D ear ’7aldo. rn get an accurate figure for the cost of travel in South America, is just ahout iinpossible^ the most that can be done is to geve ar^proximate cXinounts. Last night I looked over mj/’ South A^uierican records but could not find any tiling that would be of any great help in determining present exx^enses of tra.vel^for several reasons * In the first i.)lace most of my trc^vel v/as in the interior and tnat along the coast was made on the regular steaiaship lines which touch at every port tna.t amounts to anything at all, as far as being able to live there is concerned* These steamship lines charge rates which you can get at the Pan American Union, if not ± C u me know and I will get theia here. That is^get the rates from port to port. You will find that it will take considerable planning after you get in South America to catch the steam- ships so as not to waste time waiting for them. By that I raean .that after you get the schedules of saillngs^you will often find t’lc.t you can get to al^^the ports you wish to e next stop at, most quickly, by going ^ certain port^to tn one", working there_, and then catching the next steamer bacx to the port you skipped. So you can often save time and ^ money by working back and forth along the coast. You can t very well plan this sort of coast Itinerary uipil_ you get dovrn there. but that is of no importance. We did that sort of thing on the West coast when I was down there and it worx- ed very well. When you are on the steamers tne only exj^ense^you have is the passage money, except for moderate tips. In tiiq)* in;-’- don't spoil them, as tney are not used to the large tips v/e^'Tive in the States, but you will find tipping a very nec- essary evil but a small item. As i or sailinj_^ /esselo oe ween ports, I would not count on them at all except as you YOU can work them in after you get down there. You don t ing vessels n^ed to worry about what the passage on sai would cost as it will be less than on a steamer, unless you charter the whole boat, when it might be cheap or inorainate- ly expensive de f'iding on how much they think tney c,an mcixe you pay.. It will be high if they get you where they know you have to have theil* boat. o Te foregoing covers boat travel the coast I think, -'/hen you stop at the saaller coast towns^such as Paita, PacasEiayo , Llollendo , Iquiciue , Antafogasta, uo^iulmbo, etc., on the west coast you won’t find mch in the way ^ of attractive hotels, but you can alwa^get soiie sort oi acGonodations.even if in ihe s.aailest^ you ha.ve to live in a boardinv house or pension. In the larger towns there are fair hotels. Sven in the hotels in the larger cities it se« .3 to lie that "JT-OO a day ought to cover living ex- penses. This figure was given me by a travel J 5 ureau here and a,ppears about right . On the East coast I did less steamer travel than on the West coast but the expense will be the same^ approx- laately,»lilla the etea.aer service Is better. Of course travel is much more expensive than be- fore the war but £or all that the figure you mentioned to me, 1200 to 1300 per month_, strikes me as about rign^ t^'^nf.obable sort of v/ork you are going to do, collecting, it is pioocbl that the lower figure will be enougn^as you will not oe in the bi':>- cities much. These figures of course ao not incluae salary? You will find English pounds the universal _ money , that is the gold pound and not the xjound nooe. It is al ^y advisable to figure on expenses being higher tnan you estimci. e. It is highly Important to have a passport and aoove- all to vet letters in Washixigton from the ambassadors and ministers of the South American countries .adores sea oo tne oSiciSs of their countries , asking them lo give you every help in your Important mission. They are invaluable. Ana ^ after vou get down there^use them to get letters from txie high officials there, for the same purpose>as a letoex irom an official of and in the country is more valuable than fuum one in the United States. But don't make c special tup to the capitals of the countries to get them unless rea_ convenient ^ You will want to know Spanish, though English will do. But you can learn Spanish on the way down as lu is very easy to learn, as it has regular rules ± or pronancicctio. . It seems to me you should be aole to do some Very valuable work down there and the trip ‘‘"ff f ® feasible. There is just one ihing. You Pan American Union if there are about p many stea^iers lun irrg along the coasts as there were before^ the war, as tne sn i .. industry is none too prosperous nowcidcx.ys. -If txhei’e is anything else you wish to know please let me know and I will try to give it prompter attention 0 iruJlj^ Tt S, Ia) \ FORM.

