My Dear Sir--

I have this day written to Prof. Henry to inform him that the publishing committee of the Am. Ant. Soc. have been authorized to make arrangements with him for the publication of your memoir in the "Smithsonian Contributions to Knowledge."

This determination will I trust prove satisfactory to you. It certainly can be no disadvantage to your work to appear under the joint auspices of the two Institutions.***

Wishing you every success and much enjoyment in your labors. I remain, dear Sir,

Very truly yours,

Saml F. Haven.

Chairman of Pub. Committee Am. Ant. Soc.
