Madison, Monday Oct 2-1933
Spent first of the day at the home of Drise.
Called on Prof. Leik and saw Dr. Tracitus,
& Baa - . The latter to send me some of the
Mrs. Combsia hutchinsos of Wisconsin. She is
at work on a study of Ophiurids. Ideas &
genera and other things as many species. Has
10 or 20 plates of them - photo of the specimens.
Is at work on them for five years and has no
ones completed. I promised to send her titles of
the papers of David on Polych. worms, and the
papers by the Vienna specialist of crustacea.
In the evening Dretn called and
we had a long talk on three paleontologic and
text-books. Her recent studies and facts give
clues for coming men of importance. Is
much interested in biographies & geologists.
