As I did not have time before shoving to mail the "effort** of the 
past two days I take this opportunity to apologize for the marginal 
ending. It was trying to keep within a limit of 8 pp. that brought it 
about. Without a postal scale in the guest house or aipong my belongings 
I had on my last trip to the P. 0. MUM weighed a varying 
number of sheets and envelopes to know what postage to put on what, 
and so when the 8 pp. limit (my heaviest sample weighing) was reached 
I tried to finish on the last page. Pardon the result. This isn't 
much better. Also I'd forgotten that earlier in the letter I had 
premised some postals. I shall have to get the letter and enclosures 
M weighed anyway and so the mailing will be still further delayed till 
Monday till I get back to Stanleyville. I'm sorry. 
Enclosed also is the first sheet of the little local small town 
newspaper carrying a notice of the expedition. It is a French version 
of the little release that was prepared for Science, reworked by the 
American Consul in Leopoldville. It still bothers me that you folks 
are not prominently mentioned in it. I understood you to say over the 
phone at goodbye time that we should not play up your nam.e to leqve 
it out for the present and soft-pedal your participation until our 
return, when we can talk over the form that the publicity should take. 
I want to see credit given where it is so due. I hope I've done as 
you wished, but if not we can aujiply make amends when we do publish upon 
our results, I think of you folks often, and what you've made possible 
for the rest of us. 
Yangambi nearer 120 than 150 miles down stream from Stanleyville, 
is a very complete agriculturell experiment station. They have everything 
for testing, growing, crossbreeding, and improving native stock, and
