J. Rodgers Cedar Canyon, 5100 ft. San Bernardino Co., Calif. May 24, 1938 We (Dr. Grinnell and I) arrived at this point in Cedar Canyon (Owens Peak quadrangle, U.S.G.S. sheet map) at about 9:30 am, after having stayed the night at Yucca Camp and coming by way of Cima. We made camp 100 feet north of camp already made by Dave Johnson, Elmer Aldrick and Dale Arvey. They have been at this camp since Friday, and were camped nearer Cima the week before. We are on the north side of Cedar Canyon, about 1/4 mile from the floor of the canyon. Our tent is situated so that we have shade since about 12:30 and will have it the rest of the afternoon. The wash here is about 280 feet across, has a flat floor of fine gravel. It is thickly covered with a brush that looks much like Genethus curvatus. The west slope has a good stand of pinto pine and juniper, a few Joshua trees, and some Yucca baccata? (low, blue-green, wavy-edged; leaves 18 inches to 2½ feet long). Before lunch, Arvey and I walked up the draw, circled east and south about and back up the draw to camp; an approximate circle having a diameter of about 1/2 mile. About the camp and up the draw onto its floor we saw three or four Cnemidophorus. About 3 miles up, where a little free water runs over the rocks, Arvey shot a Tanager. About 3/4 mile up the draw, we climbed
