[[underlined]] Chusca Mts.  

Oct. 1 [[/underlined]]. Remained at camp all day making up specimens and hunting & setting traps. Went to top of high mesa point just north of Choiska Peak and got a good view of the country, colored in zone map and picked out trail to high mesa to north.
 
Found Aspens and Juniperus communus and Lepergyraea canadensis on north slope and heard Scirus mogollonensis, all at about 8500 feet, a strong trace of [[underlined]] Canadian Zone. [[/underlined]] 

Most of the mountains are Transition zone, open yellow pine timber with Gambels oak on rough slopes. 

Upper Sonoran nut pines, Juniperus scopulorum & monosperma & Cercocarpus parvifolius came up on ^ [[insertion]] SW. [[/insertion]] steep rocky slopes to above 8000 in places. 

The Navajos have left the mts. with their sheep but recently. There is little grass left. Hogans are seen everywhere within reach of water. Some Sienegos are fenced in for water and horse feed, but corralls are found on all sides for the sheep. and usually a summer camp, or Hogan by each corrall.
