the Paleontology collection since Prof Chapman has nearly resumed his professorship. Spent the evening at the home of Mr Townsend. He has quite a collection of Canadian fossils which he wants to sell for $600. His collection is mostly in Swellf (sic) Majora and Clinton also Ontario. He agreed to furnish a collection of at least one hundred Swellf species for fifty dollars which I accepted and on which I paid him $20. He will collect for the museum at $6 per month which includes all expense when the localities are not too far away. Or $15 dollar per month and travelling expense. He has a very fine small lot of a large Hemicyclites which one should have. He was offered $200 and believe that sum once more got him. Send Townsend some publication.
