Janet Adams writes to Glauert seeking advice about a preserved Mundarda (Cercartetus concinnus) and its young and whether it should be sent to the Institute of Pathology in Canberra.
The Mundarda was dead upon arrival the the Chorkeup State School with young in its pouch.
It has been preserved in methylated spirits.
A friend of Adams visiting from Sydney has suggested sending the specimen to Sir William Colin Mackenzie at the Institute of Pathology in Canberra and she is seeking Glauert's advice if this would be appreciated.
Sir William Colin Mackenzie (9 March 1877 – 29 June 1938), usually known as Colin Mackenzie, was an Australian anatomist, benefactor, museum administrator and director. He was best known for creating Healesville Sanctuary.
Adams refers to the snake she had first identified as a Copper Head in her correspondence of 7 July 1936 (A220-75-17-50) as more likely a Gould's snake and is forwarding it for identification.
