right in thickets of dead brush and grapes
and along a marginal willow thicket about
the bases of the trunks. Only one immature
male Peromyscus maniculatus (and one
juvinal Brown Towhee, apparently just out of
the nest) was caught.
June 26.
Hunted on the flat during the earlier part
of the morning. In addition to comments
made earlier regarding the general
habitat here, I would mention that
Lambucus as a large shrub or small tree
together with scattered thickets of Rosa and
Rhus diversiloba and trilobata occur on
the higher areas between and among
the cottonwood and willow groves. Further-
more, the presence at least one incense
cedar and one yellow pine on the western
part of this flat would indicate that
at least there, the flat was originally
covered with a forest comparable in
character to that on the slope to the north.
Later I moved to the south-facing
slope west of camp, observing and
collecting plants more than hunting.
I followed a cattle trail up one of the
draws, perhaps 305 feet, into the area
where scattered chaparral patches occur
