98 June 2 Boston work with him. "He wants full credit to himself for every cause he contributed to!" This afternoon in Boston Soc. Nat. Hist. with Dr. Glover M. Allen. U.C. should have a complete set of C.J. Maynard's books. These can be obtained only from the author, who is now about 70 years old; he has but just gotten out a small book [as previously noted] written, figures engraved, typed and bound, all by himself! The Boston Soc. Nat. Hist. has a building and lot all its own. The building is devoted chiefly to exhibits in zoology, including a large synoptic series of mounted birds, very many of them from the old Lafresné collection which was bot in America.
