"Prof. Gilbert became most popular among the scientists of his State for his discovery of the tar pits, variously known as La Brea Rancho, La Brea Beds, The Death Trap, Fossil Gardens, etc., near Los Angeles. The depth of the deposit is at least twenty feet, packed almost solid with the bones of animals, which were trapped in the stiicky, tarry stuff and have been preserved for ages. Tons of bones have been removed to the Los Angeles Museum; bones of the mastodon, elephant, giant sloth, camel, llama, giant wolf, horse, lion, tiger, dog, and fox. The sabertooth tiger has been excavated in large numbers and still a wonderful store of bones await excavation. It is the most remarkable fossil bed of its kind in the world."¹ Occupation: Minister, Church of the Brethren in 1926 at Los Angeles, Los Angeles Co., CA.¹ Rev. James Z.
