Jim received this letter the same oblj he returned so did not answer 
Plea s e send Jan the _catalog u e- data for th ose specimens in quest ion. 
’he spe’cimens may be here now so don't worry about that part of his 
inquiry. As soon as we get caught up from SIC9 we'll inventory the 
birds in the freezers and I'll then send Jan that information. 
Thanks.

Hope you can read my scrawl. As you can see, most of the information 
here is by way of saying we know very little more than you do. The 
catalogue for 25002 and 25 OO 6 is a complete blank, I have w ritten 
down the complete catalogue entiy for the Red-foot - 25362. All I can say 
about the list of specimens is that they are not here on Sand, and were 
sent on to Chuck long ago. They probably remain there at his house. 
Hope this great lack of information at least lets you know something, 
if only the state of the early catalogue here.
