compile from Aud. Bach.
Issue a card in Prairie farmer
asking information on your own
animals. Never mind naming
species of other localities in lists.
The article had better not exceed
30 pages; if unavoidably longer, they
may yet accomodate it. I suppose
if done by March 1s', it will be time
enough.
Whenever you have facts on
the animals of the east or south
not in Aud. Bach. - give them
by all means. Do not duplicate
their accounts except in corroboration
or your own personal observations.
I will put in all the
Scientifc - Names - so dont trouble
yourself about that
Very likely Mus michiganenses
eats insects
The long tailed jumping mouse
is what you mean by Gerbillus
canadensis more properly
Jaculus labradorius
