Saw Mr Harris for two hours and spoke generally of fossils and paleontology. I stopped at the Rand Hotel. Oct. 18. Met Mr Harris at 7.30 A.M. and began at once to look over his fine fossils. At ten o'clock it was agreed that I should take all of his star fishes for study, the museum to pay all expenses of publication. Harris to be coauthor with C.D... In the afternoon packed up all the starfish 62 specimens into three boxes and 2 postages. In the morning Mr Harris informed me that he had made a will in which he stipulated that the U.S. National Museum had been given all of his fossils as a donation, the collection to be kept together.
