Caught Thomomys high up & low down. Collected a lot of birds & a few plants. The country is dry. A few springs in hills & open water places in valley are drinking places for birds & mammals. The mountains are about 1500 to 2000 feet high, granite with rounded peaks & boulders & ledges projecting. They are steep, eroded ridges with gravelly soil covered with chaparral of Adenostima, scrub oak, Manzanita, Erriogonum, Rhus & other bushes growing in a tangle. The west slopes are more brushy than the east. The valleys are mostly cultivated in grain & fruit which usually do well without irrigation but for 3 years have been too dry for good crops. There is very little irrigation Wheat, oaks barley, corn & alfalfa are the main crops. Oranges, lemons, limes, grapefruit, tangarines, olives, figs, peaches, apricots,
Transcription Notes:
Can't find a plant named Adevastrina or variations thereof ...
Think it might be Adenostima possibly a misspelling of Adenostoma.
