[[left page blank]] [[end page]] [[start page]] [[underlined]] Tules Lake [[/underlined]] [[underlined]] July 7. [[/underlined]] Left Carr's ranch & moved camp to the lower ranch opposite the big island on east side of lake. In afternoon went out on island and rode around the edges, and down to a little ranch on south end. Got a boat & went out to some rocky islands where pelicans & cormorants were breeding. There are numerous pictographs on the rocks along shore of the island. The island is mostly of stratified volcanic rock, partly of ash & cinder layers & partly of a porous lava. There is much broken pumice & obsidian sand on the beach. The plants of the island are mainly Sonoran & it is said to be the only part of the valley where stock will winter without feeding. It is covered with good grasses among which is much Oryzopsis membranacea. [[underlined]] July 8 [[/underlined]] Caught a few mammals. Went onto island again & photographed the pictographs. Made up skins & set more traps.
