“5BOS\S-165

in perfect condition.

My trip to New Orleans by shin was uneventful exeent that without my bags
I had no cloths or personal effeets, however several people on the boat came
to my Pegcue and aupplied me with extra elothing for the trip.

. 2 have just completed cataloging the collection of mammals which we
trapped in Guatemala. Until the skulls are cleaned by the dermestid beetles
and made avaliable for critical examination I can only approximate the number
of different kins represented. At this stage I can report to you that we
have well over 75 different kinds and that there are several forms which will
have to be named a3 newe Several of the bats have never been recorded north
of Panama and many other of the mammale are extensions of range of the srecies.
The birds are still being processed and will send a list of the kins collected
at a later date.

Give my regards to all my good friends in Guatemala, especially to your
assistants at the Museum. My wife asks to be remembered to you, your wife and
family. I imagine that Jorge Jr. is now talking and that Ylaudia is probably
crawling all over the place.

“incerely,
