Dear Dr. Schmitt: 
As mentioned in my last letter, Marvin Wallace has 
written up a brief account of the Alaska king crab, 
based on his observations while aboard the ‘'Tondeleyo" 
when operated by the Pacific Fisheries and Trading Co. 
A copy of this report is attached hereto for your in- 
formation. We would appreciate your comments and sug- 
gestions . 
Our own report will include all data during our 
investigation and I believe I'arvin is willing to have 
us make use of his earlier data also. However, some 
way must be figured out so that Marvin can obtain the 
credit due him for his original studies.
