Letter to H. Bancroft, The Managing Secretary, Zoological Gardens Board, Perth from Dr. Ride, Director West Australian Museum.Thank you for making arrangements about material which may die in the Zoo.In relation to the visit to

the Hamersley Ranges, the Expedition was not planned for the collection of live specimens.Should we accidently catch anything live we'll do our best to get it to you.I suggest that such specimens come to you as a loan and are returned to us upon death, making an autopsy unncessary.Material from this area is so rare in museum collections that we cannot afford the risk of losing anything.
