ADDRESS REPLY TO 
CHIEF, BUREAU OF BIOLOGICAL SURVEY, 
AND REFER TO 
3 August.5, 1922. 
Sullys Hill 
Animals - Elk 
Attached is a copy of a letter written by Doctor 
He Is on to the Secretary of the u-ame and Pish Board of llorth 
Dakota relative to the use of 12 ellc in the Sullys Hill national 
Park which the Biological Survey desires to dispose of, and would 
like to see used for planting purposes in parks or gane areas 
some where in that region. Owing to an error in the address, the 
delivery of the letter was delayed. 
While at Devils Lake, I met a Mr. Dickinson, one of the 
game commissioners from the western part of the State. He evinced 
considerable interest in the possibility of securing elk for plant 
ing purposes from Sullys Hill, aid said that it had been Mr. Judd 1 
plan to secure, if possible, two or more elk for a reservation in 
the turtle Mountains. I understand that this reservation is main¬ 
tained in connection with the fish hatchery. The Biological 
Survey has the animals to dispose of and would like to see them 
used for planting purposes. 
If you should have an opportunity in meeting any of the 
state game officials, the chances are you may be able to discuss 
this subject with them. If such an opportunity should occur I 
shall be glad to have you give the authorities the information and 
let us know what you find out.
