22 July Arizona, Cochise Co., Huachuca Mts, Carr Canyon
under such objects nothing except C.
triseriatus which was seen under rock
first. Another taken in open. Hampro-
peltis pyromelana found by Ernest
crawling about in rocks. S. jarrovi
taken at all elevations on trail as
well as below on road up, on
logs and rocks. Weather during entire
hike heavily overcast and cool. On
reaching head of Miller Canyon still
3 miles from peak returned to car
since weather threatening and peak
completely enshrouded by clouds.
Returned to Fort. After dark checked
pool in Fry where garter snakes taken
yesterday but found nothing of interest
except for collecting few more of meta-
morphosing toads. Returning to
house or post about 20 30 picked
up S. hammondii adults (2) on road
into Fort gate and 1 large B. woodhousii.
Hospitality of Mr. Merritt has been very
generous and pleasant, the information
though limited, useful. Interest in
our party chiefly because he was formerly
Controller of U.C. Mr. Morrow of Fish
and Game (?) on Fort knows Huachucas well.
