Dear Mr. McLennan, 
Regarding our interview on Friday in relation to securing 
birds and animals from Cape York, I have interview8d my Chairman 
on the matter and he has agreed that not more than £150 be expended, 
of which £50 was to be available for birds. The animals that we are 
very anxious to secure are the Marsupial Carnivore, ge new poisonous 
smakef and the Green Python; also the arboreal bandicoot, or whatever 
this creature may be. z 
1 
(i draw your attention to the possibilities of the Queensland 
Government,under their new Law in relation to the trapping and col- 
26360 
lecting or birds and animals, may claim any new type or species, In. 
this connection we are getting in touch with the Government of 
Queensland, and have requested that they might waive their claim in 
this respect, provided that the birds and animals in question be re- 
tained at Taronga Park and not sold or exchanged without their per- 
mission. | 
Attached pleasefind copy of the prices we are prepared to
