| dc.description.abstract | The journal is Dr. Miller's account of the University of California field expedition into the John Day Basin of Central Oregon in 1899. This expedition, as well as many that followed from that institution, was led by Dr. John C. Merriam. It began a long association of the University of California with that area of Oregon, an association which still continues. Although the events of this journal occurred over seventy years ago, they by no means represent the first investigation of the area, for these beds were already famous when Miller first saw them. Condon had first seen them forty years previously, and such well known paleontologists as Marsh and Cope among many others had collected there. It was not until the work of Merriam and his students from the University of California began that any real understanding of the geology of the area or the sequence of the faunas present was developed. | en_US |
