Paleontologist,

New Haven, Conn.,

Dear Sir;

This office has recently received from Mr. Geo. F. Becker, three cases of fossils among which were found the remains of some vertebrate animals. Mr. Becker is desirous, if possible, of having them identified at an early day, and the specimens are sent you by express to-day for that purpose. They were found in the Cache Lake deposits in the neighborhood of Clear Lake, Cal.

I will be very glad to have your report upon them at as early a day as practicable.

By order of the Director;

Dear Sir;

The Director desires to call your attention to the
necessity of receiving your administrative report for the
current fiscal year not later than July 1st.

In order to secure the prompt issuing of the Annual Re-
port the material therefor must be transmitted to the Public
Printer immediately upon the close of the year.

The manuscript of your paper on Dinocerata should accom-
pany your report.

My dear Professor,

I find your note of the 12th inst on my desk on my return from a brief trip to New Orleans. The corrections mentioned by you in Figs. 126 and 127 will be made. Concerning the extras, I urged upon the Chief Clerk of the Printing Office the necessity of immediately issuing them, and was met with the response that the law forbids. The wording of the Act, it seems, permits the Public Printer to print an extra number of any Government document at the time the regular edition is struck off. I offered in your behalf to pay the expense of putting your article to press, but this had no effect and the offer was declined. I much regret, my dear Professor, that it has not been possible to comply with your wishes.

Very truly yours,

Prof. O. C. Marsh.
