Mr. G. Brown Goode
Assistant Secretary in charge National Museum 

Sir:

I desire to submit herewith an appendix to my report for October, 1890, to add thereto the information that Mr. V. R. Wood mounted for the Department of Birds 13 skins. These were given him at his request, to keep him employed during time when he had no other work to do. This item was accidently overlooked when the report was written.

Respectfully yours,
R. Ridgway
Curator, Department of Birds.
