Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to C. Hart Merriam
Theodore Roosevelt writes to C. Hart Merriam about the meaning of the word “species.” He feels the use of the word is simply a question of terminology. Roosevelt also recalls an argument between himself and Merriam about the connection between coyotes and wolves. Roosevelt also anticipates a delivery of lynx skins and skulls, as well as cougar skulls.
