President Henry Fairfield Osborn and Mr. ^Tadison Grant spent 

 the early part of September with Mr. Brown in Alberta. The following is 

 an extract from President Osborn's latest letter: 



.... Brown and Mr. Grant met me at Red Deer on Monday last, August 

 28, and we started almost immediately down the river in a small craft loaded to 

 the gunwales. The current, three to five miles an hour, gave us, with Brown 

 sculling and steering at the rear, a three and one-third average speed and we 

 passed all the rapids safely, camping four nights on the shore, prospecting and 

 visiting all important sites and quarries. . . . Brown has discovered the only 

 method of working these rich and virgin formations and it looks as thougli there 

 wouki be one or perhaps two seasons more. . . .The region about here is very 

 rich. Kaison has taken up another Trachodon and parts of two others await 

 removal. Yesterday we secured a fragmentary Albertosaurus skull. All arc well 

 and in fine spirits. We start for the remaining 125 miles to-morrow morning .... 



Dr. Frederic A. Lucas was appointed Director of the Museinn by
