication to the Southwestern Historical Quarterly, of which the Managing Editor is Dr. B. C. Barker, University of Texas, Austin. I am one of the Editors, and my recommendation may help in the case. With very best wishes, I am. Yours most sincerely. HEB:C P.S.

Mccormick appears to be much dissatisfied with his present situation and will resign the secretaryship of the Board if the Director of the Survey will permit him to do so. I am concerned over vftiat the outcome will be. Among the Lassen Park cards are at least two names of living persons Diller, retired geologist of the Geological Survey; and an earliest settler and road builder in the park named Loomis. Both get a mountain, Diller the higher one. Both are octogenarians, I understand. There are also several other local usage names on both lakes and mountains whose owners probably f1 have long since passed on but of this I can get no definite information^ Local usage, only, is reported by the topographic surveyor of the Geological Survey Twho has Just answered some of my inquiries by mail. This brings me to the matter referred to above. I have confi- dentially discussed with two Board members a proper recognition of another living scientist whose work in life I consider second to none living and to few who have gone, and I find that in all probability there will be unanimous approval if we can arrive at a satisfactory agreement on details. The name of this scientist is C. Hart Merriam and if the Board shall- support me in my effort to recognise his important contributions to science and to general knowledge, I shall wish to be in a position to recommend not only the kind of feature to be named but the State, or possibly the section of a State, preferred. I shall not, of course, submit a card until I have ascertained in advance that the Board will approve. I am now asking that you give me your kindly assistance in this matter regardless of any personal inclinations or feeling of diffidence you may have. If you will do this for me and desire that your suggestions be held confidential I shall of course comply with your wishes. The alternative is a selection which might be undesirable or in some mesisure inappropriate both as to kind and location and this to me would be very regrettable. I may say that personally I have neYer held the extreme view that no living person should be recognixed by the Board and rather felt that the principle relating thereto was not intended to discourage recognition under the safeguard stated. But nothing 1^ more certain to me than that the president's action in the »TCatmai affair" has, in a measure, modified the views of some Board members who, prior thereto, were adamant against recognizing the availability of any living person. Of course this attitude made it easier to refuse all applicants, but I am recommending Diller and Loomis in the Lassen Park list ai^d I feel certain they will be approved. Mr. McCormlck just came over and said that he was going to refuse a reelection as Secretary at the regular annual meeting on October 5th. He will under the by-laws of course hold over until a successor has been found smd elected, but he wants relief as soon as possible. He advises that his superior officers have agreed to this relief with the understand- ing that his retention for two years more means that all his time will be given to a revision of the Alaska dictionary. The selection of a new Secretary with neither candidates nor eligible persons subject to draft in sight looks almost appalling to me. I trust this will find you and yours in good health and that as usual you have had a pleasant and profitable summer in the field. Sincerely yours. Dr. C. Hart Merriam, Lagunitaa, Marin Co., California. -2- GOVERNMENT ESTABLISHMENTS REPRESENTED BY MEMBERSHIP ON THE BOARD EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENTS AGRICULTURE FOREST SmVICK COMMERCE CENSUS coast and gkodctic survey Foreign and Domestic Commerce Lighthouses INTERIOR General Land Office Geological Survey NAVY HYDROGRAPHIC OFFICE POST OFFICE POSTMASTERS APPOINTMENTS TOPOGRAPHY STATE GEOGRAPHY IN REPLY PLEASE REFER TO UNITED STATES GEOGRAPHIC BOARD WASHINGTON EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENTS— CON.

REDMOND CROSS TRBASURKR 3Q PINE STREET New YORK. N. Y. January 12th, 1917. Dear Slr:- At a meeting of the Executive Committee of the Boone and Crockett Club held January 10th, 1917, Mr. Charles Sheldon, Chairman of the Game Preservation Committee, recommended the introduction of mountain goats upon Admiralty Island. There are no goats there at present and the conditions are exceedingly favorable for the increase of any nucleus herd which the Club may place there, particularly as there are no wolves upon the Island. It would be necessary to capture the goats upon the adjoining mainland, where they are to be found on the mountains which rise sharply from the sea, and to transport them across the intervening twelve miles of water. In Mr. Shedon's opinion, this operation presents no great difficulties and he estimates that a suf- ficient number to lay a sound foundation for the stocking of the Island could be caught and ferried across for about $1,500. A special fund to make possible the carrying out of Mr, Sheldon's suggestion is suggested by the members of the Executive Committee and they have headed the list with generous subscriptions. It is reason- able to expect that mountain goats on Admiralty Island will exist indefinitely as an enduring monument to the Club and you are urged to do your share towards en- suring the success of the undertaking. If, by chance, the subscriptions should exceed the amount of money necessary for the purpose, the balance will be turned Into the Game Preservation Fund of the Club. Cheques should be sent to the undersigned. Yours very truly, W. REDMOND CROSS, Treasurer. loan? anh (Urork^tt (Elub EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE Tbb Prksidkmt.

