. Bulletin. Natural history; Science. he now holds at Harvard University. Quinn, who had become Chief Preparator in our fossil-fixery, left in 1946 to continue his formal studies and is now Professor and Chairman of the Department of Geology at the University of Arkansas. It was probably a good thing that Patterson and Quinn worked under the same roof; every observation that one of them made on a fossil was vigorously denied by the other. If wits are sharpened by friction, two universities can be grateful to the Museum for two sharp-witted professors. Pat and Quinn were often in the field together starting with the 1931 season, when they tagged along as Riggs's assistants to Quinn's home territory in Nebraska. Collecting went on for five summer weeks, well beyond the budgeted time. In the Museum's annual report the Director acknowledged that "about one-third of the expense of the expedition was contributed by Messrs. Riggs and Patterson." It is almost a tradition in the Department to outlast field funds. It is certainly a tradition to extend a field trip (formerly called an "expedition") as long as possible. Patterson's field trips developed something of an elaborate structure. Even before coming to the Museum Pat had collected butterflies and moths; a net was requisite for him. Sitting in his tent at night with a gasoline lamp while he wrote up his field notes, he was surrounded by a cloud of flying specimens drawn by the light. His typical field camp included a tent or two, a table or two, the butterfly net, a gasoline stove, and a trunkful of essentials, with particular emphasis on the pancake griddle. The only allowable pancakes in his camp were those prepared by Pat himself, mixed to a special formula and cooked with a special panache. If Sharat Roy was a perfectionist with curry, Bryan Patterson would admit no contest with pancakes. But even the curries could not remain unchallenged. Pal entered the field, and over the years his curries bec
