Elwes writes that he has not seen anything of the paper on Scotch sheep which was to be published in The Scottish Naturalist and of which Ewart was to correct the proofs. He mentions a skull and skin of fat-tailed sheep from Central Asia which is now at the British Museum. He has spoken to Lydekker about stuffing other breeds which are not at present represented in the Domestic Animals gallery, but he has been told that there is not enough space and money. However, Fagan, the Secretary of the Museum, has told him that if he and Ewart were to write to the Trustees, they may get some support. He has heard that the Development Commissioners have refused Ewart's application for funds to extend his breeding experiments.
