[[left page blank]] [[end page]] [[start page]] [[underlined]] Llano Estacado [[/underlined]] [[underlined]] May 28 [[/underlined]] Started at 7:30 & continued over the same kind of country all day to Lubbock. The barometer read 3300 at camp in morning 3100 at [[?Taloba]] Lake (4 miles from Camp) and 3300 again on the prairie a mile beyond. Then gradually rising to 3500 at Lubbock. All smooth topped prairie with short mesquites & Acacias scattered over most of it. Grass short & dry, has hardly started since the ove rain. Almost all of the shrubs & conspicuous plants of the lower level have dissapeared and a few northern species - Guiterrezia ? & & others have appeared. We are evidently on the edge of Upper & Lower Sonoran zones all the way with a [[?mture]] of both. Saw a few Antelope, several coyotes killed & spermophilus pallidus, prairie dogs are continuous to 15 miles west of the lake, then only in scattered colonies the rest of the way. Jack rabbits & cottontails common. No neotomas. Lubbock is a town of a dozen houses on bare prairie.
