Morning, After breakfast dress and go up to Starr King's church where Mr. Stebbins gives a fair sermon on the Character of Ecclesiastes. Go up to Stearns' after (to dinner) church and look up Bullina etc. in connection with the Lomatelloid shell he has from Monterey. After dining with him, go down to the consuls where I take tea and pass a pleasant evening. Miss deRo comes in, in the course of the evening. My shells are getting to fill up my stateroom tremendously. Since our arrival here I have dispatched our collections to Washington. Started in with Stearns and the others, to wake up the Cala. Acad. from its azoic state; written a memorial of Dr. Thos. Bridges. Collected some 500 species shells. Made preparations to work up the California mollusks at the Survey Rooms, obtain Bridges' collection of Chilian plants for the Smithsonian. 

The year is ended. It has been a successful and eventful one for me. Another may be less of either or both. I shall continue my present philosophy of minding my own biz. and pinning my faith on nobody's mantle. So exit 1865 ----
