Dear Dr. Herklots:
Your letter or may 9th, 1952, and its enclosure have
peen received.
I am to-day sending to the University Treasurer our
checks for the following Sums as grants from the косkеieller
Foundation to be turned over to you for the purposes indicated
$300 Hongkong currency for the expenses in connection
with one collector in your survey of the Fauna and Flora of your region.
$500 U.S. currency toward the publication of your
Hongkong Naturalist. Possibly you may wish to convert this into Hongkong dollars and invest it as a nucleus of a paulication and the interest of which goes annually into your puviication expenses. You are free, however, to use your own judgment in connection with the best use of this fund in connection wità the Hongkong Naturalist.
We hope that soth of these projects, which you have
laboured so strenuously to put through, will be carried on and
that they will meet with an increasing support from those
interested in scientific matters in the Colony.
While the Foundation's policies are not such that they
can make grents to publications, yet I have been given
discretionary powers in the use or certain small funus which are
Dr. G. A. C. Herklots.
The Rectory,
Poole, Dorset.
