whom you mentioned, is reassuring. Later I may be able to see these things at little or no extra expense. I will then see what can be done. On my last trip I found the hind limb of a Dinosaur in the Mesa Verde coal beds about 20 miles from here. There are bones in various places. I have recently found a locality in the Green River formation where myriads of little fish have been caught in a drying pond or bayou and have been preserved. I shall endeavor to get a large slab of this for ehibition and for the geological story which it tells. You ahve undoubtedly noticed that slab mounts showing the circumstances of some of these tragedies fo the past appeal far more to the popular mind than skeletons, for example which have been take out of the rock and mounted on thier feet. I have never seen anything else, except a cyclone or a railroad wreck, which so startles people as a view of the Dinosaur quarry when some of the huge brutes are partly unearthed. Earl Douglass
