book on Indian birds (photos, descriptions
biographical text & anatomical drawings
with many pen & ink vignettes, all done
by the authors' own hand except the
title page which alone was printed.
  This work has never been published. The
author lost his sight & died before it
was quite finished.
  Dr.S. then took us to the Zoo
where I spent several hours very pleasantly.

Salisbury
July 24. -  Cloudy with occasional brief bursts
of sunshine. Rather cool with strong wind.
Wrens singing freely near hotel in early morning.
To Cathedral at 10 A.M. It is in perfect
condition & harbors few birds but I saw Jackdaws
& Pigeons (C. [Columba] aenas?) entering crevices in the walls.
Green Finches very numerous in the neighboring
gardens. Also saw Spotted Flycatcher & heard
Robins, chirping. Many House Martins flying
about Cathedral. I saw three of their nests
attached to its walls, one fully 100 ft. [feet] up.
Bishops' garden very beautiful with few
trees. Many other beautiful gardens & houses.
Lindens in full bloom & very fragrant.
Swifts numerous all over the town.
  To Old Sarum and S[t]onehenge 2 to 7 P.M.
going & returning by different roads. Road
out on open rolling country with numerous
grain fields & pastures & few hedges.
Landscape exceedingly like that of plains
in Colorado. Skylarks swarming & singing 
freely. One at Sarum mounted to a great
height & sang 9 minutes & 35 seconds
