Cambridge, July 14, 1904.
  Clear and cool.
Spent day in museum and garden, writing a few letters,
clearing up my desk, superintending Patsy & his men
who were cutting down the large cherry tree behind the museum
which died last winter.
  Townsend came out at 5 P.M. to identify some
birds which he had borrowed from Essex Institute. There were
3 supposed European Dunlins which proved to belong to the American
form and two Macrorhamphus scolopaceus.
  Townsend, Dr. J.E. Goldthwaite, Miss Swasey, C. [Caroline] & I
took tea on the back piazza. A good flight of Robins.
  First Cicada "frying" today. Two pink pond lilies in the pond.
