[[blank page]] [[end page]] [[start page]] July 22 Caught a Thomomys cluseus & a Spermophilus mollis & a Tamias & 11 Hesperomes. Dutcher got an Onychomys. All together we put up 27 mammal skins & one bird. Reset traps but did not have time to hunt much. Ants are numerous & trouble our traps. We have plenty of good wood, grass is good, & water the best immaginable. " [[Ditto for: July]] 25 Have been sick for 2 days, did not write or do anything else. The boys kept busy collecting & have worked worked up the place pretty thoroughly. Packed up & started for Arco. Found it a settlement on the Big Last R. just below the mts. Bought a few supplies, mailed specimens & got our mail and pushed on up the river & camped 8 miles above town on the east side. Set traps. Mosquitos fearfully thick. " [[Ditto for: July]] 26 Dutcher & Streator & the cook[[strikethrough]] e [[/strikethrough]] hunted all of A.M. Found nothing of account. the hills are dry & lifeless, something seems to have destroyed all of the Woodchucks & most other mammals. The Mosquitos nearl killed the horses & we decided to leave. Came down to Arco & left there at 5 P.M. Reached Little Last R. at 12 P.M. & camped.
