Wareham, Mass.
1900
June 12-14
(No 3a)
  The footnote to "otter tracks" on the page
just before this was not written at the same
time as the rest but on February 18, 1909,
just after confirming my recollection of the dead
alewife, the roily water and the Otter "seen a few
days before", by questioning Outram Bangs
about these things. He remembered them all
perfectly. Had it not been so I should not
have mentioned them here, nor in the article
on Otters which I have just sent to "Science"
for publication. The reason why they were not 
mentioned originally was probably because I
had so much to write about the interesting visit
to Wareham in June, 1900.
