[[blank page]] [[end page]] [[start page]] gauge. It is rounded & mainly timbered with nut pine around the base, then a belt of yellow pine & high up on the N.E. side a considerable area of Aspen & spruces. This is the largest of half a dozen similar craters in this part of the valley. Olla Peak just west of the Rio Grande is very similar & black to the base with timber, apparently from a distance both nut pine & yellow pine. In San Louis Valley we saw 4 or 5 Lepus campestris but no texianus & no one I could find had seen a black tailed jack rabbit. One ranchman told me of a few antelope in the valley yet, but says they are scarce. Cynomys gunnisonii is common. Reached Tres Piedras at 2 & started for Taos at 1 P.M. arriving at 7 P.M. The valley is very dry and barren. No rain, no grass, no crops, very little water in Rio Grande or Hondo.
