Journal W. Ruina 1949 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.
