Your notes on birds taken are very interesting, nmri your 
reference to a marsh flycatcher as a "Siete Color" reminds me of 
the ornate little Mexican finch which has received the same name 
except that it is in the plural, as I am inclined to think yours 
should be (Siete Colores). 
What position will Von Ihering of Brazil take at the National 
Museum at Buenos Aires?

A Mr. D. S. Bullock of the Bureau of Markets will leave here 
next month, according to present plans, to establish an office in 
Buenos Aires, which will be used as a base for work under that Bureau 
in various parts of southern South America. Mr. Bullock spent ten 
years in agricultural work among the Araucanian Indians in Chile under 
the auspices of the Church of England, returning to the United States 
about eight years ago. He knows the Spanish language thoroughly,and 
seems to be a good ornithologist, having made considerable collections, 
and being familiar with many of the birds of that general region. Much 
of his time will be devoted to travel and he has been supplied with a 
long list of suggestions concerning work in which we are interested. 
I hope it can be arranged so that you will be able to meet him before 
you return, as you would doubtless be able to suggest some especially 
interesting and important things that he might be able to do in those 
countries. 
With best wishes, and the compliments of the season, I am. 
Sincerely yours. 
In Charge, 
Biological Investigations.
