unavoidable yet it is a gain in at least two ways. We get the work done by men whome we pay far less than the men in the laboratory and then we will save a very large amount in freight. Of course there will be a good many blocks but on the whole, so far we have boxed far less matrix in proportion to the bone than formerly. Where Kay is working -- just east of the jam the bones are in hard rock and come out (the greater part of them) in blocks. There are 3 packages (not large) which ought to have been put in boxes sent to you. They may be part of sternal apparatus. If you work out these bones let me know and I will send them by express. Two of them are No. 210/11 of diagram. Yours truly Earl Douglass
