This morning I found an Antrozous pallidus Pallid Bat which had become tangled in the lower edge of the net and drowned. I spent the morning preparing specimens. We left the ranch about noon and headed northward in Reveille Valley along the eastern side of the Kawich Range until we came to Eden Ranch, which is about 35 miles north of the Seven Corners (Five Points) Ranch.
This ranch is at the head of Eden Canyon and has a few deciduous trees around it.
(Up through Reveille Valley I saw many Horned larks and Desert Sparrows. Reveille Valley floor is covered with Artemisia and a small shrubby Compositae (Autigreyia) while Pactus Flat is covered mainly with Atriplex.)
We drove up Eden Canyon to a gold mine at about 2000'. The canyon floor is covered with willow and there is water running intermittently through it. The road to the mine winds through Pinus-Juniper woodland, dense in places, and some Cercocarpus. Near the mine a dense pimon woodland goes up to about 8300,
