[[underlined]] Nov- 10. [[/underlined]]  A very cold morning, Ice formed an inch thick over water-
Clear & warm after the sun got well up -
Stuffed 8 skins that I got at Silver Creek-
Set traps most of day--got out 72, Caught 4 big, pale Thomomys & 6 Arvicola with small feet - Shot a Tamias pictus & saw 2 more - Packed a box of small skins in evening. Did not go far from camp -
Saw no birds except Otocaris-
Are camped in sagebrush close to the meadow - The characteristic plants about us are Atriplix confertifolia, Artemesia tridentata, Telradimea canescens, Erotia lanata. There are some new to me-
There is Juniper & Pinus monophylla on the Mts. 

[[underlined]] Nov. 11 [[/underlined]]  Caught a Thomomys, 3 Dipodops an Onychomys, 4 Tamias pictus, a Hesperomys sonoriensis.
Measured & catalogued 20 mammals & skinned 10 of them - then packed 2 boxes of skins & wrote a letter & went to town to mail them & see if any mail had come in. 
The mail was not distributed till after dark & so I got back late. 
A very cold morning, pleasant day,
Did not have time to go to traps again.
