. . We have a latter from the Under Secretary for | 
Agriculture refusing us pemission to take any animal or reptile | 
that may be rare or new to science out of the State without first | 
depositing axsxxxxxx&RkpExi Specimens,presunedely two in the museum 
in spite of the fact that we agree to return them to the museum 
afetr being exhibited here and under the circumstances we will have 
to ask you to cancel at 'empts to get the live striped oat,nandicoct 
and green python.ofoourse if the latter arg common a specimen may 
be specially Zor for the museum and then I suppose s;me live ones 
could come out,but as it is very unlikely that more than one woulde 
be seen and procured this really cuts the animals mentioned out, ore 
cannot in any Case handle and transport these things away out back 
We can still take the birds though I do not súppose that it will te 
worth a mans while to go out for so few things 
Very glad to see your accoun& cin the last emu,it is 
exc ding ly interesting f | 
Sincerly yours =|