Hence til© request that Dr. Soluaitt resubBdt his plan at the primer tiae. In fact, the subcoraaitte© ooiaidered, and I think correctly, that it was only con^jetent to ask© recoBaaendations for the first term. Tlie reooiaaeniatlon of the subcoiaaittee of ifriich I was not a raeraber was unaniioois, and I coHpletely agreed witli them, hence I recosaaonded ■to you to take the action you did. In opinion, -^le report of the sub- comaitte© so far from being ‘’amazing” is in the best interest of the Museum and in conformity with the intent of the textatrix. I&y I be permitted to add that as head mrator of the Departanent, 1 had another and very weighty reason for concurring in the reoomendation of tlse subccsmittee. I have above alluded to the lack of a sufficient scientific staff in this Department. Year after year this defiiiency has l^en coBiplalned of. It is serious in nearly all the divisions. But in none aor© so than in the Division of Ifeirine Invertebrates. Dr. Sohiaitt himself has stressed the point on ell occasions, calling attention to the fact that his respomibility exceeds that of all the other curators. It lias been icy hope ever since I assumed charge of the Biological Departmfent; that I mi^t live ■to see a euratrai* in charge of each of the iiwer^tebrat© plyla. Ho one knows bet-ter then you that the fulfilment of this hope has only been deferred because of lack of funds. It does not look to me as if this unfortunate condition is likely to change during the iar®dlate future. Under these eireumfl^tanoes I confess that I a® ■unable to see hew 1 could recoiamend that the services of the Cura^tor of -^rlne Invertebrates be dispenses with for two years. For that Is wliat the p'oposi'tdon asoanta to. There can be no doubt that to get ■&© benefit of the Bacon scholarship. Dr. Schmitt would have to divest hiiimelf of ell curatorial duties. 1 do not see how he could be half curator and half traveling scholar. 1 suppose Dr. Schmitt expects his salary as curator ■to continue while enjoying the scholarship) but how, as head curator, could I justify a recosKsendation to that effect wliil© at the same titm elaiaorii:^ for more apivopriations because his di^vision is undermiinedl This consideration, as stated above, with which the subcoHaaittee l«id nothing to do, has been a very ■weigh^ty contributory reason for ay recoEoendation tliat no bindir^g action should be taken at the present time wi^th regard to what Dr. Schmitt jnsy do or not do in 1925~1927 or 1926«1928. The recommendation to postpone decision on his application was ■wltlioist prejudice, and does not justi^ his Boiaewhat inept question which he feels "cons trained to ask, if aeabers of the Museum ©■taff are to ’« excluded from the benefits of ■this scViolarshipi Kobo^ has attempted to exclode him. n V s In oonclusligaa X oonsetjuaatly recossaond timt I^» 3flhadtt b© jiotifiecl that ther© appears to b® no rsaaon for rertrtciJOE ai^Qval of the aubcoesBiitteo's dooisioa* I wcBild further r©c®»t»na that a cf prosontt ootwnieati^a b© suteilttod to Ifr* Scft'uaitt, nd’t'! your reply to him.

The income resulting from the securities for 1920, 1921, and 1922 was added to the #45,000, already received, making a total of #48,000 so that late in 1923 the sum of #2400 became available for the carrying out of the conditions of said scholarship* Upon receipt of your application in October, 19E3, it was forwarded to Dr. Stejneger, who held it up until H^veniber 28, in the hope that other applications might come in. On that date he appointed a subcommittee for the purpose of examining your application, and on December 10, the committed submitted its report, copy of which is enclosed. In making its report the committee calls attention, first, that the project is satisfactory as to merit, scope and general plan; second, it conforms with the rules approved by the Secretary; third, that as tlie work is not expected to begin until July, 1925, or July, 192e3, they find it impossible to recommend action at the present time; fourth, that the applicat’ an be returned to you with the request that you re-submit it "when you are in position to take up the work mthout undue delay; fifth, that ttie scholarship again be advertised and be given wider publicity. There was nothing in the subcommittee’s renort or in Dr. Stejneger’s letter, dated February 23, transmitting same, suggesting that tiiey were prejudiced against, you, or any member of the staff being granted this scholarship. I am, therefore, forwarding all papers in the matter to the Secretary with the recommendation that announcement of this scholarship be made in Science every other week for two months, as a paid advertisement; fiirthermore that the Editor of the Smithsonian institution be asked to make suggestions as to fur-thor publicity. Upon receipt of your letter of March 10, I referred same to Dr. Stejneger for suggestions and recornmeniations as he desired to make. A copy of his reply is sent to you herevrith at his request.

