Dear Dr. Humphrey:

- I have acted upon your suggestion by enrolling in a 
course in Statistical Methods at George Washington University 
The course work will provide me with information which is 
directly applicable to my work concerning the analysis of 
data on seabird distribution, Specifically, a statistical i 
analysis of the data is necessary to demonstrate correlations 
between seabird distribution and environmental conditions, 
and to show whether apparent changes in population densities 
in time or in position are real or are due to inadequate 
sample size. My background in statistics is inadequate to 
deal with the problems of such a statistical analysis.

The fee for the course is #171. I would like to 
request a reimbursement for the cost of the course from 
Smithsonian funds.
