</u unmounted. > Save all the skulls you do not absolutely need in mounting the skins. You will of course need the skulls for the teeth </s for > in the Rodents & perhaps in some others. I suppose Mr.Agassiz has arranged with you about terms, time & c. In a few weeks shall send on a large invoice of skeletons.

  Please inform me as to the

condition of the skins, & c. Please retain the numbers & labels with the specimens to which they refer, & in case of the skulls duplicate for them the corresponding number of the skin to which they belong. Very truly yours
