Information has been provided or facilities made 
available from a number of other institutions. We 
especially thank A. F. Stimson, British Museum (Natural 
History), London, and George Zug, National Museum of Natural 
History, Washington. 
None of this work could have been accomplished without 
the financial support of the Smithsonian Institution in 
Washington. Through the kind efforts of Miss Francine 
Berkowitz and her associates the Smithsonian has made monies 
available through its Special Foreign Currency Program. 
Miss Berkowitz, Mrs. Saundra Thomas of the Office of Service 
and Protocol, and Ms. Carol Ailes of the Smithsonian's 
Travel Office, together with their associates have paved the 
way for our studies and we deeply appreciate their effort 
in our behalf. ; 
The Department of Biology, the Sponsored Programs 
Department, and the office of the Dean of Arts and Science 
have been very supportive of our work. We thank them, and 
especially Dr. Walter Scott, Chairman of the Department of 
Biology, Dr. Irving Brick, Acting Chairman, Lisa Tate of 
Sponsored Programs, and Deans Turner and Rice for their aid.
