[[in pencil]] Dec 29, 1929 [[/pencil]]

Dec 30- Another glorious day, 10409 to 10448, with 2 more Andropogons I never saw before [[strikethrough, in blue]] 2 [[/strikethrough]] [[insertion, in blue]] 1 rare Steirachne [[/insertion]] 1 Campulosus, Mesosetum ferrugineum, another Pancuim, [[strikethrough]] a [[/strikethrough]] Briza [[insertion, in blue]] calotheca [[/insertion]] with big spikelets like Triodia texana, a var? of Pasp macul [[strikethrough]] atum [[/strikethrough]] osum with little spklts, besides [[margin, vertical line in blue]] a lot ^[[insertion]] of species [[/insertion]] I got in 1925. I haven't had such exciting botanizing since my first days in the dunes of Indiana. I'd like to stay [[/margin]] longer. After 7 km my press was bulging and it was 1:30 with 6 km to go in an hour and a half, so I couldn't circle out among the rocks or along little streamlets as I'd been doing, but kept along at top speed, but even so I got an Androp new for me and a little Leptocoryphium with scarcely hairy spklts. Instead of one species it seems to me now there are 3 of that genus. I grabbed some other things as I hurried and just made the train with an armful of grasses and no time to buy a ticket. I have 2 presses as thick as straps will hold and a big bundle out of press -- thanks to the kitchen
