Dr, Alox Wetniore,

Sacramento, Oalifomia. 
Dear Wetmore: 
Under separate cover I am sending a few bones of a bird found in 
the stomach of a jaeger. The san^le is not very complete and the bird 
appears to bo immature, taiosn from the egg if I am not mistaken, I shall 
be obliged for any opinion you may be able to give on this material, which 
it is possible you could name more closely if you were in Washington. 
I am inclosing also a letter from one of our South iumerican friends, 
which I should like to have you translate for me. I think I know wliat 
the man is driving at, but it is a case where I want to know exactly, 
Ehis letter is from one of the institutions removed from the exchange 
list of the Biological Society and invited to become a subscriber. 
Your report on the birds of Stinking Lake has been copied and 
« 
turned over to Preblewith careful instructions as to its use, I talked 
over this matter with the Chief and he confirms the i 2 i 5 )ression you iswre* 
got in your conversation with him before you left Washington, with best 
regards. 
.# 
Sincerely, 
Assistant Biologist.
