I would advise our Museum to take
the entire series material and have
Prof. Drickamer throw in the Hesperorius
material which is now in me drawer. If
this cannot be done the three genera
should be represented by that $2,500. In this
case Prof. Drickamer would desire to first
compile a list of the material he will
have so that we can see what we will
get for the money.
Of the peccary Platysgonus leptor-
hinus he can let us have a nearly com-
plete skeleton.
The Hesperorius material or exhibition
is entirely worth for the preservation of
parts of the feathers. The duplicate material
consists of vertebrae and other thoracic parts.
That set is much broken but patient
work will bring much of it together. In
any event it is worth having.
