I suppose you have seen a copy of Mr. Mershon’s book 
on the passenger pigeon, .just issued by the Outing Company. I 
am quite skeptical about some of the reports of living passenger 
pigeons seen in Michigan since 1900, but I am loth nevertheless to 
admit that the species is extinct. 
Again thanking you for your kindness in examining these 
specimens, as well as for your list of birds collected at Cadillac 
and Oden, I am, 
Yours very truly, 
Dictated. 
Professor of Zoology.