ESTENSION OF TIIiE IH APPLYING FOR OT TRAVELLING SCHOLARSilP. The Secretary of -the Smithsonian Institution at Tfashington has just announced that the time limit for receiving applications for the Walter Rathbone Bacon Travelling Scholarship has been extended to June^l, 1924. This scholarship, founded throu^ a bequest from Mrs. Virginia Purdy Bacon of New York, is for the "study of the fauna of countries other than the United States", the amount available being about |2,400 per year. Applications for this scholarship, addressed to the Secretary of the Smi-thsonian Institution, should contain a detailed plan for the proposed study including a statement as to the faunal problems involved; -the reasons 'v.’hy it should be -undertaken; the benefits that are expected to accrue; the length of time considered necessary for the carrying out of the project; "the estiims-ted cost; and -the scientific and physical qualifications of -the applicant to undertake -the project. The scholarship will be awarded for a term of two years. If at -the expiration of -the term it is desired to extend -the -time, the incumbent shall make application a sufficient time in advance, accompanied by a statement as to the necessity for such extension. All collections, photographs, records, and equipment become the property of the Institution* The incumbent shall not engage in work for remuneration or receive siilary from other sources than the Institution or its branches during the period of the occupancy of this scholarship.

APPLICATION OP WALDO L. SCmilTT FOR THE WALTER RATBBONE BACON SaiOL^iRSHIP. (1;. Problem.- A monographic account of the Macrurous Crustacea of South America* (2) . Object.- I'o make a tiiorough ecologic, distributional, andsystematic study of the caFcinological fauna of South America, with especial 'attention to the macrurous, or shrimp-like forms, for the parpose of pr facing a systematic, monographic account of them, embodying notes made in the field on their ecology, in the broadest sense, and their local, as well as geographical distribution. (3) * Reasons for underta king this research .- (^r present knowledge, as well as the materTaf^eS^ in our collections of South American forms, is extreme- ly meager ♦ . , tlt j i a • Next to its representation of, and reports upon tne Nortn American fauna, the National Itiseum should stand first in the world in its South /Jner- ican representation. ^ The closer the relations become between the United States and pouth American countries, and the more the latter become developed, the more need there will be to thorou^ily understand the South American fauna in its entirety. Rather than to await the march of eventg, the lead should be t^en while we are still able to command it rather than to permit some other insti- tution to have the first opportunity to till the virgin field of the South American iiwertebrate fauna. Almost, and I think I am safe in saying, vdthout exception, the many scientific expeditions to South America, especially those of recent years, h we had other objectives than a study of the invertebrate fauna, insects ex^pted. There hove been quests without number, for plants and birds, manmals and in- sects, but the other invertebrate? Crustacea and their associated fauna, have been Wtually neglected, a rather one sided condition of affairs from a zoolog- ical point of view, wViich a solution of the above 'problem and its related phases would remedy in a large measure. ^ (4). Benefits.- These are in part brought out under xleaso ns aoo^e. The iJaidonal tiiseum's Soutin American collections would oecome more balanced ^ough the accession of the invertebrates associated with, and col- lected in the course of* tVie carcinological studies I desire to make.^ The interests of the National Museum, next to those in North America should, and undoubtedly will be centered in South America as time goes on. In particular there ?rould be returned to the Iluseum, just that material "whiKh Mary Rathbun needs and desires to properly round out and complete her series of c oaprehensive monographs on American crabs* She has just com- pleted the second of a projected series of five bulletins on these forms ^ and is in some directions rather seriously handicapped for want of sufficient South American material* This would be an op}X>rtune time to secure this material for her, being right in line with the studies I am desirous of undertaking, and their value would be more than doubled if undertaken while l^ss Rathbun’ s mono- graphs are still in the maJcing. (5) Plan.- To spend fwo periods of about six months each, maicing the necessary field ’studies and collections, one in each of the two years allofred xinder a grant of the scholarship, with an intervening, and a final period each also of about six months to be spent in laboratory study in order to permit the best and proper working up of the notes and material upon which the results of proposed research will be based. A detailed itinerary of the field work obviously can not be presented; in general it is planned to cover the entire coast of South America in both field trips, or half the distance in each, as the exigencies of the first field period vrould determine. As many stops would be made of sufficient duration to perEiit thorou^ acquaintance witli the crustaceans and associated fauna at any one place of sojown. These stops would be largely gcwerned by trans- portation from place to place, the feasibility of working ai^’- given locality, and the faunal and geographic area represented by it. In view of funds available under the terras of the scholprship, fieldwork might be limited to five months or extended to as much as seven, but this cannot be arbitrarily detenained beforehand horrever, an average of about six months spent in the field would seem to be the most practicable arrangement; at least a cofresponding amount of time would be required to work up the notes and results so obtained '^e dependence of ecological and distributional studies upon a correct systematic background is too obvious to mention. The laboratory studies vitally necessary to the success of the above outlined faunal problem would have to be condricted in a properly equipped laboratory, where both the necessary literature, and extensive stucfy collections areavailsile. ihis would, mthout question, mean conducting tiiese laboratory studies at the United States Rational Museum. (6) . Cost.