What you got off the anchor chain in the Galapagos was very 
highly regarded here. The shrimps off Tagus Cove were specimens of 
which m have received no representatives since they were originally 
described, except for one lone specimen. The sea urchins taken at 
the same time were found to be a genus that had not heretofore been 
reported from the Galapagos Islands. I do appreciate your keeping an 
eye on that anchor chain, and the worm may be scientifically a very 
valuable specimen. . . . . 
The Smithsonian is getting out some publications on the 
things that we collected on the HCUSTCW. 4s soon as they come along, 
I shall send copies to both you and Mr. Bailey. I won’t have enough 
copies available personally 4>d send every one a copy. 
id planned to leave you folks in Hew York during 
the life of the exposition. Thenfl surely would have been able to make 
it with the family. I am still hoping that there will be another 
HQtJSTOB expedition. If I have anything to say, it would take us back 
to Clipperton. ,1 would like at least another day there, preferably 
two. 
Please remember me also to 
Sincerely 
Waldo L. Schmitt, Curator, 
Division of Marine Invertebrates
