Los Angeles, Cali. , June 21, 1909
Dense fog at 6 a.m., but cleared early. I left for Long beach at 10:40 but did not arrive until 11 a.m. on account of trouble with the motor. Stayed in house most of afternoon. Developed negatives in evening.
Long Beach, Cali. , June 22/09
Cloudy forenoon and moist. Saw several large slugs on sidewalk. Walked beyond Seaside and collected a lot of shells etc., 67 specimens. In afternoon Nellie and I went to east San Pedro and collected 869 shells on the SW end of Terminal Island , possibly the residuum of erosion of Pleistocene beds, though the perfect condition of the most fragile Pectens and Crucibulum are against that idea. Clear afternoon.
