freights, to go in as part
of the $50.00. This amoun-
ting to 10.00 + 3.50 ^{= 13.50}. We
will send you next month.
I expect also to refund what
you paid for Marmot, Mink,
Squirrels &.. So be at ease
on that score.

What do you want
me to send Dr. Holbrook?
and how many specimens.
Let me know what species
you have already sent, as
I dont want to duplicate.
I must of course send you
the fullest series I can make
up, for yourself. By the way
do you want back any speci-
mens of the Regina grahamii,
& kirtlandii, or have you enough some.

Did I tell you that the
fossil bone was a dorsal
vertebra of an ox, perhaps
a fossil species, else, a
buffalo: the fossil oxen
as well as the buffalo are
characterized by the very
long spinous process of the back.
