covered to be filled with fragments of bones, and was afterwards designated as quarry 
A (See fig. 24, A). On our return to the ranch I reported to Mr. James H. Cook

that the place which his son had shown me was of much interest and importance to 
me and that I wished to start the work of excavation on the prospect immediately. 
This was entirely satisfactory to Mr. Cook and his family. In fact there was evident 
satisfaction on the part of Mr. Cook that I had found something which I regarded as 
of interest and importance near his farm, and I was accorded every civility, which 
I could possibly desire. As I wished to be near my work, Mr. Cook invited me to 
camp in his “lower field.” Accordingly our first camp was pitched on the south 
bank of the stream close to the hill and the operation of excavating in quarry A 
was begun during the last few days of July. We had worked three or four days in 
this quarry when I decided to visit the two buttes (since named Carnegie Hill and 
University Hill by Prof. E. H. Barbour) which lie about three hundred yards to 
the south of the place where we were working. One may easily imagine the thrill- 
ing excitement of a fossil-hunter when he finds the talus of the hillsides positively 
covered with complete bones and fragments of fossil remains. 
It was with comparatively little effort that I was able to articulate portions of

government land.
