  Clear and cool, very little wind
  Spent day in Museum writing
much but little progress partly
because of the difficulty of my
subject (a philosophized discussion of
bird distribution) and partly
because I was repeatedly interrupted.
Hansen called in P.M. to say that
he has decided to leave us on April 1.
  Walter was housed at home by
a heavy cold.

  Sunny but hazy. Chilly with
light cold wind.
  Walter still confined to the house
by his cold. I worked on the
Cambridge paper all day. Identified
an Owl referred by Howe & Allen to
Bubo subarcticus as B. arcticus [Bubo arcticus]. Wrote
a page on it & another on Picoides 
arcticus both for my list. Also worked
a little on my introduction.
