collecting history or eating nuts or other wild fruit. It is a crime after six months of work at one posterior faunal evidence is at hand. Then I told McCoy that I hear less of the formations today than I did three weeks ago. Further, the weather and fossils are respectively. Now as for home and due if I cannot adjust the position of the Coney, Jackson and Monroe equivalents. Also as to the time when the Anticline was raised, with the information there, The fossil fauna has collected, and the literature it still seems to me that I should be able to adjust the problems. Undoubtedly McCoy's faith in Bryan is duly shaken and it should be. He is not a responsible man in so important a place as Jalen told it to the Empire Co. He either cannot explain the true conditions of strata in a given sequence, jumps to conclusions that he maybe able to prove or not at all, or does not collect fossils at all. He tells me that he goes to localities and makes a faunal list as he sees the fossils. The latter means that he spots but few species and with some of the rock gets them many in too broadly delimited. Conclusions in the Pennsylvania cannot be built of this way.
