Dear Dr. Harrison;
A long time has elapsed since we exchanged letters.
If you still desire an adult male Hooded Merganser I can now let you have a fine specimen and in exchange I would like
to have a pair of any of the following ducks.- Male and Female adult.
Anas querquedula (L) ad M. & F.
Netta rufina (Pall.) "
"
Aythya m. marila (L) " "
Aythya m. nyroca (Gold) " "
Melanitta f. fusca (L) " "
Melanitta n. nigra (L) " "
For further exchange I can secure specimens of Western Harlequin Duck, Surf Birds, Aleutian and other local
Sandpipers Red-breasted Merganser, Ancient Murrelets, Marbled Murrelets and Black Turnstones, if you are so
interested.
I noticed your name in the list of visitors to the Swedish Ornithologigal Conference last summer and I hope you had a
very enjoyable time.
Have planned a collecting trip in late April and May next and will fly to the north end of Vancouver Island and will
work that part of the Island. I went up there last October and spent five delightful and successful weeks.
With kindest regards to both David and yourself,
Sincerely yours,
Kenneth Racey
