july 28. 3½ mi. E & 1 mi. S grapevine Pk, 6700 ft, Nye Co, Nev.
at Stonewall Mt, D. Johnson & I each shot one
Cutamissus paramamitinus. Stonewall Mt.
is steep and rocky sloped with large projecting
rocks. The vegetation consists of a moderately
thick stand of Pinus monophylla & Artemisia
t Tridentata, with some Purshia & Ephedra
and less Rikes. The most noticeable birds
were Binyon jay, White-throated Swift,
Sinnets, and on the lower slopes Shrikes,
Sage Sparrow, Desert Sparrow. There were
tracks & feces of coyotes, sheep & deer, and feces
of coyotes horses or burrowes.
july 29 We reached camp early in the evening and
W. Dalquist and I looked for deer. We saw fresh
tracks and feces but no deer.
july 29 We are camped in a small canyon running
in a general E & W direction. The vegetation
consists of a moderately thick to a scattered growth
of Pinus monophylla, Purshia glandulosa and
Artemisia tridentata, interspaced with
herbaceous plants and grass. There are also
a few Rikes plants. The soil is rocky with large
rock outcrops. The water supply is apparently derived
from precipitation entirely. There is a spring about
1/4 mi. to the W on the other side of the slope.
W. Johnson & W. Dalquist shot at a deer this
morning. I hunted till noon but did not see any
