[[underlined]] To Springerville 

Sept. 16 [[/underlined]]. Had traps to bring in and a lot of skins to make up before starting, so did not get off till 9:30. Got a skunk & the woods cottontail and two Neotomas of the [[underlined]] pinetown [[/underlined]] group.

Came back over the same old road to Springerville and camped in town to ship specimens.

[[underlined]] Sept. 17 [[/underlined]], Got a late start (10:30) and came down the St. Johns Road as far as Las Tusas, (23 miles) and camped by the Little Colorado at about 6000 feet. Came all the way over lava fields and among old craters. Good gramma grass and lots of big herds of sheep. There are many sinks & basins and reservoirs full of water but no small streams. The Little Colorado runs in a deep lava canyon until it opens out at Walnut Grove and still more at Las Tucas where the road goes down into the river valley to the sandstone levels below the lava cap.
