Dear Mr* Swetts 
I liiS indeed lic;.ppy to leaxti that you c^in ai;:eoi:imiodata the three inveeti- 
gatore I euggeoted^ eaiid that Capteiia Haacoek iiaa authorisied their inv'itatioa# 
Dr* Mauter will he able to gO| arid I ahall touicj forward the three of them iu- 
Tltationa in behalf of Captain Hancock* thus being alu e I'O t iip^ we shall 
be making the 'best and moat efficient tiBe of the facilitiea at your disnosal 
The collecting that. Dr, Fr-aser and, I shall uncisa'teJse will run largely 
parallel, both as to shore collectl’ag snd dredging, X.n a Yejry large measure, 
tliat of Dx’, T.aylor will ba slffills.r, thougii, geiieri:il.iy Speaking, he will not. 
be so Interested in the dcepar hauls for ,;hich you iiaye provloed speciitl equip- 
jcent this yervr. The sarin e plants — the algae — in wliich he specialises are 
limited in. their vertic.ul distribution by the depths bo thieh aufflcient son- 
light foi’ their well being taay J5sie,tr5.t8, At tinies it may be' expedient, if 
coEips.tible with other pl.ans, to dredge in shallower water for algae srlth one 
of the launches by htinci, xtiiile dredging in deeper water with the otlier carrying 
the rig you have designed. On the other hand, on occasion of stops of 'noi’e 
than a rl-;£y*s duration, dredging could be accomplished by the ssjiie 3.auach on 
successive dm 3* 
i'or Dr. Man.ter*s investigations fish are tiie pi’imary x’equisite, 
can hiindle quite a nusiber each day. Fish secured, if possible, by several 
mems of collecting — by traps as last year, by hook and .line as Carl did lest 
year t&ile or after trapping, and in the course cf the sport fishing that you 
and the Captain 'Unctei’take — would offer him a wiae :r«.xage of species. The 
fish he needs for study would not have to be kept alive. He could eocs'-mine 
the larger ones at once. The satHer ones coulc, I bcliev€i, 'be hold over a 
if necessary on ice or t€sspoi*arily in o,ne of your taaks if you are caiTying 
tiieffi this year*. I do not know f/hether’ Carl will lUiVe any time to devote 'to 
)ay 
trapping and hooic and line: fish;ui,g this ye::r, 'but I do hope he say be able to 
in ortier to iacrecise the nuraber of different 
CO some of it iroia ti.trte to tiiae, 
kinds of fish that Dr, ..'ianter will have the ooportuni
