CANADA Ottawa, Canada, December 16, 1918 Dr# C. Hart Merriam 1919 Sixteenth street Washington, D. C* Dear Doctor Merriam,- Wr. Frederick Lambart, of Ottawa, has just called me up and asked about the skull of Alaska Boundary Griz- zly, Ursus internationalis Merriam, collected by him in 1912, and presented to the Victoria -"^emorial Museum, No. 1763 (mammals). I informed him that this skull had been sent to you at Washing- ton lasyC together with other grizzly and brown bear skulls, and had not been returned. Mr. Lambart is anxious to obtain a photo- graph of the skull of this bear, for a paper or lecture which he is preparing, and asked me to ask whether you could send him a photograph of this skull. If you are through with this skull you might send it back to us and we could hare a photograph made here. Otherwise we are in no hurry about having the specimens returned here. I sent quite a lot of specimens of Arctic mammals , foxes, hares, wolves, spermophiles, etc., down to W ashington recently, and hope to come to Washington before the winter is over to make some studies and comparisons*.
