Sep. 28 Started at 8 A.M. with fossils for Culma on Trudged before mid north heading then at 9:15. Packed up all of the collection objct I shipped in the afternoon. The lot consists of 2 barrels and four boxes weighing 90 pounds. While packing about the collector Mr. Mackintosh called and asked me to see his collection. Later I called and was sur- priest to see the great liberality of the tailor. It ended by my taking all of his good fossils of more than 30 species larger over 150 specimens. In return I promised if possible to furnish him with some general work on paleontology and the Richardson and Whitney reports. I will pay to encourage the gentleman since I am convinced that other good material are in the territory.
