Tle ten years in the west, however, included WilfredOsgood's high- school career, a year of school teaching in Arizona, and his college years at the University of the Pacific and at Stanford; they could not fail to leave their stamp on his character, and Californian influences clearly governed the direction of his career.
WilfredOsgood and Edmund Heller were associated in the field in 1900 in faunal studies on the Queen Charlotte Islands and in the Cook Inlet region of Alaska.
