Transcribe Allen, J. A. Letter to Ward, Henry A. (1879-05-10)

to have suffered no harm,ap- pears not to have hurt anything else. I think an artificial ear can be fixed up, in which case it will make a good specimen -

       Among the birds I find five

specimens that are not quite up to my standard - in fact I consider them decidedly bad, & have accordingly set them aside. They are the following 3497 Orthoeca fumieola 3.00 3101 Xylobucco ^ colopacea 3.00 3097 Diceurn tryonostynia 3.50 2961 Nettopus auritus 6.00 3493 Rhipidura nolbogulosis 4.50

                                                         20.00
       Of these specimens sent on 

approval I will take two, namely Chrysoener victoe 13.00 Laneprolia victiriae 4.50
