Transcribe Gunther, A. Letter to Ward, Henry A. (1876-02-29)

& then, if new species should be found, I may draw your attention to them , so that you can supply other institutions with these particular species.

    I must also mention that for the first twelve

months I should not like to spend more than 150 pounds for North American freshwater fish.

    If you have collectors at the places, I would

advise to commence working the Lakes, Nebraska, and </s the Mississippi > Arkansas. We shall then see after a short time, on what footing our operations can be continued & extended. According to my experience collecting of fish in Central America paid at 3 sh. a piece, & in East Africa at 4 sh.

    You must impress your collectors to be parti-

cular & conscientious about the localities. I remain Yours truly A. Gunther Henry A. Ward Esq. Rochester I open my letter again to reply to yours 2,17th. We are pretty well supplied with specimens &
