Palo Alto, Tuesday Feb. 15 About 9.45 called on Professor James P. Smith Adams waiting for me. Iron began to talk Paleography and later in this discussion we were joined by Prof. Tillman and Herbert Johansen. Lots of great detail, some yardstick's cited climatic and other facts marked directly on map. Tillman knew the Coast Ranges Far and Baja California, Johansen northern California and southern Oregon, while Smith had the paleontology all the formations well in hand - has a big memory. Smith was joined at noon by the Swl. Faculty and together we had lunch at the Student Union, a rather large and good lousy place. Then talked Paleography until 3.30 P.M., when one finished. Got back to the hotel at 4.15 P.M. Jan to lecture tomorrow at 2 P.M. on the Degree Theory of Continental Displacement. Adjusted any maps and maps at the hotel.
