Brigham to Willville
[[underlined]] July 20 [[/underlined]] Started from camp at 8 A.M. and followed up valley 12 miles to Brigham, killed a Cottontail and saw some Jack Rabbits 
From Brigham turned east and followed Boxalder Creek up through the cañon to the little town of Mantua, then turned to the north and crossed the divide of the range and struck down another creek to Cache Valley and camped out Wellville. Came about 30 miles. The divide was not high and a good road all the way. Near the summit we killed a Tamias minimus and just on the west slope of summit killed 3 S. armatus. Mantua is in a pretty mountain park but sheep have eaten the hills all around bare. We crossed 2 summits with a basin and little lake between. Of 15 Herring Gulls in the lake we killed one and found its stomach full of crickets. 
Along the creeks the principal trees and shrubs are Acer glaberimus, Populus angustifolius Willow, Alnus, Sambucus, Betula occidentala, Cornus, Negundo aceroides, Amelanchies, rose,
Over the the side hills are Junipers, spruce, Cercocarpus, Cowania
