Ther. [Thermometer] THURS. MAR. 17, 1910 [Thursday, March 17, 1910] Wea. [Weather]
Stormy
Snowing nearly all day, most of
the snow melting as it fell but the
ground white at nightfall.
  Spent day in Museum working
on reply to Dwight adding a lot 
of fresh matter to it. No callers.
Billcliffe set up a new book case
in the den yesterday. He was
working in C.'s [Caroline's] "peace room" to-day.
  George drew off all the water in
the larger pond thereby exposing
two large Frogs which stiffened &
died before I heard of it. I had
one brought into the Museum but
it could not be revived. All
the little fish in the smaller pond
have perished this last week.
2 Blue Jays in lilacs - very tame.
Flicker shouting in Garden. No other
birds.
Cambridge.
Ther. [Thermometer] Fri. [Friday] Mar. [March] 18, 1910 Wea. [Weather]
16º [16 degrees]; 32º [32 degrees]   Fine.
Clear & cold but windless or 
nearly so. Worked on the reply
to Dwight this forenoon, finishing
it at last I trust.
  Spent afternoon in the bird room
working with Gilbert [Robert Alexander Gilbert]. We put
away some skins that have just 
come back from Angell & Cash
and put temporary numbers 
on all the cans & cases in
which bird skins and eggs are
kept. I have had this in 
mind for some time. Permanent
numbers will be affixed later.
  Went to Harvard Square at 5 P.M.
& had my hair cut. Spent evening
in our hall C. [Caroline] & E.R.S. [Elizabeth R. Simmons] reading aloud.
  The Junco & Fox Sparrow back in the Garden. I wonder where they spent
yesterday. One Flicker to-day.