At the time I made a thorough investigation of the club files in order to obtain the necessary data and had considerable correspondence with members. As a result of my investigation I was only able to find six Year Books before 1905, namely 1888, 1889, 1896, 1899. 1901, and 1 903, although there were Club publications in the years 1893, 1895 and 1897 giving lists of members at the time. From 1905 on there is a club book each year. 1 addressed letters to all members who joined the Club before 1 905 asking them for the exact date of their election. Very few were able to state even the year, and so the project was abandoned for the time; but the Secretary has been urged again to pre- pare a list, even though it is impossible often to obtain exact dates prior to 1 905. Accordingly, I have prepared the enclosed list of members with dates of election and will submit to the Club at the annual meeting the question of incorporating these dates in the next Year Book, subject to whatever changes or corrections may be suggested by members. Each member of the Club is requested to examine this list and to furnish the Secretary at once with any information that will be of assistance to him in revising it. Very truly yours, ' HENRY G. GRAY, Secretary. BOONE AND CROCKETT CLUB W. REDMOND CROSS TRBASUIIBII 98 PINK STREET NSW YORK. N. Y. January 26th, 1917.

Dr. C. Hart Merriam, V/aBhington, D. C. My dear Sir:- AB ProfesBor Minot haa informed you, the Council of the Boflton Society of Natural History l-ias endorsed the prin- ciples of H, Bill 36, a copy of which is enclosed. Since Rep. John W. Weeks has requested that the Society he represented at the hearing on March 6th, the Council voted to appoint you^its delegate, and we hope that you can attend the hearing. The hill at present is limited to game hirds, and these are not defined in such a way that sandpipers, herons, and all the so-called marsh, beach, and shore hirds are included. It seems to us that the hill should cover not only these, hut all migratory hirds, and we have written to Rep. Weeks, asking why it was not so drawn. He replies as follows, (letter of Peh. 22):- «I do not think it is necessary, and prohahly not expedient, to limit the hill to migratory game hirds. As the hill was ^ originally introduced, however, it applied only to game hirds. Mr. Shiras of Pennsylvania, when a Member of the House, was interested in this matter and limited his hill to gajne hirds, and there have heen some others who have thought it possible to make that limitation. I shall urge, however, that it appj.y to all m igratory hirds when the matter comes before the Committee, w N Our Society approves of this change. Sec. %3, "beginning with line 15, provide©, "That nothing herein contained shall deem4^to interfere with the local laws of the States and Territories for the protection of game localized within their borders. •• If this provision means that a ptate can provide a long, open-season on game localized within its borders, which cannot be interfered with by this aat, the act will be of no effect. Rep. Weeks writes - "Our great difficulty is to find a Constitutional warrant for this legislation, 1 think otherwise it meets with very general approval. •• In an editorial in the Transcript (Peb. 16) it is said, "Perhaps this latter clause (the one under discussion) will be relied on to save the bill from any serious challenge of its constitutionali V ." We would suggest that this clause be amended to read • "Provided, however. That nothing herein contained shall be deemed to lessen or •■ — "" ■ diminish* the protection afforded by the local laws of the States and Territories €rf game found within their borders." We do not ask to have this amendment offered, since conditions which led to inserting the clause are not understood; but it seems clear that the clause in question requires revision for reasons which we have pointed out. I shall be ^'^ery glad to receive any suggestions from you in regard to modifications in the bill. These will be considered by our legislative coromittee of which Dr. C. W. Townsend is the ornithologist. In matters of legislation we keep in close touch with Mr. William Brewster, Mr. Charles P. Batchelder, and Dr. G. M.

The Institute has been in operation since June, 1935. A brief history of its organization and its activities' to date, pre- pared by Professor Lehenbauer and Mr. Honrichs, the Botanist- m-charge, is attached. So far the Institute has been entirely dependent for its operation on F.E.R.A. and W.P.'i. These emergency Administrations have supplied from their unemiDloyed non-manual workers the Institute personnel. It has been, and is considered one of the most successful and the most valuable of their projects. It is believed that the Institute should now be placed on a sound basis for research work as a continu- ing project. The Institute Committee therefore respectfully submits herewith a budget for a twelve-month Deriod, and asks that it be given careful and favorable consideration. S. Allan Lough, Ph.D. BUlJGrET I.

