Dear Dr* Schmitt i 
Your letters of February 18 and 19 have been received# 
The material you have gotten together should certainly be 
helpful to the biologists and is being turned over to them# 
Will you please notify Mr# Bailey that we shall not need 
the German silver tags, since we have ordered some 3,000 
serial ly-numbered , celluloid tags here in Seattle# Also, we 
propose to use a fish lino wire similar to that taken along 
on the first expedition, 
I certainly hope Mr* Bailey is successful in getting an 
order placed for the calipers so that they will reach us by
