Nov. 1 - Washington This afternoon I went down on to the B.S mammal range; talked with H.H.T. Jackson, E.A.Goldman, A.H.Howell - all that are left of the B.S mammal men, now active! Saw a chronological graph on the wall showing history of mammal collecting under B.S - shows zero (1934,'35). Goldman is about to be sent off on another duck-counting expedition to Mexico. He lamented having to set aside his mammal work for "game" work. I suspect he is somewhat adrift in his own interest since Nelson's death; the latter was Goldman's guide and, indeed, director. Rem. Kellog and Miller advise making each Curator's complete set of his own writings - the Museums pays for the binding. Kellogg is finishing up his biggest paper yet, on the zeofodonts, to appear in the Carnegie pubs. Says he hasn't seen J.C.Merriam lately; it is budget time at the Carnegie Inst., and noone ventures to bother the administrators there of this season! Kellogg says Goldman is the only really hard worker on mammals on the B.S. staff now; Jackson "does nothing", merely complains!
