Banks 1954 Journal 27. 16 April Hastings Reservation, Monterey Co., Calif. In the afternoon we had an opportunity to talk with Dr. Thorpe, from England. We discussed general things mainly but compared his work to my problem and he seemed interested. He was a fairly easy man to talk to on such short acquaintance. We left the reservation about 1500, arrived in Berkeley about 1900 hrs. Birds added on the way home were: Redwing, English Sparrow, Coat Brener's Blackbird, Western (Ahs.) Kingbird.
