Your letter of October 30 to Maryanna 
Since Maryanna is on leave this week, I will attempt to answer 
* i' 
your questions. 
The five research, outlines you submitted, were exceedingly interesting. 
The^y cover exactly the hi net of detailed, inf* ormat ion we so desperately 
need. However before approving them as written perhaps it voule be well 
to "seminar" them with Dr. Humphrey and myself upon your return next 
month. 
The only problem that 1 see at the moment concerns bringing rats 
back with you * this is definitely out for the present. For one thing, 
DTC has recalled all our permits and there is no indication when these 
will be returned. Even if we had these I doubt if we could secure 
clearance for the importation of these animals. 
Have you considered setting up the study in such a way that it 
could be continued there by a colleague during times it is necessary for 
you to be away? Off hand this sort of arrangement might be explored. 
Any arrangements you can make to have vertical aerial photos to a 
xUiown scale made ox any of the leeward Islands will make you golden. 
Undoubtedly Maryanna can make the necessary arrangements to have 
you take the test for driving Government vehicles.
