San Diego, Tuesday Jan. 18.
Worked all day in the Popes Library of
the Natural History Museum. Looked through Cal.
Reports but got little that was stirring now.
Wednesday Jan 19
Continued the work of yesterday. Read
many Fairbanks on Coast Ranges, and with
the criticisms by Turner made some progress towards
a better Paleography. At night fried up some of
the crops.
Thursday Jan. 20.
Continued reading California geology.
Cloudy and rainy in the N.W. to E.
Friday, Jan 21.
Once a little stiff with a cold contracted
the first day in the Museum, beside a radia-
tor and fat on a cement floor. Continued
reading monstroses, but there was no spirit
in it at all.
