Long Beach, Cali., July 8/09
Foggy morning, clearing up by 10:30. Nellie and I took 9:30 train to East San Pedro on Salt Lake Road. There we rented a boat from Paul La Marr's boathouse and rowed to Deadman's Island. Collected limpets, marine snails of several species, one Bulla etc. on beach then collected fossils on east end of island. West end shows Miocene? conglomerate at base. Found no fossils. Above is a sandstone, probably lower San Pedro Pleistocene, with few fossils, of which we collected none. Above this is the upper San Pedro with several horizons filled with fine fossils. We collected several thousand. They were weathered out so that we could obtain fine specimens with but little work, especially under on((e)) ledge.
