Had C. M. Arensen of the Oklahoma State Survey to dinner at the Murray Hill Hotel. He is now studying with Professor Bailey at Columbia. Asked him to talk to me about the Starly and Juedsfn and he did it to completion. I then wired him to protect himself by presenting the matter to the S.J.C. This spring at Boston, in To publish a summary report in the G.J.D., under fifth. He has worked over the entire area of about 1000 square miles since April 1916. He camps in the center of each Township moving east and west and walking north and south on the section lines. The country is infested with coyotes and more skunks, The latter ones are those here and do not in the least consider him though they invite him to the stills and offer him cigarettes. He never touches it. the area is wonderfully interesting for geological structure, and I am to see his maps in the morning. The Starly details are in reflect with asphalt and coal field bit, and Arensen believes them all to be found to the south under the Cretaceous corn. The Starly to the east is mainly sandstone.
