THE UNVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA.

sir,

Vancouver, Canada,

236

November 30th, 1922.

I trust you will excuse the delay in

eoknow edging your letter of July 5th. It is due to my

absence in Europe, without a fixed address, so that it did

not come before me until my return.

The terms you mention in the above letter

are quite satisfactory, That I had in mind as "living expenses while in the field", is this. If when working in the more inscessible parte of the territory it were found to be more economical to remain out in the field than to

return for the night to one'e living quarters, the outlay

necessary to do so ought not to be a charge upon the geologist, to whom it would be an addition to him regular living expense, but upon the government that is benefiting financially from it. Not knowing the local conditions, I cannot say whether this onee would arise frequently or

not at all.

It is a small matter that can be settled satisfactorily on the spot, since it can only arise when it would be advantageous to the goverment to have such an

arrangement,

The topographical map you sent me, is

admirably adapted to our purposes, Having such a base map, all the geologist will need for his work will be one native to act as interpreter and at the same time to carry specimens etc.
