in recent years been [illegible], but the great majority seem to lie on the farm and consist of only the pieces of vertebrata. These have clumped about for years, some for 20 or 30 years, and now have no value as specimens. November 3rd Spent the entire day over the fields east of Creva Post Office. Saw numerous bones but nowhere any indication of a buried skeleton. Then ever one finds Pecten, a certain unsymmetrical echinoderm, and a Tetractulini one is in the juglodon hole and it is very common to find in such place traces of bones. If it where not for the invertebrates collected the day would have been a failure.
