BUREAU OF BIOLOGICAL SURVEY 
WASHINGTON, D. C. 
Box 626 
San Juan, Porto Rico. 
Dear Wetmore: 
Application has been made to the Geological 
Survey for the maps you need, and they will be for- 
warded as soon as received by this office. 
Doctor Palmer says that the islands you 
mention off the west coast of Porto Rico are not bird 
reservations and hence you will need no additional 
permit to do work on them. These islands would prob 
ably have been made reservations before this if wo 
had evidence that numbers of birds breed on them. 
Por this reason data secured by you regarding the 
bird population of these islands will be very valu- 
able. 
With best regards, 
Sincerely yours.

/Acting in Charge, Economic Investigations.
