Dear Georgs,

Just a note to say that we received the air shipment of 41 skins of
yeilieritas and all arrived in perfect condition—-thanks to your efficient
and gareful packing. I had presumed that they had been misplaced by
eustoma somewhere along the way.

All of the Guatemalan specimes are now catalogued and arranged in
the collection. I am anxiously waiting the teburn of the skulls from the
dermestid house so that I cen critically examine some of the material.

I am sure that there will be a new ibarraensis or two from your interest-

 

ing country.

When do you go to Yashington D. 0. and will you take the family
with you. Let me know as soon a8 you arrives

Most of the fellows here at the musewn and Prof, Hall are orgeniz-
ing to go to Oalifornia for the annual meeting of the Society of Mammalogists.
One group will continue down to Mexica after the meetin:s to eollect
mammals end birds for the remainder of the summer. A Ur. Rey Alcorn,
who is a professional collector for our museum will be collecting in
Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua this summer.
