I„ar Mr McLennan 
I acknowledge your lettef of the 7th.and am 
sorry that the prives are not sufficent to warrant collecting 
We will go into the matter again and se if anything further 
wan be done in the mat ter 
Mr Ináriess (Gouger) is in Brisbane and 
expects to be in Sydney next week aná I hope to have a chat 
witn him.He has given me a very good description of the 
"striped Cat".He mentions another prospector that has seen 
four of the animals. This man is still in the Peninsular and 
Seems to live a go«d deal with the natives 
I am trying to arrange a trip to the Peninsulx 
myself after this animal about next July,after the rain.I 
think that mp by consentratigg on the animal and using aji the 
wiles of the Shikiri, it can be got and if the right habitat 
is located it will not be uncomion.My offer of twenty five pod 
pounds for skin and skeleton still holds if posted to me 
I would like to get a fair idea of the cost 
of say Six wecks in the field,working on the Alice and the 
Palmer 
` 
Mr White was here yestoday and saw his birds 
sincerly yours
