Description

[header:] The University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan U.S.A. 48109, Museum of Zoology, Division of Fishes; [handwritten note] Don - if Cas is around could you please take care of this? Thanks, Bob; June 26, 1985; [recipient address:] Dr. C. C. Lindsey, Institute of Animal Resource Ecology, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, B.C. V6T 1W5, Canada; Dear Cas: In 1958, we received (Acc. 1958-VII:29) some of the Mexican fishes collected during the 1957 cruise of the "Marijean", reported on by Karl Ricker in 1959. [paragraph break] Two lots of poeciliids were retained, UMMZ 173824-825, from Field No. BC 57-102, Petacalco Bay, just east of the mouth of Rio Balsas. [paragraph break] We have neither a date of this collection nor name(s) of collector(s). Both collections contain newborn young, so date of collection is especially important. Why the information was not requested in 1958 I have no idea. Unfortunately, Karl Ricker's report on these collections gives no dates. [paragraph break] Could you please supply the collection date and collector(2) (= "Marijean" or ?). Thanks very much. [paragraph break] Great news about your award. See you in Stockholm.; Cordially, Robert R. Miller, Curator of Fishes; [footnote:] RRM:cgz, cc: Don McPhail, Accession file
