Dear Dr. Wetmore: 
Since it is the policy of this Musuem 
to maintain its ornithology study collections at a minimum 
of ten skins of each Hawaiian species, I find that we need, 
skins of birds likely to be secured on the proposed expeait 
tion of 1923 as follows: 
Aestre1ata hyooleuca 
rr 
o 
Diomedea immutabills 
2 
" nigripes 
Oceanodroma tristrami 
10 
Phaeton rubricauda 
4 
Procelsterna saxatilis 
10 
Puffinus nativitatis 
7 
Cterna lunata 
ZO 7 
Sula cyanops 
ri 
Cula piscator 
3 
If a sufficient number of skins are 
secured so that you can spare these, we shall be very happy 
to receive them. 
Very truly yours. 
Curator of Collections.
