Engler 1936 Sulphur, 4042 ft., Humboldt Co., Nev. July 26 (cont.) The country throughout the trip was barren except for the usual low bushes. No trees were seen & very few rock ledges could be seen along the way. Both Juno & Venado are situated on the Dry flat labeled. Owner of hotel in which we are staying came in this morning & among other things told us that the Kit Fox was quite common around Sulphur & would often be caught in traps set for Coyotes, thus being a nuisance.
