Stone 1941 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
