Banks 1958 Journal p. Babe 1958 Journal 2 5 Feb. 1958* Brooks Island San Francisco Bay, Calif. After leaving Red Rock came here. Arrived about 1200, stayed until 1430. Here I spent all my time working in the Indian shell mound deposits. Dug out many fragments of bird bones, also some fish vertebrae and part of a sea otter skull. Paul dug out some human remains and artifacts. Along the edge of the mound the tide is washing things away, and many bones are just lying among the shells that make up the beach line. Saw in the bay horned geese, Bufflehead.
