Friday, March 14-1919. Spent the day at the G.A.R. meetings. Mr. Moore of Wichita Kansas and y Dr. Plum- mer's staff in studying the Bend faunas. He has 185 species of which 20% 42 are undet sp. Has found Crinoids, 27 sp. of Hygroa, 18 brach, 27 bivalves, 23 gast., 20 cephalopods, 4 test., etc. Does not agree with Sixty since he cuts are Pennsylvanian, and or far Mississippian. The Iowa Bend has a small fauna and these species are much like those of the Marble Falls. Has no Fusulina in Marble Falls. He says the whole fauna is much like Mississippi but clearly the fauna is nearer the Monon. Lem to see his prints on Sunday at Minusal Youngs, The banquet was a big affair and many of the citizens of Dallas attended. Fearfully crow- ded and the music was not music at all simply noise. It came one ask, and I left before the speak- gy was over. * It appears that some of Morres material came from the Bend County