- The funds available in a large measure have necessitated the above plan, v/hich however , from the other considerations mentioned above is probably the one most conducive to the working out of the problem to be solved. Tliese funds, "about ^2,500," in any one year would only permit five to seven months field work, including travelling, living and incidental expenses, equipnent, etc. This estimate is based in part on one given me by Dr. J. H. hose, who has undertaken several expeditions to South America under the auspices of the Carnegie Institution, and upon the advice of such experienced South American travellers as Dr. Alex. Tfetmore of the Biological Survey, Mr. Lyster H. Dewey of the Bureau of Plant Indiistry, and my brother H . R. Schmitt, f cr three years South iUnerican observer for the Carnegie Institution Department of Terrestrial Magnetism. ^ It is assumed that I would be granted official leave, (with pay) lYom my ofiicial duties here at the Museum. In view of the complete utilization of the funds of the scholarship for the field studies, I would need at least two thirds of mjr salary at the time, for the support of my family during the tenure of the scholarshipm, and iiyself during the laboratory periods between field trips. If granted the scholarship, I expect to, and would agree to devote up to one third of ny salary to the hiring of temporary assi stance here in the Division of l«iarine Invertebrates to li^.ten the task of caring far the work of that Division which Miss Rathbun and Mr. Shoemaker are willing to assume in furtherance of mv anolication.

American Consular Service Punta -arenas, Chile, November 30, 19£5. iJr . .valdo 1. Cchraitt, c/o ^iiflorican Consul, Llonte video , Uruguay. .Sir : ■^^eceipt is acknowledged oi your recent, undated, letter, v.(ith reference to your proposed trip to funta .arenas and to the seven cases of material which you t had shioped care of this Consulate. Sometime ago this office received an instruction from the department of Utate to the effect that the seven oases of material had been sent care of the American Consul at Punta -renas, Chile, but no uill of lading or Consular invoices for the goods were ever received. They arrived here on the steamship dIO dUENO in early October, and in the early part of November I received a notice that they had to be dis-. p ached from the customs house. Thinking that you would arrive shortly, I had then dispatched on a guarantee that the shipping documents would be deli- vered within three months. f therefore have to re- que*^^ that you for ward them as soon as possible, if they are in your possession, or notify whoever has them 2 them to do 3o immediately. The caoes are temporarily stored at the Consulate, and as one of them containing preserving fluid was leak- ing badly, I had a key made to fit the lock, and stopped up Ihe leakage . In order to do this it was necessary to empty the liquid into empty galoline tins and have the tank resoldered in various places. 1 will now proceed to answer your questions in their order: 1.- I am to-day forwarding under separate cover nine letters including one registered letter, which were received addressed to you care of this Consulate. £.- Expenses incurred so far have heen for despatch- ing the goods from the customs, cartage to the Consulate, and for having a key made to open the cases, and the re- soldering of the tank. IJone of the bills have oeen presented as yet, but as soon as they are I will inform you immediately. as stated, the cases are now tempo- rarily at the Consulate, and I will leave them here un- til 1 hear definitely from you whether you will come this year or liot, and whether you will want the three cases sent to I'uerto Madryn. I have already arranged to have then stored in the warehouse of the "Cociedad Anonima Ganadera y Comeruial ivienendez Behety” in the event that you should not be able to reach here this year . 3 year. The charge for storage there will he very little, probably not more than fifty pesos for the year for all of them, including the extra crate or case you ask about in question No. 7 . 3. - as the key I had made fits all the locks, I believe I can distinguish which chests you refer to by the contents. Having no bill of lading, or invoice to describe the cases or their contents, and as the cases are not numbered or marked in any way other than the address, had I not been able to open them, it would probably have been impossible to have identified them. 4. - The costal steamers running between Buenos Aires and Bunta .arenas take from ten to twelve days for the trip. Bailing are about one every week during the summer months. The trip to Puerto Llad- ryn takes about five or six days . I am uncertain as to the cost of shipping the three cases mentioned as far as Puerto IJadryn, and as to whether they could be sent collect, but in any event, if it were necessary I could pay here and send you the bill. 5. - The service between Punta arenas and the Palklanda is very irregular and not very good. The "oociedad Anonirna Ganadera y Comercial Menendez Behety" during during the summer months run several small steamships between these two points with accomodations for a few first class passengers. The sailings are about every fifteen to twenty days, during January to May inclusive Occasionally other steamers also stop at the Falkland Islands either going to or coming from Pun ta. Arenas . 6.- V/ith good connections a letter would reach Montevideo in from 13 to 15 days. 7 .- oee no . £ .

