anxious to have him work with Winlock of the Metropolitan for a 
day or two in order to find out how to handle the Egyptian materi¬ 
al in the Museum, and since we are planning to overhaul all our 
material, I thought it very useful to give Old World Archeology 
this assistance. Mr. Judd indicated that he would like to have 
him go from there to work a day or two with Guernsey at Peabody 
in order to pick up some of Guernsey's ideas, especially relating 
to such things as trees, since Mr. Judd is not entirely satisfied 
with some of the recent work along this line. The trip will cost 
about $80.00, and while this looks like a rather large expenditure 
I think we are well able to take care of it. Our balance on 
Preservation of Collections on April 30 is $372.00, but savings 
during May and June will bring the total to *1,869, ana since that 
time we have had further savings which will bring it well over 
$2,000. Since we have spent a little less than $700.00 during May, 
there would be a balance of at least 71,400 for June and probably 
somewhat more than this if no attempt is made to fill Dr. Richmond's 
place. 
Specimens purchased sc far amount to $4,270 which would 
leave about f750 to be purchased during June. Thus far I am hold¬ 
ing requests for specimens as follows: 
Birds - - ---6 shillings 
Plants ---- $20.42 
One bird----18 shillings 
Isopods ---130 R.M. 
Balances on Maintenance and Operation as of May 21 were 
as follows: 
Heating and Lighting - - --$696.46 
Building Repairs - - - - 3927.00 
Furniture and Fixtures - - - 460.00

We have put through a considerable number of Building Repair 
requisitions for paint, lumber, etc., and there will undoubtedly 
be some more of them shortly after the first of June. 
I just heard that Mr. and Mrs. Mann were shaken up in an 
automobile accident last night, but from word received this morn¬ 
ing, I do not think their injuries are serious, being limited most¬ 
ly to bruises. I will keep in touch with ythem and see if we can 
do anything to help them out.
