A. Feathers. Jan. 11, 1934. 500+ ft., Colorado R., 1/2 mi. S. E. Searchlight, Clark Co., Nevada. 10. (cont.) cat. It had been attracted there by rat carcasses. I shot it in the chest with the 410 ga. It expired very quickly. Breakfast cooked and dishes washed, I then went to shoot bait for my steel traps. I shot two towhees (Pipilo aberti) at the outer edge of the guail brush association, and then con- tinued down an old road which paralleled the river. The various associations at this point were considerably intermixed, due, I think, to the fact that here the river bank is uniformly high (4-6 ft.), and in places two to four hun- dred yards inland the elevation approximates that of the river. At a wash two to three hundred yards from the river, seepage water showed at the surface of the earth. A deep water hole was also found near here, whether formed by human agency or not, I was unable to determine. A flock of perhaps twenty guail (Lophortyx gambeli) were seen to fly from the wash, but I was unable to get a shot at any of them. On following the bed of the wash, I shot a pipit (Anthus pensilvanicus), which had alighted on the baked mud. I returned to camp and worked the rest of the morning and afternoon in extricting the truck from where it was stuck in the sand.
