I do hope you will be able to secure or have secured 
enough money to keep at least one boat in each area and have Wallace 
work under McMillin’s guidance in Seattle on a report on the biology 
of the king orab. 
Unless your funds were continued, the boats are on their 
way back at this time. I wish that they might have gotten in a few- 
more hauls in Canoe Bay. Even though a tagged orab was found, I am 
disappointed that a number of them did not turn up in those Canoe 
Bay hauls. 
If any remarks in this letter differ from those made in 
the one of June 3rd, follow this one, I hope there is enough here to 
give you some help. Barring the increased use of tangle nets, the 
program that you have been pursuing should be continued. 
Was there any attempt to mark those 3,000 crabs made in 
the one haul? If so, how was it done? 
For your sake, I hope Armina is back again. Tell her I 
know she had a grand time in California, One always doos down 
there, almost as good as in Seattle! 
Best ever to you all. 
Sincerely, 
Waldo L« Schmitt, Curator,
