Dear Dr. Wetmore: 
The bids for the Mammal Gallery have been 
opened, and I have just received a note from Mr. Gold¬ 
smith indicating that all of the work planned comes well 
within the appropriation. The lowest bid for the work, 
including the large gallery in the two ranges, and three 
galleries in the adjoining rooms, two in the Division of 
Mammals, and one in the Biological Survey, is slightly 
less than $18,000.00. 
Yours veiy truly,
