Pal Alto, Wednesday, Feb 16.
Studied all morning my notes for the
lecture at 2 P.M. Then went home and
on Jefferson way. It seemed to take very
well.
Then visited Prof. Blackwells office and he
showed me some fine samples. I saw boren sand
and flustiny granite rocks, green on which
the garnet where left or pebble, another sample
had the harder we standy out.
He showed me a picture of granite faulted over
pleiocne strata and are planed across to a general
level. So pathory data done far back the present
topography can be traced. It for some first back of
the Andirece.
Had dinner at Prof. Smith's home and met
his wife and two sons. His daughter is in Europe.
Then attended a lecture on the Milliken
rays by the physicist Professor Brown.
