Dear Jim: 
The herps you and Storrs collected in Cuba have been 
catalogued as USNM 220597-736; a printout is enclosed for 
your enlightenment. Greg Pregin verified most of the ID's 
but I did the eleuth & sphaero. We naturally appreciate 
your continuing contributions. 
One puzzlement was the inclusion of two small, dessicated 
salamanders with the Cuban material. These had UC/MVZ tags on 
them (173296-97) and I'm confident that they weren't meant to 
be included. You were gadding around Europe when I called to 
find out what was awry but let me know what to do with the 
poor wrinkled little darlings. 
Hope you had a good trip.
