Spring, 7200 ft., Nye Co., Nevada.

After lunch we packed camp, and moved, getting
started a little after three o'clock. Went north to
Yanick Valley and turned east opposite Belled
Peak. Camped for the night in foothills.
Sept. 29, 1931
Found out that we were on the wrong road this
a.m. and arrived at a place called Cliff
Spring, 7000 ft., Belted Range, Nye Co., Nev.
Shot a Northern Flicker on rocks just
above the spring. Saw it as it came thru
the few Pinyon Pines that were growing
about.
Left here and worked north over the
west side of Belled Peak until we
struck the correct road leading across
Emigrant Valley, Ten Pakute Mtn.
Range to Desert Valley.
About 2:50 P.M. as we were driving
thru Desert Valley a pair of Golden
Eagles flew up from the side of the
road, going over to the spot from
which they rode we found the re-
main of a Desert Jack rabbit. All
but the hind end had been eaten.
The skull was broken with the brains
eaten out, the skeleton dis-articulated.
We continued on thru Pakramagat
