Looked several times at decaying nutmeg husks but saw no insects in them. 
Arrived home in time for a late lunch. After that I wrote a letter to the Smithsonian requesting the advance of $1000 on next year's allowance. Won't mail it till next week. Went to the library with Ruth, but wasn't so much impressed. Started to read "The Return of Bulldog Drummond", and brought it home. Read all evening too!
[[margin]] I-25-36 [[/margin]] The following excerpts are from the Grenada Handbook for 1915. (not quoted verbatim)
Grenada is situated about 90 mi. north of Trinidad, 60 mi. northwest of Tobago, 68 mi. south-south-west of St. Vincent, and 100 mi. south-west of Barbados. It is about 21 miles long and 12 miles at greatest breadth, containing about 120 square miles. The central range, traversing the length of the island, lies closer to the west coast; its high points are (Mt. St. Catherine) 2,749 ft., 2300 ft, and 2,014'. On the north-east, east and south-east the mountains gradually slope off to the sea, but on the west coast, the mountains run down to the sea.
The island is purely volcanic in origin, the only signs of upheaval being raised limestone beaches towards the extreme north. It is probably of somewhat older origin than the other volcanic West Indian islands.