Native wild plants are relatively abundant and undisturbed in many places and are still being used medicinally by I;idians native to the re.gion, sometimes with results surprising to white observers. IV. Local representatives of the U.S. Ir.dian Service, and the University of N.;vada are actively interested in the project, and are ready to cooperate and to contribute space and other facilities. Laboratory men of outstanding importance in the pharmacological field, working in San Francisco and vicinity, are interested and vail cooperate, probably to the extent of finding space and suTplyir.p some technical supervision to a research assistant in uhat field. V. VI VII Initial research has clready boen done. The next step should be the laying out and planting of the Indian Botanical Gardens at the Carson Indian School, where land and some labor to be contributed by the very much interested Indian students arc available. But the work cannot go on unless funds are forthcoming ' to employ, on a more certain basis than a V/.P.A. payroll, a botanist to plan and supervise the work. Chemical studies, for which plant material is already collect- ed, should be instituted. Pharmacological experiments should be started within a relatively short time after the chemical work gets under way. Or even sooner, since much m-terial is already available for use in such laboratory work. In addition to the probability that scientific research of this character would discover and make available new chemical coiq^ounds v/ith true therapeutic values, other benefits should accrue ♦ Plant collecting would offer a means of supplementing the utterly inadequate incomes of a certain number of Indian families in the area. Expcrimr.nts might demonstrate that certain indigenous plants vi th commercial value could be cultivated as an additional croa by I-i:Ii .:i cr white ranchers in favorable localities. -5- Spocics of considerable commorclcil v; luc, nor; imported from other countrivjs where thoy grow under soil r.nd clim. tic con- ditions similar to those of the Great B.isin, might be success- fully introduced and cultivated, INDIAN BOT'NICAL INGTITUTE C0::MITTEE (Sgd.

MILLER III m ntid s. m.lan lough A BRIZF HISTORICAL SKETCH 0? THE INDI/OT BOTANICAL INSTIIUTE By Professor P. A. Lehenbauer, Biology Dept* , U.of Nevada. Early in the siunmer of 1935 there came to my office a Dr. Tranter to discuss with me the sub.^ect of medicinal plants. Dr. Tranter is interested in medicinal plants from the pharmacological and medical view points. As a botanist, I was much interested in this group of pL'^nts largely due to the fact that for a number of years, from time to time, specimens of plants o.f purported medic- inal value either have been brought to me in person or sent to me for identific .tion and for information in regard to their use. The statement usually made in regard to such plants is that tliey were or are being used by the medicine men of the native tribes of Indians for the cure of certain ailments or diseases. Dr. Tranter and the writer agreed that our present knowledge pertaining to plants used by the Indians of the Great Basin was perhaps not only fragmentary but also incomplete and that an effort should be made to study carefully and systematically all the pub- lished data in regard to the medicinal plants of the Great Basin and assemble this data in useable form. This discussion occured at the time v/hen efforts were being made to find work for so-called white-collar unemployed. It cccured therefor to us that a study of the scientific literature dealing with plants used by the Western American Indians, and particularly with those plants indigenous to the Great B^.sin, would be a worth while project in that it would not only employ a number of people in need of work but also give us much desired and useful information. With this in mind it was decided to interview Miss Bowler, the Superintendent of the Stev;art Office of Indian affairs at Stewart, Nevada. Not only did Miss Bowler manifest much interest in the project, but she whole-heartedly offered her help and cooperation in the project. The project was then presented to the local office of the F.E.R.A- which organization £igreed to provide funds for labor and to provide such trained unemployed as v/ere available. the services We were most fortunate to obtain at this time, of Mr. James Henrichs, v/ho was unemployed at this time, to under- take the supervision of the work. He is a graduate of the Univ- ersity of Nevaaa, with a major in botany and has had a year of graauate work in botany in the University of Illinois. Mr. Henrichs was provided with space in the botanical laboratory and initially with the services of two typists. Later, at the opening of school work in August, the University thru its president Dr. Clark, pro- vided him with quarters in the vacated chemistry building. There the project has grown until several rooms are being occupied and as many as 14 people have been given steady employment. •2- Mr. Honrichs has been working conscientiously with his group of men and women, looking up references in the literatuiv- , making card indexes for permanent