Yesterday I opened all the boxes of skins and bones and with shelltox killed all the insects, and put more arsenic on the skins. 

We tried to stop up all the cracks.

June 27, 1934. Yesterday the mammal collector arrived with: 

2 wild oxen
1 Baby wild ass
4 white pandas
2 Racoons or badgers
1 Leopard
1 Mt. goat
1 pheasant
1 baby bear
1 Bab. badger

I bought the entire lot for $117.00.

The insects are terrible and it will be exceedingly hard to save these. One white panda has a whole skeleton. One wild ass also has. The rest have heads and feet. 

I have called carpenters and am making boxes for them.
