apparently was the attraction in the
immediate vicinity. The "horns" of this
animal seem to be sharper than
those of blainvillii to the touch.
Leaving Clovis in late afternoon with
overcast weather began to notice
Terrapene mostly DOR, quite commonly.
These occurred from W. outskirts of
Clovis to Melrose. One h OR taken.
In very late afternoon picked up one
each of S. hammondii (small) and
B. insidior (small) in vicinity of Red
Lake just E of the hande. Returning
to spot after dark picked up series
of 17 hammondii on road and
shoulder and one adult S. boulifrons
in field (short-grass prairie) next
to road. S. hammondii appeared
much more abundant on road
than in adjacent field. Had rained
recently. This locality 1 mi. E of the
hande bid in other notes listed as
9 mi. E Ft. Summer. Camped for
night at edge of river at Ft. Summer.
