Research Intended
for This State

Prof. Vernon Bailey, of the biolog-
ical survey of the Smithsonian Insti-
tute at Washington, was a recent ar
rival in Carson and will remain here
for a few days making arrangements
to later continue the exploration and
exploitation of biological subjects.
The corps to which Professor
Bailey is attached is at present locat-
ed in Southern Oregon, but on the
conclusion of their researches there
will come to Nevada, sometime this
fall
Professor Bailey states that while
Nevada affords a vast field for re-
search but few specimens of animals
from this state have been secured for
the big museum at Washington, and
these are mainly of the rodent family
AS an instance he states that the
Nevada mountain sheep are different
in species from those of other sec
tons of the union and an effort will
be made to secure some of these for
mounting, also to the small antelope
which exists in this state.
