February 14, 1934. Today the customs official came 

 and inspected the 19 boxes I am next to ship to Shanghai for 

 the Smithsonian Institution. Because the Smithsonian Institution 

 is sending type specimens to the West China Union University, 

 no export duty is being charged, and a passport is being is- 

 sued. Mr. Starrett, an American citizen, is taking them all 

 to Shanghai as a personal favor. 



February 23, 1934. I have recently worked up the 

 Smithsonian accounts and found that the money on hand is very 

 low. I therefore wrote to Dr. Wetmore urging that more money 

 be sent me at once. There are some fine mammal skins on the 

 way here, and I may have to refuse them or advance the money 

 out of my own pocket. Because of the shortness of money I am 

 having to let my two mammal collectors work for Smith of the 

 Field Museum this spring, hoping that next fall I can hire them 

 again. 



March 30, 1934. Recently I have bought some good 

 mammal skins at a reduced price. I am telling the hunters 

 that I can not buy any large animal skins for awhile. 



Ho is constantly getting birds and skinning them. 

 The two netters are getting a few insects. 



April 3, 1934. The skinner Ho is buying rare birds 

 in the city and skinning them. There are two netters, Yao and 

 Zen.
