Ther. [Thermometer] Fri. [Friday] Feb. 25, 1910 [February 25, 1910] Wea. [Weather]
4 [degrees], 20 [degrees] Fine.
Clear & cold with light W. [west] wind.
  Spent day in Museum. Began
a rearrangement of the smaller birds
in gallery and finished one of the
three long tiers of cans emptying
54 trays = fully 3 cans of space.
As with the large birds this work
is done on the assumption that
the collection will not be materially 
added to in the future. Hence room
left in almost every can for expansion
is no longer likely to be of use. By
condensing I can make a more
convenient general arrangement &
discard a number of old fashioned cans.
C. [Caroline Brewster] & E.R.S, [Elizabeth R. Simmons] went to their Bee this evening.
Walter called this forenoon. Also Christian
Hansen of Concord to ask for the loan of
$150 which I directed Gilbert to refuse.
Saw only one bird, a Flicker, in Garden
to-day.

Bangs has utterly transformed my room
& was hard at work there amid an
ocean of newly acquired bird skins.
  Saw Faxon & talked half an hour with
him. He wants to go to England with
me in 1911. Got home at 1.30 walking
back. Several callers used up P.M.
