Dr, G. Engelmann 
Would you be interested if I would mail to you the 
exact dekzermukxnakıiumw identification od all of your fisches ? 
The listinz of the snakes by Baird and Girard is too lousy. 
Imagine: There are no american snakes, which in any way fit 
into the europaean genera ! And yet there are species, which 
are hardiy different in specific aspects. IX When you collect 
for me this summer, .don’t forget to use stronser wine-spirits, 
so that nothing gets lost. A few dollars more or less, let 
it be. Good bye «5 Preserve collection well or it is 
rui ned.
