My dear Br. True: 
In reply to your letter of October 16th I would 
say that Prof. Holmes' collection was removed from the Charleston 
Museum at the time when Prof. Holmes terminated his connection with 
the institution. A part of the collection is now in the American 
Museum of Natural History in New York and I understand that more 
of it is in Philadlphia. At any rate we have "been unable to 
identify any specimens as being those figured in his Pleiocene and 
Post -Pleiocene. If I later come across any teeth of this 
character I shall bear you in mind. 
I am still accumulating Xiphioid whale heads and now 
have seven as well as three or four more which I have located in 
town but net yet acquired for the Museum. Sometime I think it will 
be of interest to you to examine this collection. 
Alio?/ me to take this opportunity of thanking you for 
your paper on Fossil Cetaceans from Santa Cruz which I recently 
received and read with interest. ;;. I 
With kindest regards, I am, 
Very since!
