14 [degrees], 24 [degrees] Fine
  Clear & cool with light northerly wind.
  In Garden: Chickadee whistling 
phoe-bee loud & clear, very many
times, 10 a.m. White-breasted Nuthatch
uttering wot - wot - wot song several
times at 8 A.M. 2 [male] Flickers [in a flock] in

calling & singing a little, near Museum.
  Spent day in Museum. Began
cataloguing and labeling the
birds collected by me in Trinidad
in March & April 1894. Ever since
then they have borne only the
original field labels which were
merely small tags marked with
sex & date of each specimen. It
is necessary to reidentify many by
the species, I find.
  Mrs. Melvin called in mid-P.M.
I received her as C. [Caroline] could not.
We sat in hall this eve [evening] & E.R.S. read
aloud from Eustis Diamonds [Eustace Diamonds].
