the feet of Diceratheriwm cooki and Moropus using the disassociated bones picked. up 
in great abundance in the talus. Here then was a veritable wonderland! I spent 
a considerable portion of the afternoon before I returned to where my assistants, 
Mr. 'T. F. Oleott and A. A. Dodd, were at work. The next day I again returned to 
the hills with wrapping paper, twine, and a sack in order to pack and bring down 
the bones which I had picked up the previous day; and also to more fully ascer- 
tain, if possible, the extent of these deposits. A few days later when I reported my 
additional find to Mr. Cook, I learned that I was perhaps notithe original discoverer 
of the bones in these two hills, as he told me that he had seen bones there as long

ago as 1890, but always thought them to be of recent origin. In 1908 I was further 
convinced that the bones in these hills had been seen even earlier by Mr. Octave 
Harris,,, a prominent ranchman of the neighborhood. To Mr. Cook is, however, 
due much credit, as these deposits of bones would perhaps not have been brought to 
the attention of paleontologists at this time, had he not invited me to his ranch. 
In looking over the whole situation it was plain that the deposits required more 
time and assistance than I then had. ‘Together with this fact I may mention that 
I had not been well all thaf spring; in fact I was obliged to leave the field on 
account of sickness about the middle of August. I wish to here acknowledge, with 
much appreciation, the kind and sympathetic treatment I received from Mr. Cook 
and his family during my week of sickness at hisranch. Before leaving for the east 
8 Mr. Harris extended much aid to our party during our last (1908) season’s work in the quarry, and the interest 
which he took in our work is heartily appreciated and most gratefully acknowledged.
