Mch. on the west side of river.

Camped where I saw the first flowers of Opuntia basilaris, great crimson beauties. These were not nearly in blossom at Mohave, Ft. The flowers seem to be affected by lat. & the south side of mountains. 

A clear, windy day, wind blowing down river & follows the turns of cañon.

Probably came 25 miles. Shot bats in evening & killed one little kind new to me. They fly so fast I could not hit any more. Saw probably 6 or 8. fly along river & around rocks.
