By the way, the fishes shown in the strip I am sending you are as 
follows* The vertically black barred ones are "sergeant majors," Abudefduf, 
first fish bit, swiaaaing over some coral heads and close to the surface. One 
can almost see the ceiling as you would call it, the under side of tiie surface. 
The second and longer fish scene is chiefly young parrot fish, the large 
checkered spotted fellows; the large grey ones passing over from right to left 
are grey snappers, Lutianus . A sergeant major or two also show in this picture. 
The last bit shows some young grunts, liaeaulon. above sevei'al large black 
long-spined sea urchins, Djadema . The background and surroundings are mostly 
huge coral heads. 
The negative of the Baroness group of three which you wished to 
borrow is enclosed, as well as four copies each of the little account I put 
into the much abridged Ixplorations Pamphlet issued by the Staithsonian this

dredging you have made it possible for us to do in the Galapagos and along the 
coast, I do hope that one of these days you may make that island the objective 
of one of yoiir cruises, stopping at San Felix and San Aabrosio on the way, and 
perhaps also at Easter Island much farther out in the Pacific, I cannot urge 
thismn you when there is still so much to be done in the Galapagos area, Soae 
other year you may be moved to go there yourself. lou know, our siasaal people 
feel certain that the Galapagos fUr seal is of the same species as the one found 
at Juan Fernandez, but it takes specimens to prove or dispi'ove their belief. 
That is Just one of many things of interest that should be foxand tixere. 
Besides, you and Emory could film a Bobinson Crusoe picture on the original 
groxiad if you felt so inclined, 
I do not know if you folks ever discovered a fresh water spring on 
shore Just around the south point or headland of Tagus Gove, but Mr. &iodgrass,
