Zoology--Methodology

Edmund Heller is happy to be asked to accompany President Roosevelt on his trip to Africa. Roosevelt’s route will allow the party to first collect the more common game, with the opportunity for discoveries coming later when they travel through Uganda and on the Nile. Heller’s past experience on in Africa was with Carl Ethan Akeley’s Field Museum expedition, where he was in charge of salting the skins of the game. He was not involved in outfitting the expedition. Heller regrets that he cannot immediately be of help to Roosevelt in the planning and organization of the trip.
