Bangor, April 30th, 1897. 
ne William Brewster, 
Dear: Sir: 
I send to you today for determination a few skins of the 
Horned Lark.In case they prove to be what I have labelled them I will % 
be able to contribute some new and interesting facts regarding the 
distribution of praticola within this state. Several more skins from 
other interior localities prove to be identical with these and 
specimens in local collections taken in ’84 are also referable to this 
subspecies in case I have identified the specimens correctly. am sure 
that some of the specimens in hand are of this subsvecies and have 
purposely sent to you those which seem least typical as if they are 
undoubted examples then the others I have surely are the same. 
Please return svecimens soon as convenient as they are only 
loaned me for a limited:time through the kindness of brother collectors: 
Yours, SRuLy
