De? r Maj or G ampbell: 
lours of May 31 has been most welcome and I have been 
happy to have this word of you. The ten copies of the bird report 
came duly to hand and are much appreciated. Your index is an ex¬ 
cellent ancSition and I appreciate the trouble that you have taken in 
preparing it* The work at Jaque was certainly interesting. Perrygo 
and I had a busy month there during which we collected some 639 
birds oi 170 different kinds. One was a species of honeycreeper that 
had not bean seen since it was first described in 187 ?. I have two 
or three that 1 aia quite sure are new to science. 
I brought the bulk of the specimens across to Florida by 
air. The collecting equipment and the r®3t of the collection were" 
shipped by ocean freight and teiwonly arrived this week. We worked 
near the coast as our time was limited and we did not want to use too 
much of it in travel. Actually w© penetrated about five miles Inland 
and from that point east longing eyes at the interior mountains. I 
nave a somewhat mid©finite plan to get back down there again next year 
and go into the interior. During ray month at Jaque I made acquaintance 
among the Indians and was told that we would be welcome in their 
villages. 
When you come through Washington please be sure to let me 
know. 
Sincerely yours. 
A. Wetmore, 
Secretary.
