The fish commission in San Francisco is
frequently IN receipt OF ridiculous commu-
nicatlons from people of the interior who
have vague ideas of the functions Of the bu-
reau, says a local exchange. A retired
merchant from one of the hill towns, de-
s1rlng to devote his spare time to the study
OF zoology, sent the following letter of
inquiry to Prot. Charles A. Vogelsang:
Il am interested in natural history and
want to get hold of a dear for scientific
purposes. Do you know where | can buy
one? If so, get a good one and express it
in a box C. o. d., together with a permit
for keeping same. One of the common
varieties will do. l will pay all ex-
penses."
After bordering over the communication
for some time Herr Nogelsang dispatched
the following reply:
bears of all kinds are abundant in this
neck of the woods, and if you are not par
ticular as to color or breed | can easily
comply with your request. Most of them
would object. however, to being sent in a
box by express. If you will agree to assume
the cost of perpetual maintenance, | will
promise to send on a dear who will be use
full, both for scientific study and for house
keeping. | am not authorized by the laws
of the state to issue such permits as you
require, but you may get them from the
