NOT ES ABOUT SPECIMENS, ETC. 



Suifu, April 14, one specimen with yellow above the 

 tail, new to ray collecting, also one very small bird that was 

 poorly skinned. The other birds killed were all common. There 

 are several kinds of small birds which I mil probably not 

 send specimens of in the future, since the Smithsonian 

 Institution probably has all i t wa nts^ 



The hawk moth caught about April 12 is not over- 

 common in Szechuen. I have put it in a shoeblacking box, tin, 

 for safety. 



May 1st, I started on a trip south of Suifu. I gave 

 in charge of my coolie the box containing arsenic with in- 

 structions to send it along. He did not do so, and I did not 

 find this out for several days, until the arsenic ran out. I 

 had to purchase Chinese arsenic, which may be of inferior 

 quality, and I fear the skins caught on that trip may reach 

 the Smithsonian Institution in a damaged condition. 



Suifu, June 2nd, found the nest of an ant that I 

 had been unable to find a nest of before, with eggs, etc. Did 

 not find any winged ants, but found eggs. These ants have a 

 bad sting that one does not care to experience a second time. 

 They are black ants, and the specimens are in a small bottle.
