Will Thomas look over the enclosed list of Mammals of Japan (pp. 394-395 of ARW's Island Life) and make corrections.
His young friend Fred Birch is going to British Guiana. Cd Thomas advise Birch on what to collect and give him a copy of the department's printed instructions - send specimens directly to the Museum for Thomas to choose what he requires - will Museum pay a fixed price per specimen - ARW asks because "we can hear of no trustworthy agents".
Sends enclosed cutting from correspondent in Melbourne "in case it shd not have been brought to your notice". Has not heard of any Australian Mammal of the size and characters described.
