May 27 Left Tucson at 7 A.M. & reached Auricle at 3 P.M. About 35 miles.

The road follows around the Santa Catalina Mts., over the foot hills & rises some 2000 feet to the ranch at Auricle. Live oaks are abundant all around & for 2 miles below Auricle. No pines until away above.

Saw some new things along the road. Shot a Callipepla squamata. Saw 2 S. grammurus & some Tamias harrisi.

Cleaned gun & loaded shells & copied catalogues till late. Bargained for a pack mule to go to the top of the Santa Catalina Mts. tomorrow - 35 miles.
