[[underlined]] Cedar Point ranch [[/underlined]] to base of [[underlined]] Mt. Capitan. [[/underlined]]

[[underlined]] June 13 [[/underlined]], Caught a dipodomys spectabitus, some Perodipus & a Perognathus. Continued up the gulch about 20 miles to the little Mexican ranches at the base of the mountain & camped at the old ranch & spring called Los Palos. Barometer read [[strikethrough]] 4 [[/strikethrough]] 3900 at Roswell & 6600 at camp
Entered the Juniper & Piñon forest about 3 or 4 miles below camp and found some Pinus ponderosa & live oaks & chestnut oaks.

Dipodomys spectabilus came up to edge of Juniper forest – Spermophilus grammurus begin at the Junipers & all over around camp.

The junction of Upper & Lower sonoran zones is not well defined but I can only place it at the [[strikethrough]] junction of [[/strikethrough]] lower edge of Junipers & upper edge of Mesquites, or at about 6000 feet on the open east slope.  This is also the upper edge of D. spectobilus

Transcription Notes:
dipodomys spectabitus/spectobilus = D. spectabilis Couldn't find anything like Spermophilus gramurus, I might be really misinterpreting that word. I think Vernon has written "Spermophilus grammurus". Although I'm unsure of the current name of species to which he is referring. -@siobhanleachman
