June 27 - Went to Wolfcamp hills and collected at locality found last year. This is definitely in the main mass of the Wolfcamp thick limestone and is about 15 feet below the top of that limestone. Made another collection here. Then collected from Kings bed 9 which is exposed on the slopes south and west of the fork of the Canyon going into the Wolfcamp hills. Rain in afternoon

June 28 - Worked all day in Wolfcamp hills. Collected mainly from lower part of bed 9. Did not find some of the things reported by King. Thick limestones are chiefly reef masses, we think. Collected Uddernites zone on Wolfcamp front but found no good specimens of [[underlined]] Parenteletes. [[/underlined]] Violent thunder storm at night.

June 29 - Collected in 3rd. ls. of Word north - northeast of Hess Ranch in Hess Canyon. Made enormous collection.

June 30 - Collected again in 2nd & 3rd ls. of Word. We found no satisfactory division between these limestones.

July 1 - Back to Hess Canyon to work on 4th ls. of Word. This proved to be so poor that we gave up and went back to the 3rd. ls. Came in about four and packed boxes. 7 to date

July 2 - Collected south slope road Canyon about 1 1/2 miles west of east end. Fossils very scattered and collecting poor. Went over to Skinner Ranch for permission to go on their property. Rained out at 2 P. M.
