Description:Excerpt from Mexican Tailless Amphibians in the United States National Museum Upon completion of field work by the Death Valley expedition and the consequent disbanding of the party at Visalia, Tulare County, Calif., the various members scattered to take up other assignments. Doctor Nelson traveled southward through the San Joaquin Valley to the Goldman ranch at Alila (now Earlimart), Calif., where he mentioned to E. A. Goldman's father his intention of obtaining an assistant. The father spoke of his son's interest in natural history and remarked that he was then in Fresno. As a result of this conversation, the senior Goldman went to Fresno and brought Edward back with him to the ranch for Nelson's appraisal. On October 10, 1891, Goldman left his father's ranch as Nelson's personal assistant, the understanding being that he was to be given $30 a month and his board. This was paid by Nelson out of his own salary of $150 a month. They traveled in a buckboard outfit, which was the object of no little curiosity because of two 42-pound bear traps that hung one from each side. For some reason Nelson had chosen the name Scalops for one member of their team, while the other went by the name of Johnny. Nelson and Goldman drove through the southern end of the San Joaquin Valley to a site 8 miles west of Tejon Pass and thence to the head of San Emigdio Canyon. Leaving this camping site they crossed the southern end of the valley, collecting at various localities on their northward trip to San Luis Obispo, Calif. From this place they worked northward to San Simeon and the mountains near by, and in a few days drove southward along the coast, collecting sea birds particularly, to Santa Paula, where, about January 4, 1892, they abandoned the buckboard and field outfit. Orders had been received from Dr. C. Hart Merriam, chief Of the Bureau of Biological Survey, for Nelson to start on what it was anticipated would be a three months' trip to western Mexico. Nelson and Goldman traveled by rail from Santa Paula to San Francisco and sailed on the Pacific mail steamer Acapulco for Manzanillo, Colima, where they landed on January 24, 1892. From the time Of sailing until March 1, 1892, Goldman, who had previously been a personal assistant of Nelson, worked for the experience without pay, and then he received his first official appointment from the Biological Survey, which authorized his employment at $75 a month, out of which he was to pay his board and traveling expenses. Instead of lasting three months, the field trip was extended, until Goldman had passed four years in Mexico, after which he received permission to visit his home.
