Lexington, Virginia* 
Dear Dr* Murray* 
Your« of January 28 is duly at hand, and I have 
written McDaniel regarding the opening of the road to the 
Mg bald on lit. Rogers. I think it will pay us to arrange 
to stay over there if we can as we can get so much more in¬ 
formation by being directly on the ground. There are always 
interesting things happening in early morning and late evening, 
that are missed when staying at a distance. 
With regard to the teal I note that Forbush says that 
the white bar before the wing is sometimes wanting" in the 
green-winged teal. However, I have never seen such a specimen. 
I have always considered the lack of this bar as a field 
character distinguishing male European teal* 
Sincerely yours, 
A. WETMORE 
Assistant Secretary.
