[[underlined]] San Angelo [[/underlined]]

[[underlined]] May 18 [[/underlined]] San Angelo is on the open, mesquite plain in the genuinely arid region. There are great stretches of smoothe surfaces with only short grass & little desert plants, but much of the country is covered with a scattered growth of small mesquites. The Concho River has cut a narrow channel in the limestone & has steep clay or rocky banks.

A double line of fine large pecan trees grow along its banks. The conspicuous plants [[strikethrough]] are [[/strikethrough]] beside mesquite & pecan are Cordyba, Lyssium, Acacia ramarians, Mimosa fragrans, Diospiras, Altis, Zyziphys, Schrankia, Yuccas, Apenitia engelivani, O. ----- (dark centered). O. suffruticosa, Echinocactus, Cereus, Wamilaria.

Prairie dogs are numerous and generally distributed. Spermophile holes & Neotoma nests are common but I don't know the species.

There are no Geomys. Badger holes are common & a badger was brought into town alive today.
