K Dixon 1951 Journal Mar 13 9 mi. NW Bryan in Robertson Co., Texas — where Wood set some traps — in area 9:30 — 11:30 a.m. The areas I worked in were chiefly post oak woodland with understory of yaupon (Ilex sp.), hawthorn, wild rose(?), other deciduous shrubs. Both cottontails and jackrabbit noted. Wood said that the raccoon was the most common furbearer with Striped Skunk, Gray Fox and Ring-tailed Fox present in some numbers. He did not mention opossum but stated that this species led the list of furbearers in total sales at 15 cents per hide. Raccoon was worth 55 cents and Bassariacus $3.00 during the season just closed. Grazing was permitted on this area, a privately owned ranch. Birds noted: Turkey Vulture Crow Carolina Chickadee (see species acc't) Tufted Titmouse " " " (Carolina Wren 1 taken) Mockingbird Cardinal (common) Brown Thrasher (Spotted) Towhee Red-eyed Myrtle Warbler White-throated Sparrow (common) Ruby-crowned Kinglet Slate-colored Junco (1 seen) Wood stated that he believed that the climax in the uplands of this area was post oak forest with scattered underbrush and considerable grass. He thought the denser growth of the evergreen yaupon (Ilex) was the result of disturbance. 17.
