 were in Urga and aided us in innumerable ways. 



Mr. and Mrs. Oscar Mamen often entertained us in their 

 home. Mr. and Mrs. E. L. MacCallie, who accompanied us on 

 one trip across Mongolia and later resided temporarily in 

 Urga, brought equipment for us across Mongolia and enter- 

 tained us while we were preparing to return to Peking. 



Monsieur A. Orlow, Russian Diplomatic Agent in Urga, 

 obtained permits from the Mongolian Government for our work 

 in the Urga region and gave us much valuable advice. 



In south China, Reverend H. Castle of Tunglu, and Rev- 

 erend Lacy Moffet planned a delightful hunting trip for us 

 in Che-kiang Province. 



In Shanghai the Hon. E. S. Cunningham, American Con- 

 sul-General, materially aided the expedition in the shipment of 

 specimens. To Mr. G. M. Jackson, General Passenger Agent 

 of the Canadian Pacific Ocean Services, thanks are due for 

 arranging for rapid transportation to America of our valu- 

 able collections.
