My dear Walter:

I am glade to hear that you have obtained further and more satisfactory evidence on the Ralston. The additions to its fauna will certainly be highly interesting, and may give a clue to its present rather mysterious composition. Limnocyon in a sub-Wasatch formation, we have to admit, but I should like to knowm what the "Bathyopsis" really is. Does the fauna still lack Artiodactyls and Rodents as well as Perissodactyls?

Your boxes arrived today, and Christmas is at work unpacking them, with instructions that one contains materials for Dr. Wissler, not to be unpacked.

The deposit of $200 to your credit was made a few days ago.

You will, no doubt, have in mind when collecting, the importance of Coryphodon vertebrae and ribs for making a composite mount for exchange.

Sincerely yours,

W. D. Matthew

Curator.

Mr. Walter Granger,
