Hart Merriam Biological Survey 7/ashington, Dear Dr. Merriam: r In preparation for a course in visual instruction to be given next fall, we are using a lantern slide showing a rep- resentative group of the "Indians of California". Knowing of your excellet work done with these west coast people, I am, at the suggestion of Dr. William L. Smith of our department, writing to ask if you would kindly send me any bulletins which you might have prepared as a result of your research. There is a question whether these people used shells in decorating their clothing? Also there seems to be some doubt concerning the seasonal houses. That is, if the open brush shelter was used as a living quarters at the termination of the rainy season? Than king you for whatever aid you may give me, I Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readabilit
