" Nov. 8. lay all day on the Jenpodon no. 2. The bones are extremely soft and much broken so that it is a question whether any can be taken up. Still I will try to expose them and allow the same to dry and harden them before I attempt to take them up. During the day found a good ( humerus ) shoulder-blade, the next bone, and one of the two large secondary bones of the paddle. Also a lower jaw ( one side) and other bones. One fine molar tooth was picked out but a few inches away from the lower jaw.
