habitat
of the two types is fairly extensive because
of the general interspersion.
June 13. This morning I left camp toward the north-
wester along the road to Beegum, continuing for
about 1/2 mile to the top of a ridge separating
the drainage system of our camping locality
from that of Beegum proper. From the
Beegum road on the top of this bridge there

is a road continuing to the south over
the ridge to the north of our camp and into
the next valley. I hunted along this
road, spending most of my time, however,
near the top of the ridge in Adenostoma
around higher chaparral, and in a
black oak grove.
The south slope, in contrast with
the north slope (actually southwest vs.
northeast), is vegetated with a greater
variety of associational types. The lower
part of the slope is covered with blue oak-
digger firs - manzanita as is the valley

a high, dense chaparral such as is
absent on the north slope, consisting of
manzanita, Arceosarpus belutoides, Enceliptegon
Rhus diversifolia
Scrub oak, and several other species as yet
unidentified. Mixed in also along the edge
