Camp Carnegie



Dr. W. J. Holland,

My Dear Doctor;-

	I will write a few lines to let you now how we are getting on. When I got to camp I found that Mr. Hatcher and the boys had struck some bones where I expected to find the limb bones of the Diplodocus, but not belonging to last year's catch: it is another one, and I believe a good one. The bones are not connected as the one we found last year, but I believe we will get the limb bones. At present we have 24 vertebrae in sight, consisting of caudals, dorsals and cervicals, some ribs, 2 sternal plates, the right scapula and coracoid. The bones are generally in good preservation, some of them better than those obtained last year. Many of the vertebrae we have taken up and put in the tent at the quarry, and just as soon as the ground is settled in the mountain so we can haul the lumber out, will box up what we have and ship to the railroad with our own teams.

	I send you by this mail some prints from the quarry, so you can see something of the position of the bones.

	Give my regards to all inquiring friends.

		Yours truly,

			W. H. Reed,
