San Francisco, Friday Feb 18. A bright cool morning and at 9.05 AM, I am off for San Francisco. Arrived at 10.15 and transferred to the Ferry Building where I checked my bagage so that I could see the city before going on Tuesday to Berkely. In the Ferry Building is an immense relief model [correctly like 600 ft long] of California. I walked my foot for the Coast Ranges. Tried to get a picture of it but more to be had. Then looked things the State Mining Bureau devoted to mineral and economic giology but not geology and not at all to paleon- tology. Then called at Magnard Shipley's office of the Arborist League of America but he is there only on three afternoons. Did not see him. I then visited the Post Museum, the Aquarium, and the California Academy down for 16th & Sute Park. With the latter is the Steinhart Aquarium. The collections are very fine in geology (Mammalalia and Birds). Otherwise try almost little. One long man we have in Ethnology.
