Dear Bruce: 
I was a bit crowded Friday as I was trying to get things in shape for a 
Quick trip to Miami over Saturday. This did not come off as Rights 
T«Iashington were canceled tiiat evening from about 8 p.ra. on. I believe all 
SSorts up ^ur W were closed on account of the heavy weather too. 
Along the rather extended itinerary sent you, I had intended matog a 
few more remarks about the collecting planned. At overnight 
are to be set for the small animal life occurring xn the to^be 
gathered in the following morning. At luncheon stops the bushes to 
beaten" for insect life, specimens of the plants attacked or 
and am land crabs or terrestrial Crustacea that may be turned up. At the na- 
riveTi.SLs, and there are .«.y of ther. ttroughout tte .ai-.at«.a gngo, 
sn^.eimen 3 of shrimps, and fish, in part, will be secured. The photograpner , 
tLoughout, will take pictures of coUecting operations, of 
local scenery, natives, and animal life as appropriate and pra 
The itinerary sent you, so far as I have been able 
around 190 miles per day of actual travel. This can be cut from 
SS runs which would permit longer interim stops, a^, as Previously sj^ested, 
bv cutting out the Elizabethville trip we would gain about twelve days. The 
places noted as possible 
be made, as the expedition p-cgresses, in order to allow f 
favorable localities. I've added such mileages as I could get from maps at la . 
As soon as I can get a proper map, and hear from Drs. Chapin and Vercammen- 
Grandjean in the Ck>ngo, I'll write again. 
If you think you can make it down this way on December 2, won't you let ua 
know via the enclosed card which requires no postage. 
Sincerely yours.
