[[underlined July 11 [/underlined]] Caught a Thomomys [[blank space]] & Donald got a young Onychomys longipes. Made up specimens & started at 8:30. Found the same kind of country - high open ridges & basins, with scattered brush & small trees of scrub oak, Rhus trilobota & alata? & on hot slopes or basins a few mesquite, Berberis trifoliata, Zizyphus? & one or two Sophora secundiflora bushes.

   Starting with the barometer at 2400 feet it read 2600 on the next high ridge and 2650 at lunch camp at Robinson Ranch, 16 miles east of Rock Springs, 2650 at camp 11 mi. E. of R.S.
   Cactus, mainly a small, plains form of engelmani, Yucca rupicola, & a bunched up form of stricta are abundant. Grass is good but dry.
    Thomomys hills are common on the mellowest soil. One Jack rabbit (L.texans) was seen & numerous cottontails - a few fox & coyote tracks. Shot a bullock oriole near his nest & a Sturnella hoopsi, & brown pipilo, lots of cassins sparrows.
   Camped at rain pools 11 m. E. of Rock Springs.
