(15 miles west of Japonica) at 9 A.M. & followed the ridges ^[[insertion]]west-[[/insertion]] just north of the river until we came out on ^[[insertion]]higher,[[/insertion]] more open, smoother plains country with less timber. Keeping a generally westward course we passed several ranches with windmills & finally made a dry camp on high rolling plains - [[strikethrough]] Camp [[/strikethrough]] came about 20 miles & suppose the distance to Rocksprings to be about 35. Barometer read 2150 at camp in morning, 2300 on the first edge of the more open country & 2450 at our nights camp - corrected readings from Kerrville as base. After leaving the breaks & rough gulches the juniper becomes scarcer, scrub oaks take the predominance & with lots of Rhus trilobota scattered in. Mesquites are common in protected basins & on open south slopes but entirely absent from most of the country. Juglans rupestris is common along the water courses which are all dry at present Struck Amphispiza, [[Puceae ?]] cassini & Sturnella on open country- also Pipilo [[nesolucus?]] -
Transcription Notes:
Puceae is probably Peucaea
