P. 69  From Woodward to Carter at Point Cloates,  re: Thanks for the letter of the 30 July [?] and congratulations on discovering another new bird.
The finds book only contains the names of birds already in the museum.

The year book is as a complete a list Woodward has been able to compile.  
Will be glad to receive the skins of the [?] and [?] mentioned.
Glad to hear the emus are coming down with [?] for the [?] collection of state birds next month. Is anxious to get a clutch of NW Emu eggs.  If the eggs you name are that of the Wedge Tail Eagle would be pleased to receive those.  
Thanks for ongoing contribution to the Museum and the indebtedness of the Committee.

P. 230 From  Woodward to Carter at Point Cloates, re: Sending by mail eggs of Nycticorex caledonicus from a rocky islet off Cape Peron 20 mile south of Fremantle where a large colony of these birds breed while Eurdyptula minor occupy the remainder of the rock.
Added hand written note thanks for the letter.  
I shall be glad to pay for some good skins of a pair of adults or two or three stages of growth.
