Dear Dr. Babb: Vernon Bailey tells m that he has just had a latter from you from the above addresSt in which yw mentionP^^S^ University Museum contains ten skulls of Bearst mainly without data« I do not care to see an7 mora Black Bear skulls just at present but am very anxiotis to examine as many Qrizzlies as possible* even if they are not labelled for locality. If there are any Grizzlier in the collec- tion I should be greatly obliged if they might be loaned to 'HO for a short tirm. You can easily distinguish the skulls of Grizzlies from those of Black Bears, irres- spwtive of sex and age, by the size of the molar teeth, pi^icularly the last upper molar, which in the Griz- slies is always decidedly larger than in the Blacks. If you find any Grizzlies in the collectioij, and will be good enough to send them, pleeuse ship by r eapresB. .charges collect, addressed: U. S. Biolpgical Surrey. Dept. of ilgriculture. Waahi^^ton.
