A. Wetmore, Ass't Secretary 
Smithsonian Institution 
Washington, D. C. 
Dear Mr. Wetmore: 
Reference is made to your letter of September 21. 
The Hew Mexico game laws provide that anyone securing a collector's per¬ 
mit in this state must hold the proper hunting license; therefore if you 
desire to collect any game birds or game animals it will be necessary 
for you to have a non-resident bird license or a non-resident big game 
license, as the case may be; however, it is entirely, possible that 
you do not wish to collect any game birds or game animals, in which 
case we could issue you a scientific collector's -permit without the neces- 
sity of having such license. I am inclosing herewith an application blank 
for your use and upon receipt of same it will be possible for me to deter¬ 
mine whether or not the licenses will be required as outlined above. 
I regret very much that there is no authority in law for me to waive 
this license requirement for an Institution such as the Smithsonian , 
but under the Statutes I can not do it. 
Very truly yours 
esb-p 
State Game Warden
