MEMORANDUM 
General Bullene informs me today in discussion of our •work in 
connection with his service that there is no reason now why the col¬ 
lections that we made at various points should not be handled in the 
same manner as any others that come to the U. S. National Museum. 
The material, therefore, may now be distributed as it is received 
to the various divisions concerned for cataloguing and for study with 
the complete data as to date and place of collection. Publication 
of results of the scientific study of this material may go forward in the 
regular manner at the desire and convenience of the curators and others 
concerned. 
In the course of our work opportunity offered to visit San Jose, 
Pedro Gonzalez and one or two other outlying islands in the Pearl Island 
group that were little known to science. We took advantage of this to 
make as complete collections as possible for the value that these would 
have to science*
