5 This afternoon visited the Academy of Sciences in Golden Gate Park but found Everman away, Paul Train who is now chief Taxidermist was there and I was shown over the place. The building is only one year old his own Ideal one for exhibition. It has only top light light & the groups are large wall affairs with painted background only a direct front view is possible of them. The backgrounds are by Carvin + are all California scenes as are the mammal birds. They have a San Joaquin Elk group + Mr. Everman is saving a space for a Roosevelt Elk group next to it. + asked me to speak to Col. Roosevelt
