But why isn’t this "better? It is shorter, takes less space, and we 
cannot see any particular reason for adding C* and C 2 « Here’s our idea: 
B^* Posterior half of carapace with only three spines# . . . . . Iliacantha . 
B^. Posterior half of carapace with ___ spines.# Leucosia . 
B- . Posterior half of carapace with seven spines...... Callidactylus. 
Wouldn’t that "be all right? Why put the first two in one category 
and the third in a second? Why not each one in a category by itself? 
I thiik I shall have to read the proof myself when we get it 
all arranged, just to see that we kept it consistent and to see what 
else I can catch. This morning, without even trying, my eye happened 
to light on H Tferra de Page o'* which had escaped the eagle eyes of all 
of you. 
The books, ,f How Crazy are You" came, one yesterday and one 
today. I forgot to pay you for mine. I’ll try to remember until you 
come back. I don’t think, now that I’ve seen them, that they are worth 
the price! 
What became of the Kemp letter? I can’t find it anywhere. I 
was going to send a copy to Graham. Did you send it to him by any 
chance? I can pretty well tell him what was in it. 
What about the letter to Miss Cordon that I was to write 
(or not, as the case may be) when we hes,r from Gravier? I don’t see 
it around anywhere, either. 
Today Mr. Bryant brought down the Saocxxdrawingnx Sars drawings 
and notes. They were addressed to the Smithsonian 
(there’s something wrong with this typewriter!) Institution, had been 
sent to the editor’s office, and have lain around there for no one knows 
how long. All stamps and postmarks have been cut off. I shall write 
to Lj6yning right awayjf and shall send the notes on to Wilson. 
We have had two nice, sunny days, but I guess it will rain 
tomorrow. 
A letter came from Fred yesterday. He said unless you are 
back by the first of May he probably won’t see you. He would like to 
start back west as early as possible in May, end thinks he had better 
come here in April. 
Sincerely,
