Accounting - Bredirj Fund

^ you W accounting for the Bredin African Exoedition 
Fund in so far as it concere^ the |30CX) cas^i advanced me for trip expenses 
various small items purchased in connection mth film editing. 
slideboxes, color film mounts, etc,, I have personally paid out 152.85 more 
than was origixiall}^ advanced me* 
X ’ expenses have gone unrecorded, i.e. Sfe^itian exchanges losses, 
I con t Know now, and tips in various places and at various times, though 
I tr*ed to get them all in. Ttje amounts in any case are small and can be 
considered negligable. 
The matter of putting together the usable moving picture film of the 
expedition is taking me longer than anticipated, A great deal of cutting 
and editing was called for but most of this has been done. The permanent 
3p_icing and a copy for h?r. Bredin is yet to be accomplished. This will 
entan a further charge against the Fund, as will also the overhaul and 
repair of the portable field tape-recorder. 
Also a few introcuctory ^shots'* should be made for the film of route 
map, and of the Ward collection in order to better tie in the Institution. 
We have all long admired Herbert Ward»5 sculptures before this African 
opportunity was vouchsafed the Institution by Mr. and Kra. Bxuc® ^Jredin. 
Ckjly a part of the material collected has so far been worked up. You 
mp' be interested in Dr. Chacel? comments herewith, regarding the Crustacea 
which he very kindly and very promptly identified. Also collected were 
some 500 fishes, 63 mammals, several thousand plant mites, and a few 
miscellaneotis insects* 
Attached slso^ is s ststeiaent supplied by Jcimson re£ 5 urdii 3 £ the 
present status of the Fund as a whole.
