K Dixon 1952 Journal. Feb. 2. Atascosa County to Bastrop, Bastrop Co., Texas. Windy during morning as we prepared to break camps. I spent the period 7:45-8:55 watching bitrice; see species account. Before leaving the area, we talked with Homer W. Phillips and Tom Kennerley, zool. graduate students from University of Texas. They had set 29 live-traps for Resttown the evening before and had caught only 7 animals. They indicated that this winter had been a mild one. We broke camp before 10:00 am. and drove to the junction of hwyys. 346 and 173, about a mile NW Jordan- ton. Here we turned NE on 346, driving toward San Antonio. (On Hwy. 173, 2.5 mi. NW of the junction, I had noted a few post oaks and black-jack oaks along the road). At a point 2.4 miles SW of Potect, Atascosa Co., we noted an area of extensive live oak growth. From 2.8 mi. NE Potect to 3.3, blackjack encountered in an E-W strip bisected by hwy. At 4.5 mi. NE Potcet, blackjack again. At 5.1 mi., Starlidge (E6) seen beside road. Broad westward-extending tongue of [illegible] (and some live) oaks on sandy soil from 5.5 mi NE to 11.5 mi. NE Potect. NE of that strip, few scattered leedwood oaks, then cultivati and mesquite. We drove into San Antonio, bought provisions and had truck serviced, ate lunch and headed E out of San Antonio's. After a brief visit with Mrs. El Eisenhauer at their ranch home near Converse, we proceeded toward Seguin.
