Fort Clark, Kinney Co., Texas, 
April 13, 1898. 
Dear Mr. Bean: 
I send you herewith, enclosed an outline of a fish. The 
head and fins will he sent later, in alcohol. Prof. Evermann ana 
I had a talk about the catfishes of this region. He was unable 
to name our large mud cat. I have two or three species of them 
in a tank of alcohol. I have also collected four species ox sun 
perch and some other fishes. 
Have you identified the fishes of the Mexican Boundary 
yet? 
Please give my regards to Prof. Evermann if you see him. 
We are packed up for the war and nervously waiting for 
the order to move. 
Yours truly, 
(Signed) EDGAR A. MEARHS.
