Jan. 8, 1934.
500 + ft., Colorado R., 14 mi. S. E. Searchlight,
Clark Co., Nevada.
Dr. Seth B. Benson, D. M. Hatfield,
H. S. Fitch and I left Berkeley Jan. 6, to
cover the region included as adjacent to
the lower Colorado River north of Needles,
Calif. and south of Brown's Ferry, in a
collecting survey of the birds and mammals
of the region, for the Museum of Vertebrate
Zoology, of the University of California.
The first day's drive was uneventful,
and the night was spent on the desert
a few miles north of Moabie, Calif.
The temperature was below 32° during
the night.
Jan. 7 we proceeded to Ludlow,
Calif., where a flat tire on our truck
cased a few hours' delay. A new tire
was purchased and we continued to
near Danby, where a tire blowout
gave more trouble. Needles, Calif., was
reached late that evening, and the
night was spent near there.
