Dear Rogers' - 
I guess this Japanese trouble has put all plans that we 
may have had for scientific work in the Pacific very much in the back- 
ground, but, nevertheless, 1 as completing ay files on the project on 
which I was engaged. 
In connection with it, I ’mat to know more about sharp 
freezers. Gan you give a® some information, if only the firm nan® 
and address, for that freezer that you had in the outbuilding 
laboratory where we stored those frozen crabs t Have you any idea 
what that rig cost! 
We have gotten quite a number of the collections moved out 
for working up. Mrs. Henry, at the University, has the barnacles* 
I do not know how busy you keep Pat, but it would be helpful to her 
and to all of us. In fact, if perhaps he could assist her with the 
label writing and sorting if she finds something of that sort neces- 
sary. I suggested to her that she confer with Pat if any of the 
locality data proved unsatisfactory. 
Art very kindly supplied m© with the information we asked for 
about his collecting stations* 
The annelid worsts were a handsome lot from the point of 
view of one who studios things like that. They have all gone on to 
Dr. Hartman, at the University of Southern California, and she promises 
us a report in return for a set of duplicates. 
If you folks distribute any raateral for report, please bear 
in mind that the types, by virtue of the fact that it is government 
material, should be deposited in the National Museum, as well as a 
first set of all material. Usually, in return for the labors involved 
in reporting on a collection, the author is entitled to the second set
