Casa Grande Station[[/underlined]] Caught 5 [[underlined]]Dipodomys deserti[[/underlined]] & 2[[underlined]] [[simeolus?]] [[/underlined]] & a [[underlined]] Perognathus [[/underlined]] Got a team and drove S.E. about 5 miles to the nearest range of mts. to see if there was any trace of Upper Sonoran or of Dipodomys spectabilis but found neither. A forest of giant cactus encircles the base of the mts. & a few reach to the tops, even on north slopes, while Foguiera & Polaverda go up all over the mts. Opuntia spinosa & [[vernidas?]] & Echinocactus wislizeni are also abundant with the giant cactus,as are Foguiera. There seems to be no trace of Upper Sonoran in these desert ranges, but they are all low. I should expect it in the Babiquivero Mts., to the south. The giant cactus is in flower & full of green fruit & nest holes of the Gila Woodpecker. A heavy shower of rain & hail flooded the roads but missed us.
Transcription Notes:
Babiquivero should be Baboquivari but left as written--thomasc