Translation. Montevideo, s ^ A\igust 20, 1926. /z / Dear Mr. Schmitt: I thank you very much for your friendly letter and the great trouhle you have taken on account of the periodical ’’System on the Farm”. I have also received your psimphlet ’’The Ivlacruran, Anomuran and Stomatopod Crustaceans”, and have rejoiced to again see a sign of life from you. On the other hand, I have not received the pamphlets of Wilson, and it would be a pity if they were lost, Gan I also get from the Museum the works of Harring on Rotifera? He has described many new species which I would like to know. Miss de Franco has often inquired about you. She will unfortunately leave Puerto de la Paloma; or rather she is to take the direction of another school in Rocha, and remains there only until the end of the year. She will be very much pleased with the * Dottles and will send many of them back to you again filled. It would be well for you to send the bottles to the North American Gonsnl and not to the Fisheries Institute, for Mr. Bazzano is no longer director and the Institute has already gone all to pieces. Tremoler^s also will go away now, and does not work any more. Only the American Consul will receive the bottles without having to pay any duty. Sven the Institute of Fisheries must pay duty. When the American Consul gets the Dox, it will be an easy matter to send it to Miss Franco, It pleases me immensely to be able to greet you here again, if only for a short time. If you would only let me know at the right time by what steamer you will arrive here. Prof. Metcalf was friendly enough to send me the photograph which he has made of us. When you can, send me the photographs made by you I have sent some to Miss de Franco, With hearty greetings, yours sincerely. R. Thomsen. JUAN TREMOLERAS PIEDRAS 194 MOIsTaTEVIIDBO (URUGUAY) September 17, 1927 Dr. Waldo I. Schmitt D. S. National Museum, Washington, D.C. My dear Dr Schmitt: , I will try to write english without looking on the dicjionnary and notwithstanding I hope you will be able to understand my slang. Two days after I had send you the maps and photograph, I have also sent you a letter under separate cover(of course, if two days later). You will find enclosed a coppy of that letter and also a copy of outline of the planed trip to eastern Bolivia. I was very pleased to knov/ that you arrived safely home, but regret that you could not go to Florida and that a revisiting to South America must be adjourned. I hope that for your next visit to Uruguay I’ll be able to offer you and your family two beautiful and comfortable rooms in my new home. It seams that finally, Gott sei Dank, every thing is going all right with me. The german painter in Buenos Aires has made a very fine picture to be presented to the Education Bureau of Uruguay with my proposal. The Deer picture you have seen here I have returned to him be- cause I deed not like it . He will now make it again. But a picture con- taining two species of our woodpeckers and anatomical details and nest is a very fine work and has been very much appreciated. If my proposal is accepted by the Bureau of Education (and I have hundred reasons to think it will be so), I will make a lot of money, some thousands dollars. Rich people, who at the same time are influent, are helping me in this matter. Next month I hope to move to my new home. I^ill send you at that time the new address and also a photograph of the "rancho "and the 600 me- ters ground I have bought. Referring to the parrots you should separate them, because if not so they will never make an attempt to speak, but will cry all the time over. One of the birds is a true savage and I think it will never speak. The other one is very tame and you can be sure that it will speak if se- parated from that savage who cries to much. The tame one, then, will no more cry. I was very pleased to know that you are just as enthusiastic about the Bolivian trip as ever. My friend Schweizer is anxious to know some- thing about that matter and he hopes that you will be now in position to approach the proper parties in connection with the expedition. With my best greetings to you and yours, I remain Sineerely , 4 ^ a-p^g^rt^^l^Si^ -^^ty^s-pv • (>^Ye.duijLiyo -^t^tyc^c^ \ /^ {Pyu4/i^pviy -<2*»^ '^■eh-^9'i't'rtjfe^ ’^Uytt^^ “2 ^ ‘^^A2e^ '^Vvt, i^ ^Jr/rl^ c^ S^^'Cn, 7^ ^ ^ t^,^tyAiiU.y- gU*^^ 44i ^ ^ yL. /&At- ZJ- uUe

