MEMORANDUM

National Museum, I desire to ask permission to publish it in the Bulletin of the Museum of Comp. Zoology - 
I think the foregoing covers all there is to be said regarding this important specimen from an official point-of-view. Though I was exceedingly glad to examine it, it was sent to me without any solicitation on my part.
Yours respectfully
F.W. True
Head Curator: Biology
