Hopper, 1937 Berkeley, Alameda Co., Calif. June 1, minerologist? and hunter. He told me that he probably would give his collection of mounted heads to the Univ. of Wash- ington, since the officials there have promised to keep the collection intact. He does have a series of bear skulls which should go in M.V.Z. that be loaned to C.H. Merriam about 20 yrs. ago. They are skulls of western-taken animals. At Hollister, Calif.-visited on May 29+30, I encountered several people worthy of note. Chas. Lompa reported to be the one who had hunted the longest in the county, had 40 or 50 antlers nailed up on the tank house and barn; most were of black-tailed deer. Anthony (Tony) Matulich measured almost all of the heads sent in to 'Records of N.A. Big Game'. He accompanied me about to see several of the 'head owners'-helped considerably-is quite interested in hunting and head measurements. Tony has the largest mule deer? set of horns I have seen. The head resembles a picture I have seen of the set owned
