once called to send up his collection and to give his collection at his death to the Victoria Museum. I did not foreman the idea. March 2-98 St Louis, Mo. Had an early breakfast and got my tickets for Kansas City. Then walked around the city - visiting the Druthers and Platner Hotel and the river front. At 10.45 went to meet Hamback, In the Museum of the Washington University - there is a fine slab of Melmiles multiporus about 2'6" x 4" with like 6 or 8 species on it. They show up nice and a number show the dorsal plates. Hamback said the Univ. paid about $500 for it but that it is worth about $100, If we could get it for $70 I think we would do well to purchase.
