Buffalo, N. Y. April 12-1930 Spent the morning at the new Natural Hist. Museum of the Buffalo Society of Nat. Sci. in Humbolt Park. A great improvement over the old museum. The conception is rather for educational purposes and local needs. Labels everywhere say that the present arrangement is temporary until the installa- tions can be made permanent. Marchand has put me five pieces of res- toration. A composite one of German Sea, a coral reef with crinids in abundance; done fine porcelite and a large Ostracous. All excell the Museum to a great one and should help to develop the oceans of Buffalo. About the afternoon at Niagara Falls. Got into a N. Y. Central Sleeper at 9.30 and at 10.45 P. M. the train started for Boston. On time at 7.38, A. M. April 13 Sunday. Left Springfield at 8 and was at home at 10.45 A. M. Spent the rest of today at the museum looking up the accumulated mail.