These collections have been made by an European Geologist who was en- gaged in exploration and collecting work in these countries for several years and who is famous of being a specialist in fine and lucid arrangement of col- lections. The collections are composed of freshand typical specimens of a regu- lar size, very suitable for museum and scientific institutions, as well as for teaching work in Geology, Mineralogy and Mining. They are used by seve- ral professors of geology in their lectures. Each specimen of these collections is carefully classified, properly prepared and fully labelled. Besides this, each collection bears an exact and complete text containing all desirable information. In the rapid advancement now being made in the knowledge of ore deposits, those of South-Amer i ca may of f er, a spec ial interest representing a somewhat anomalous type which has not yet been studied thoroughly. These collections contain not only the principal ores with associated minerals and wallrocks, but also the igneous rocks in connection with them and a full set of rocks illustrating the general geological conditions of the deposits in question. Besides there are available smelting products and samples showing stages of working those minerals. The collection of the Sierra de Cordoba is a collection of a very high value, illustrating the phenomena of metamorphism in such a hadsome manner and with such a variety that it obtained the higest award (Grand Prize) in th‘e Universal Exposition of Turin (Italy) in 1911. In the same way the other collections too, offer a very great scientific interest, being the first sys- tematic collections made in countries where geological and mineralogical studies until now have been made only occasionally and by way of rapid ex- plorations. Enclosed you will find a list with an approximate index and summary description of these collections. The prices are very low considering the great expenses of long lasting travelling in those countries and the diffi- culties met with in bringing materials from remote localities to the railroad stations or seaports. All these collections were made originally for a great European scientific institution, but due to the impossibility of shipping them to Europe at present, the owner was obliged to offer them for sale any- where. This is an unique chance of getting a fine collection representing a many years effort. The price is payable in Uruguayan currency, without freight and pac- kage; but payment can be made by instalments at your convenience. Hoping that I will be favoured by an early reply, I remain, yours very truly.

P. R IQ PA Dear Dr. Schmitt: At last I have received a sign of life from you with the handsome collection of entomological books and separates. Accept my most sincere thanks for them. Especially Leng's Catalogue and Col. Casey’s Memoirs have afforded me one of the greatest pleasures. Through Dr. Metcalf I knew of your safe arrival in the States and that everything was all right with you and your worthy family. Also through Dr. Metcalf and letters from Dr. Wetmore I have learned that the six birds had arrived in good health and that a female had laid an egg. Pity that everything was a little expensive, but for a possible future sending we already have the necessary experience. I have already a month ago asked for my retirement from government service and the pension that goes with it. I hope to get it because I have all my friends who have political influence on my side. However it takes from two to three months here. Everything is going awry in the Institute of Fisheries, and the Government intends to close it. Mr. Bazzano has not been there for some time, and the board of trustees does not trouble itself with the undertaking, which does not bring any money or utility, but many head- aches to the government people. When you come hither, I will tell you everything verbally. I never expected to see such strange things in my life. If I can be useful to you here in any manner, you know already that I am willingly at your disposal. V\flth renewed thanks for the books and separates sent, and saying "hasta la vista" to you, I remain yours sincerely. Juan Tremoleras.

