August 6. Finished sorting
and cataloging all specimens
by noon, but most from Barnard
River still not in papers by
2pm. After lunch, looked at
specimens on dryer overnight
- found them disappointingly
wet. Put many out to air-
dry & to make room for new
material in press. By 6:00
pm. had everything either in
press on the heater or else
out exposed to dry air of
room - a great relief, ca
Donning. I worked most of
day putting them in papers.
Finally found Fissidens, not
seen in field - other things will
undoubtedly turn up. Dinner
at Brown's. A real storm -
walking home from lab was like
being pitched.
