In the course of the work outlined above you will have many opportunities for collecting insects and other animals that will be of value in our reference collections. In addition you will be able to secure seeds of various plants that are now lacking in our series. Every effort should be made to secure as much of this material as is possible as the region in question is one that is poorly represented in our collections.

Further instructions will be furnished you from time to time. 

With best regards

Very truly yours,
