   nerArthar: 
             I w11l be glad to serve on your advisor7 committee 
 as Indicated in your letter of Jan. TO. 
 
             The clearest case of wild establishment in pheasanta 
 und iluted by recent plants is northwestern Iowa.   ite  .. 
 Schuenke  3 uperintenient of %,:e, for srperimens. 
 
              I take the liberty of sending you a letter from my 
 friond Wallace (range on the matter of standirds. 'y not adopt 
 his siugestion of putting, T-k   standards up to the ornitholorists 
 who have access to the type specimens? 
 
              'The pheasant is alrealy so moA-relized that the 
  preservation of a pure type is less important..but a higher 
  standard for turkeys Is a pressing matter. 
 
               I once gathered some Relelae:1_ill ratios on phesanta 
  but the resnis were a ho4ge-pode. The kill fi-ures put out by 
  some states are very, inacarate; it is hard to convert farmer-eggs 
  into rsleases.ani the available data apply to areas so large as 
  to be in themselves a      tomposite of many conditions. 'his is an 
  important enterprise but I doubt if it is possible to get anythiag 
  convincing without travel. I give a brief 5wuwiry of my ft Mres 
  in my forthcoming book. 
              I see nothirw wrong 7ith your outline and think it 
  wo'ald yield some interestiW- comptrative stati 3tics. The pe- simisa 
  expressed above pertains only to the   !,retation of the 
  statisties. 
              with be-t rerds 
                                Yours sincerely
