Dr. Hartlaub of Bremen insists
that G. hoyanus is the Young
of G. americanus, the white
crane.

If you ever come across
a specimen of the white crane
I would like it if sparable. We
have none in the collection.

Very truly Yours

P.S. Cant you send me
some ^living striped gophers? I would
like them very much. The
gray gopher you sent last year
is in excellent condition, and
I would like to increase the
spermophilian menagerie. Some
living Fox and black squirrels
would also be highly acceptable.
