[[left page blank]] [[start page]] Dec.13. A not very cold night & warm day. Windy & rainy in evening. Went from 7 miles to Richfield to within 6 miles of Marysville. Followed the [[Severe?]] valley, among farms. Sage brush, grease brush, & a little, spiny salt bush predominate. Caught 2 Dipodomys & 2 Ochetodons, & a Hesperomys in traps set over night. Saw a small Spermophile but lost it. Saw a - probably - Lagopus - little chief Hare run under a rock near Richfield. Dipodomys holes are very numerous, much used, & [[underline]] all open [[/underlined]]. Took a few notes. Had to camp on mountains without water or grass. Wrote on report in evening. Traveled all day through dry, sagebrush valley between not very high but rough & rocky mountains, covered with scrub cedar & Pinus edulis,
