Dear Sir: 
Please accept mgr thanks for your letter of the 9th inst., 
and the full list of species collected hy Mr. Brewster and Mr. 
Dwight in Michigan in 1888. I find several very interesting records 
in this list and I an very glad to get the entire list, since it 
confirms other observations made in the vicinity and helps me to 
map the distribution of the species. 
I will send tomorrow by express the skins of the ruffed 
grouse for comparison. I am very sorry that I have not more, but 
I am never able to get away from college work during the open 
season for these birds, and have had great difficulty in getting 
specimens from others. 
Yours very truly 
Diet 
Professor of Zoology.
