cojour slowly 
I had a long letter from Indries s who is in 
Brisbane and have asked him to describe the striped animal as 
near as he can,owing to the action of the Queensland authorities 
in insisting ofc. their pound of flesh in the matter we cannot 
putohase any - 
Re the. snake with the diamond marks on the back 
of the head, I have rung up Mt Kinghorn at the museum and he 
states that it is as far as he can say unknown ‚I certainly have — 
never heard of it, and for thet matter Mr Grant rane has some | 
pictures of Snakes taken in Xhax dímibociek in the Gulf District 
and I canrot plgce any of them,so I gues sthat the fauna other 
than the birds is practically unknown 
A wild Pheasant Coucal has come into the park

Wishing you SuccessI am sincerly yours
