[[underline]] Pan-handle, Texas [[/underline]]

Did not get back to Washburn till 7 P.M.  Then packed up and left on the 11 P.M. train for Pan Handle, about 15 miles north of Washburn.

[[underline]] Aug.25 [[/underline]]  Found myself in the little town of Pan-handle, still on the Staked Plains and the same kind of country as at Washburn.  Got my trunk to hotel and put up some specimens brought along   Wrote up my notes to date.  In P.M. tramped over the prairie but found nothing new.
Mr. Edward Shy, a very well informed man with whom I stopped gave me the skin of a Lynx besides much very good information about the country & animals.
Rained in evening.  Am ready for an early start in the morning for Canadian. 
The altitude of Panhandle is 3660 feet.  Water is reached at from 300 to 400 feet.
There is a small colony of Cyromys near town.