All the views obtainable are copyrii^t, and those private ones are difficult to get hold of, however the P.S.N.C. gave me one of their vessel in Cumberland Bay which is quite a good Photo. I have asked ray assistant if he could get me some prints, but his friends have all small ones, which are not suitable for your article. I naturally regret that my mission has not been successful but as you will understand it is through no fault of mtoe, am however asking some friends of mine who are going to Juan Fernandez this Christmas to take some good photos, and to let me have a few of their prints, and in case they get some which will be s\iitable for reproduccion will forward them, so as to make a basis for a further article at some future date. I sincerely thank you for all your kind wishes, which are reciprocated both by my assistant Orchard, as well as myself. Trusting you are in the best of health, and that some future date will bring us together. Mr Doniez wishes to be kindly remembered to you and also thanks you for the regards sent.

Dear Waldo: I was glad to get word from you and have done what I can about the Barbasco nuts. The material arriv- ed in fair condition although the fruit pulp was sorawhat fermented in one or two oases. Dr. Siceels of the uffioe of Foreign Seed and Plant Introduction has undoubtedly identi- fied this fruit as comiiog from one of the species of Jac- quinia. It is probably from J. Barbasco, Mez. Ho cannot be certain of the species, however, unless you can have sent some of the foliage and flowers, our old friend, Paul Bussell, also aided in getting the material identified, w q P I is ouite interested in the material ana Dr. Bfceels in the harbarlw, speolmens o£ the foliage and flowers. I should also mention thatJ-parbasco =p- seems to be identical with3^ijrmillar is, JaosL* plant belongs to the fhmily of Theophrastaceae. I have run down all of the suggested refer- ences to the literature but have not unearthed anything relative to the active chemical agent of the material. The references have been card-indexed for your information on your return. Dr. u. P. Black:, of Dr. Alsberg’s old labora- tory, Poison Plants Investi^tions, Bureau of plant industry, is going to examine the fruit, at least qualitatively, to determine whether the poison is due to saponins or someother substance. The men familiar with similar plants, includii^ Dr. F. B. Power, think; that it is likely that the poison is saponin. With best wishes for success in your field of work and a safe return, I remain "ijurs sincerely. G.p. i^alton. 97/902 SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM WASHINGTON, D. C.

Dear Dr. Schmitt:- t After due consideration of your memorandum of April 8, I fear that the proposal to establish a clearing house for information regarding scientific expeditions is not at this time one that v/e can take up. A fev/ organizations might be in- terested at the time in the proposal, but it v/ould be forgotten by most in a month or two^or would be neglected. It is often of interest to know what other jjarties plan to visit foreign countries in which you imy contemplate a journey of youi* own. It is, hov/ever, extremely difficult to meet other traverlers by appointment since itineraries are subject to sudden changes, and it is difficult to plan in advance without occasioning mach loss of valuable time. Very truly yours. ssistant Secretary. Ip Airil 8, 1926.

I shall be glad to let you knoy when it appears. Jixan Forriandez Island io a most v/onderful place. Tli© population is all white — French, German, Spanish, Italian, one Car.adian and one Mexlcsui The chief source of incoraa is the lobster fishery, which directly or in- directly en^'ageg the activitieg of most of the pupulation. There is no yellow fever on the entire west coast of South teerica, and so far as I know has never In liiotory been reccrdod from Jium Farnandea. Many fruits grov/ wild, particularly figs, and all kinds apparently can be guocessfully cirltivatod. The population ia Catholic. There is a little chapel in which services are held during one month out of the entire year. The Island is. owned by the Chilean governirant, whicii apj-oints a retired Naval officer as governor. There is no need for law or government in such a small and orderly population as this. Tliough there are several policemen their chief work is seeing that the laws protecting undersized lobsters are carried out by the fishermen. I should imagine tlrnt anyone could fro there to live permanently with properly executed ijassxsorts, and such other papers as may be req^uired by the Chilean government. This would have to be taken up with the nearest Chilean Consul. Application at the Post Office v'«uld give you this information. ®aldo_ h. Schmitt Curator of Marine Invertebrates , Crusoe^s Isle an Eden R obinson CRUSOE was more . to be envied than pitied, ac- cording to Dr. Waldo L. Schmitt, of the Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D. C. In a recent survey of Juan Fernandez Island, on which Alexander Selkirk, the reputed original of Robinson, lived over four years, he found the island one of the most fruitful spots in South America, and said: “Every imaginable plant seems to grow there.