file and in many cases abstracting scientific articles in journals borrowed from libraries outside the state. He has prep.ared also a list of plants now growing wild in Nevada which plants have been reported m the literature as having been used medicinally by certain Indian tribes. Under his direction and supervision a number of University students, receiving Federal aide, have been collecting seeds of many native Nevada plants in suiYicient quantities for planting. It is planned to grow plants fj^om these seeds in a plant garden in sufficient quantity so that intensive research can be carried out from the standpoint of culture, chemical enmpounds and pharmacological effects^ -3- A BRIEF SKETCH OF THE INDI BOTANICAL INSTITUTE t-xl ' PLAInTS for THE FUTURE MEDICINAL PLANT G/^RDEIT The conunittee, consisting of Dr. Tranter, Miss Bov/lor^ Dr. V/iley, the Principal of ttie Indian School at Stewart and the writer have decided that in connection with the study of the literature dealing with pLants used by the Indians a garden in which native plants could be grown for stcdy was most desirable. For such a garden Miss Bowler and Dr, Wiluv have offered for use a tract of uncleared sagebrush land, approximately 40 acres in size, lying immediately to the west of the Carson Indian School. It is hoped thrt this land may be cleared and prepared for p]r nt- ing by means of W.P.A. unemployed labor, early in the year. This garden v/o^jld provide plant material for chemical analysis and the isolation of compounds for research in pharmacology. In addition much important inx'ormation could be acquired on culture methods of native plants and on the relations of environment factors to chemical composition. 3CI£FTIFIC RESEARCH Investigations in regard to the composition of plants and •studies, directed towards the use of plants in medicine offer opportunities for fruitful results. This is particularly true of many plants growing wild in the Great Basin^ ITiat many of these plants contain useful compounds which have curative properties can hardly be doubted. The Indiaji medicine men have used plpjits for the treatment of diseases for many years and even now they depend upon them almost entirely for the relieving of pain and for the elimination of infection. Kr:ny plants are used by the medicine men which are not reported as of medicinal use in the literature. Little is knovm scientifically about the compounds contained in these plants and perhaps still less of the pharma- cological effects of them. Many plants too are listed in the literature as having been used by medicine men for the tro^ tment of certain diseas^^s of v;hich not much is knovm scientifically. Biochemical and pharmacological studies in many instances have not been made. Such studies, if made, would no doubt result in the discovery of many useful compounds in medicine. A number of analytical studies of plants indigenous to the Great Basin have been made in recent vears in the University of Fevada. Dr. Maxwell Adams, in charge*' of the laboratories of organ- ic chemistry has been interested in the essential oils of desert T^lants. His investigations^- though not carried out primarily from the viewpoint of medicinal compounds have, nevertheless, macie vailable oils and other compounds of these plants in sufficient quantity which may be used for further studies. These oils and ether substances are now in storage and are available to us when- ever the services of a biochemist are placed at our disposal. -4- The Gr^at B'^sin also offers opportunities for fruitful rosearch because there -^r^ many areas where the flora of native v;ild plants is still relatively abundont rind undisturbed. H..re too 9 the medicine man is still candying on. The medicine man is rapidly going oit of existence and with his passing much information no doubt will be lost. The medicine man, by nr ture and perhaps from experience, is secretive towards the white man, yet he will give information if tactfully and judiciously approached. Efforts should be directed to make sympathetic con- tact with the medicine men in order to obtain some of their loiow- ledge in regard, to the medicinal use of native plants. This information may be of use and bear fruit if carried through care- ful and systematic channels of scientific research. LASTLY The Great Basin offers also many opportunities in botanical research. This is particularly true in regard to the ecological aspects of medicinal plants. The Indian medicine man apparently not only knows which plant to use, but also where to .collect it rjid at what period of its development. It is known to botanists that certain chemical compounds develop in the plant only during Certain stcges of its development. The relations of soils and of other factors in climate operating above the soil in relation to the development of plant compounds is one which needs further investigation. The Gre t B asin is characterized by many soil t^/pes and varied climates. An important ecolo^-ical factor in the development of medicinal compounds in plants may be found to be caused" by the rbunaance of actinic rays prevailing in the climate of the Great Basin. A m^^dicinal