I am sending you this second letter as a reminder of the 
October letter and also of our phone conversation November 24th. 
At the suggestion of Dr. Fehlman and Mrs. Peterson of the 
Oceanographic Sorting Center we are writing you to ask for 
a representative selection of invertebrates obtained from the 
deeper shelf area of the Antarctic sea. We will get a coelen- 
terate and two echinoderms from New Zealand but we feel we 
should have a better display for the exhibit on Antarctic Sea 
to show the great diversity and abundance of invertebrate life 
in that area. 
Perhaps you might suggest an area of the shelf directly around 
the continent since we are not familiar with temperatures and 
depths where the greater varieties of life occur. 
I look forward to hearing from you. 
Sincerely yours 
MJlAM?
