Saw the bunch off after breakfast - Dr. Tennent and Dr. Grave. 
Spent forenoon in laboratory getting caught up, solutions changed, etc. 
For once, feel up to date and not rushed. It has been the dickens up to now 
getting specimens cared for and what brief notes I have written up. Now 
everything is ship-shape for last two weeks. 
Went dredging in afternoon. Made two hauls off S.W. of Bird Key on

0 6 (> Dictyota, Hypnea, some Halimeda,and green tufted plumes short on stalks and 
the matted filamentous kind, some eel grass. 
Then made one haul on what appeared pretty good eel grass bottom of S.W. 
# x „

Then made two hauls on bottom similar to first two (l & 2) on far east 
side of Bird Key Harbor in about 8-10 feet of water. Great many Pitho, some
