Palo Alto, Tuesday Feb 15 About 9.45 called on Professor James R. Smith. Adresses waiting for me. Iron began to talk Paleography and later in this discussion we were joined by Prof. Tillman and Herbert Johnson. Lost a great deal of detail, some yard sticks noted elsewhere and other facts marked directly on map. Tillman knew the Coast Range, Far and Baja California, Johnson northern California and southern Oregon, while Smith had the Paleontology; gave the formations well in hand - has a big memory. Smith was joined at noon by the Earl Faculty and together we had lunch at the Student Union, a rather large and good lofty place. Then talked Paleography until 3.30 P.M., when one finished. Left back to the hotel at 4.15 P.M. Jan to lecture tomorrow at 2 P.M. on the Rejener Theory of Continental Displacement. Adjusted my notes and maps at the hotel.