plant garden, for growing in- digenous plants under natur'^.l conditions would, therefore be most d-^sirable. In this connection it is of interest to note that iDphedra, the Chinese Ma-Kuang furnishes rai important medicinal compouadi, ephedrine , much used by -.ur medical profession. This Ma -Huang pl.:.nt Ephedra intermedia is a native of certain parts of China from which country it is imported into this country. Yet, we have growing in the Great Basin 4 to 6 speci^^s of Ephedra. In- vestigations carried out by commercial drug companies have not found ephedrine in our native speciesi and v/ill be found if re- investigated from the viev/point of soils^ altitude, and stige of development of the plant. An analytical study of several plants in one of our university laboratories has revealed one single specimen to have an alkaloid ephedrine. IN CONCLUSION series of investigations of our native Indian medicinal plraits should be instituted. These investig tions should consist m studies pertaining to the cultural requireme.ats from the stand- point of soils and climate. Also biochemical studies should be made of the compounds produced by these plants. For these studies plants should be grov/n in sufficient quantity in a pl-ant garden. Lastly the chemical compounds should be investig'.ted from the pharmacological viewpoint to determine their value in medicine. •5- RESHARCH IN TIffi LITERATURE TERTAINING TO PLANTS USED IN MEDICINE BY NORTH AMERIC>rN INDIANS The Institute has bv.on in operation since Jun.. 5, 1935. From June 5, 1935 to October 28, 1935 this work was carried on under an F.E.R.A. \mite Coll-^r project. From October 28th to the present time the project has bv^en under V^f.P.A. direction. The staff is now complete with 14 members supplemented by 15 students lander the N-tional Youth Mov<:;ment. The research material is gathered from books, publications, prjnphluts, journals 9 these and other sources where this m-^.terial may bv^ found. The material is then typed on paper ready for trans- x^errinp: to 3»' x 5" plain cards. Each card represents one plant mployv tic clr.ssification of plants. Those plants whose 3" X 5" card ing to the systems names are longer and more detailed than can go on a are typed on 32 C grade 8-^-" x 11" paper and filed according to the system of classification as are the smaller cards. Each card and each paper ar^ typed in triplicates. There are now on hand app- roximately 25,000 cards r^^pres^^nting some 8000 different remedies and cures. There are approximately 5,000 different plants rep- resented v/hich ar^ purported to have medicinal properties. The Institute has made a list of medicinal plants to be found in Nev- ada and -re collecting seeds of these plants and placing the clean- ed seed in 8 dram, metal screw cap vials in preparation for the -clouting program this spring. The Institute has on hand some 250 T)lants with seed and of this number approximately 100 vials of different seeds are cleaned and ready for use. One member of the staff is ^^ _iving a series of talks to the children of the Carson Indian School in -rn endeavor to n-.ke con- TTxts with our local groups of Indians and learn of tlie plants used by them for medicinal purposes. The children of the Indian School have already given som^j material on this subject and are most willing to cooperate and to collv::Ct seeds, plants and such information as is desired. The same member v/ill also contact medicine men of the local tribes on the various reservations in an attempt to collect the plants used by them for medicinal purposes. Material is also being collected on the growing of medicinal plants and on the various properties purported to be found in the plants which are used in medicine. This material is also filed and ready for reference work at any time. A list of plants used in various diseases is also k^pt. Fil- ing not only under the Botanical najne , but also under the diseases for v\^hich thev are used. This is more or less of a list for '■y particular diseases (By) James R, Ilenrichs Botanist-in-Charge (' UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR OFFICE OF INDIAN AFFAIRS FIELD SERVICE Carson Indian Agency- Stewart, Nevada April 22, 1936 Dr, C. Hart Merriam 1919 Sixteenth St. Washington, D. C. Dear Dr. Merriam: Subject: Indian Botanical Institute I was very happy to have your letter of April 10. I really do feel that the Indian Botanical Institute work can be of genuine significance if we can only obtain the necessary support. I read your letter at the Committee meeting Friday. Professor Lehenbauer, Head of the Botany Depart- ment at the University of Nevada, was very much in sympathy with your comments about the necessity for painstaking identification of the desert plants. He is constantly confronted with unscientific and hasty botan- ical work throughout the Great Basin. I am enclosing a copy of a letter going forward today to Pearl Chase which is self-explanatory. If you have any suggestions at all as to sources from which financial help for the coming year might be sought in order to keep the project going and to start the gardens themselves, we will be most appreciative.

