Apr. 14 En route from Kerrville to San Antonio, Texas - I left
Kerrville at 1:30 and drove via Boerne to San Antonio.
The Edwards Plateau vegetation: juniper, Quercus texana,
livocak prevails east or S E of Leon Springs nearly to
San Antonio; junipers are intermingled there.
I left San Antonio at 5:45 pm and drove to Austin
where I put up for the night.
Apr. 15 Onion Creek, 2 mi. S Delvalle, Travis Co., Texas - Gray over-
cast; calm. I worked along this creek with its tall
willows and cottonwoods, 8:45 - 10:10 a.m. - See acc't
for Pausa _______________ . I drove E to a point
8 mi. E, 3 1/2 mi. S Delvalle IN Bastrop Co., Texas - I had
visited this locality on Apr. 8, accompanying Mr. Edward
Kincaid of Austin. In this area of mesquite and
cedar elm - mesquite "woodland" I found Pausa
bicolor nesting and a ? P. allicristatus "hybrid"
(see bicolor acc't) I drove E at 11:45 to Bastrop.
Colorado River at Bastrop, ___, Bastrop Co., Texas
I spent the hour from 2:00 - 3:00 pm hunting along
the river on the property of Mr. Long, who lives at the
E edge of Bastrop. I collected one ? mouse. I also took
a frog (# 555) from gravelly edge of a pool along a tributary
brook and a Cnemidophorus (# 556). The latter seemed to
as a refuge
be one of three individuals which used a brush pile at
the edge of the pool and the base of a steep smooth
sandstone bank.
I left Bastrop after 3:00, noting post oak woodland
of uplands extending along Hwy. 70. 12 miles W Bastrop.
