me for identification,and as soon as I obtain the 
particulars from him I will write you.I asked him to 
send written statements from every person wh® saw the 
bird in the flesh @n his possession,and in fact to give 
every possible item of information regarding it, s 
While. he does not actually say in his lette 
which he sent with the specimens that all the birds = 
sent to be identified were taken in, New Vineyard,he dog 
say“I send you some skins of my making for identificati
