Dec. 18. Mercury below zero (7) in morning.

Reached the divide by a climb of 5 miles & then descended rapidly along Kanab creek, most of the way through rocky cañons between high pine covered mountains.

Some fine scenery & good trout brook. Snow about 6 inches deep at top of divide - about 9000 ft.-, gradually diminishing with the descent, only about 2 inches at Glendale where we camped for night.

A few specimens taken along road. Tracks of Weasels, cats, Lepus sylvaticus & some large Rabbit seen.

Some birds new to me seen.

The country passed through would be an excellent field for collecting in warm weather but is now froze up.

Crossed several creeks on the ice. 

Made about 25 miles. roads rough hilly & on south slope muddy.

Scrub oak on the divide & down the south side.
