Caught the 6:30 A.M. train for Ketchum which finally left Shoshone at about 7:45. The trip to Bellevue, some 40 miles, took more than three hours. Arrived at the Ennis home in Bellevue in time for lunch.

Mr. Head also recommended that I try to find Mr. Ben L. Evans who lives in Cerey. He is the representative of the sheep men in the Biological Survey and would be able to obtain skulls of many of the larger mammals especially Bear, Fox, and Coyote. After lunch he took me up to Hailey 5 miles north of Bellevue, and there I interviewed Mr. More the forest supervisor.
