[[underlined]] May 31 [[/underlined]]  Got an early start & made the last 32 miles to Canyon by 5 P.M.  Over the same level, smooth, flat topped prairie.  Except for a few fields of Yucca glauca there is nothing but grass & low plants.  A few new species of Astrogalus were met with.

The prairie rises gradually.  At camp the aneroid read 3800, on highest part of prairie - 4 mi. S. of Canyon 4050, in creek valley near Canyon 3950, & at the town 4000.  At Amarillo it read 4100.
Took train at Canyon at 8:57 & made the trip to Amarillo after dark.

Stopped at Amarillo House.
