(20) On the morning I dined with Everman, his family + Snyder at Oakland. Later I gave a talk in China The East at the Cooper Club in the New York. Zool. Here I met and old boys as Mailard Roswell Wheeler + Carridger. Wheeler who is a teacher in Oakland schools has travelled in China + Arabia & Japan At Kobe he said he had bought many beautiful Eastern slides of a local dealer who colored them. Snyder made some remarks after my Talk & said Carnivora Fishing could be seen by daylight at certain localities. There was a long discussion if only the crops are not entering insects because all insect feeding small birds have been exterminated in Japan
