Dear Dr. Morrisons 
Yesterday I had opportunity to disouss the progress of the 
work with two men and have now here under hand the results to date. 
I have been especially interested in your report of June IS of whioh 
I h©ve a copy. Apparently it is important that you remain for the 
month of Augusts at least you should stay there for a sufficient time 
to allow you to check on the work. I have been much interested in 
what you have accomplished and feel that it has all been very much 
worthwhile. 
With this I am enclosing a check for #200.00 as further ad¬ 
vance for field expenses. Please let me know if this will be suf¬ 
ficient for your return. 1 wrote you recently regarding the necessity 
of validating your passport and sent you also an extension of your 
permission to remain outside the country. 
Dr. Kellogg has give me the following list of mammals that 
are found at the well-known locality nearby. Of these you and I have 
obtained the first and third. I note you refer to an opossum which 
would be interesting—possibly some of the others may turn up too 
although this is not very probable.