Inst, regarding tne Grizzly skull, to hand on my return to the City, yesterday. I do not wish to part with it, for I consider it really the "best specimen I have of a collection of skulls, personally taken, of wild animals, at odd times during the last 40 years; and, moreover, I had promised Mr. Figgins that in case of my demise I had instructed my wife to turn over to him or the Museiam represented by him, everything in my collection of skulls, Indian relics, etc, that the musetan would care for and take care of, A brief history of this particular head is as follows^ In the year eighteen hundred and eighty-something( I for- get the exact date, which was inscribed on the skull, and which I hope, if you have removed by cleaning, you have preserved for ma) I had a contract for the construction of irrigation canals for the Wyoming Development Company^ from the Sabelle and Laramie Rivers, covering agricultural lands in the vicinity of what is now the town of Wheatland, Wyo, , some 75 miles or such a matter north of Cheyenne, Wyoming* The cattle men owning the cattle on this range combined to hold me up for twelve cents per pound for beef for my numer- ous construction camps, the result being that I put a hunter into the fidld, by the name of Harry Yountz, an old Indian scout, and I was told formerly game keeper in the Yellowstone Park under Carl Schurtz, in earlier days, to supply my camps with elk, deer and antelope meat at four cents per pound. Having gone into camp near Sabelle Hole, unhitched his team and tied them and his dog to the wagon wheels, he proceeded afoot to investigate the noise of grunting, or whatever you call it, of bear, out of eight on the flat top near by. On ar- riving at the edge of the flat top and pearing over he discover- ed within 30 or 40 yards of him^ one bear lying down and the other one walking about It emitting the noises he had heard. With hito single-barrel Sharps rifle he aimed to break the neck of the bear standing, and upon its discharge this bear fell apparently d^ad, but the one lying down immediately charged him, and he in his customary fool-hardy manner had omitted to to first pull an extra shell from his cartridge belt^ and before he could do so and inject it the bear was Upon him and raised to strike , and he with yell and flourish of rifle Jumped aside, and having succeeded in injecting a fresh shell, at close quarters, fortunately shot the bear through the heart, and in its death struggles he told me it tore up the C.M.U. 5/29/14 roots of small trees, brush and everything within its reach. In the mean time the first bear that he supposed he had killed, recovered and ran away, apparently being only creased* After skinning the bear, he brought up one of his pack horses accustomed to such work, but the hide was so largs and heavy that after numerous efforts with the aid of his lariat and otherwise, he was unable to load it on to the horse on account of its weight, and was compelled to tack it out on ttas ground to let it dry out for a day or so first, but the -hide on the wethers and back was so thick that this process resulted in the sloughing off of much of the hair from the shoulders and ruined the hide. Upon his report of this and showing me the head upon his return to camp, I insisted upon his iimnediately returning with me to assist me in personally taking the other bear or* similar one, promising him a bonus of |50. 00 if we succeeded and in any event assisting him in loading up with elk at his contract price. After several days hunting we failed to find the object of our search, although we did find where it liad killed a cow and a calf, and had made its lair apparently for three successive nights close by, during which time it had devoured this cow and calf, and the skins, including that striffTHown from the leg bone^being fresh and no hair sloughed, notwith- standing that a portion of it was in water and the balance on the ground adjoining and exposed to the air, a sure indication that it had just finished the job. Trusting the foregoing may prove satisfactory, al- though more or less than you cared for, I beg to remain^ Very truly yours, wcb/jbb 1 .IM. / -A^^ji '^eurt /S-l^- IBI^ (f \> 1 C mz-ziis JKa>u'A V^M^^ v!*\^>^ h^JLjZjf^- II ? 0^ Ao-VW |A^"vl^-J»^ V^^r«-J2-A^ ^ -^ m^ i_^)j ^^^ j^.^-^^v^xaiw^, L^ ^a ^aUu itiJ,,^, ,,^^^^^^1^ ^ ^Lat^tM^ (►V-C'V- ^^ ibbbu 1a4>^^>I I '*-*-*A', UAv^XcA^vr- ';3*N^ wy-J3L (v^^AA-sjlAr W^ '^■-•'^^-*-' Vw«rv\AJL/ O-^^ArvXJO tvw iVj W-'Wv-t- OjLAAi^^^ vV vft "mJv*^ Wy-wJ^Ai-r'^ X C0>/»^wAw<>4>S>-flrvo ^ iU~+^U4^V ftAMx^rvj p.nrvJL /*Ji-oJuL i^iJUj — CV^..4-^ |aa^-<^^o 6^ ^Wrd tM-«V\,- iV (^ VT (Vv^s.|uV^ V^XA/Vvi'v^-W tAl^^V/^ tw ftAslXXt^ "•V^?
