U. S. S. ALBATROSS,
Seattle, Wash.
September 9, 1914.

Dr. Trevor Kincaid,
University of Washington, D
Seattle, Wash.

Dear Dr. Kincaid:

Will you please be so kind as to identify the invertebrates I am sending you today. They are part of our collections in connection with our survey off the coast of Oregon, and I am very desirous of including the specific names in my final report. 

Owing to our short, two hour, stay in Seattle, I am unable to consult your convenience in this matter, and have taken the liberty of sending them first and explaining afterward. 

If you cannot find the time to work over the material, please ship them to me at Sausalito, California, C/o the ALBATROSS, express collect. 

The specimens comprise: 

4 star fishes
5 seas anemones
1 scallop
Several pennatulids
Several worms taken with eggs
(Do you know what eggs these are?)

Trusting this will not be too great an imposition, 

Sincerely, 

Naturalist. 

APPROVED AND FORWARDED.

Lieutenant, U.S.N.,
Commanding.
