Dear Dr. Morrison: 
Yesterday I was fortunate in having further discussion 
of the work and to learn more fully of some of the results. I am much 
pleased at what you have been able to do. 
With this information at hand it seems advisable to write 
you a little more fully with regard to your stay. If the present schedule 
is followed I would assume that you would have everything complete so far 
as was necessary not later than the first of September. It will be de¬ 
sirable to follow everything possible as you have in the past so that we may 
have a full record. 
In looking over the two boobies I would suggest that with 
larger birds of this size that you open the tip of the wing beyond the ulna and 
the radius so as to get arsenic into the metacarpal area. In large birds there 
is muscle here that sometimes has to be removed. 
We are now in mid summer with the grass on the Mall rather 
yellow and the Japanese beetles showing up in some force. So far they have 
not seemed so bad her# around the Museum as last year though I hear heavy 
complaint of them from various people. 
With xny kindest regards, I am 
Sincerely yours. 
A* Wetmore, 
Acting Secretary.
