If you don't send on more specimens, there will be nothing left for him to do. I wish you would now go to work, with every force at command, to make a very large collection of specimens from the Brazos. Get everything, and look particularly for crabs of all kinds, especially the minute ones. Worms, shells, star fish, &c. secure with all diligence. Look sharp for the Hydragiras, the little banded fish; ... I have a special reason for wanting such quantities independently of the ordinary want of ...specimens. Ever yours, S. F. Baird. From S. F. Baird to Robert Kennicott ". October 6, 1853. My dear Sir: I have just come across a very interesting work called the "Boy Hunters," by Capt. Mayne Reid, of which I beg your acceptance. It will always give me much pleasure to stimulate your tastes for natural history by means of such works as this, which are well cal- culated to impart the spirit of their authors. I also send some mis- cellaneous works which I hope may all reach you. I have not yet had time to make any minute examination of the fish, &c, you so kindly sent me, but hope to do so before very long.
