Bear Hr. Oates: 
In ay letter of the other day I intended to enclose 3® cents 
in stamps to coyer the express charges on that snake. Bo not hesitate 
to accept them, as it is a strictly official matter. I have Collected 
these stamps from the Museum authorities. It was an oversight that they 
were not included in my other letter. 
Thanks again for the time, trouble, and the snake. 
Sincerely, 
WLS.-LMC 
Waldo L. Schaltt, Curator, 
Bivislon of Marine Invertebrates.
