packing. The fossils are all first wrapped in paper and packed in pasteboard boxes, these boxes to be packed in wooden boxes. The rock and mineral specimens are to go into wooden boxes loose.
Discovered strong dip to the NW at our morning station, while nearby it was strong to the SW. Saw mourning doves and house wrens. Got specimens packed in 4 wooden boxes.
Went to spring in evening and were caught in hard rain. The afternoon was clearer than usual. Am completely used up by the heavy digging for the last week and am heartily glad we are through.
Aug 8. Bright morning but soon clouded. Am spending the day chiefly in resting from the fatiguing work recently done.
Saw Robins yesterday and today and a meadow lark Sunday evening.
