Wednesday June 6. To Culbertson
We left Johnson Lake (Wheatland)
In the morning and drove in to
Culbertson, where we put up for
the day. In the afternoon we took
a walk west and south of the
town to make observations. We
saw a good many birds elsewhere
listed.
The Missouri River valley here
is precisely similar to those about
Buffalo, N.Dak., except that the
heavy timber is here mainly
across the river South of
Culbertson, across the Missouri;
The Country is seen to be very
much broken Badland in char-
acter.
I made reports on the Johnson
Lake Country, and attended to
other business.
Wrote a bird report in
Culbertson.
Thursday June 9. Poplar
Left Culbertson on the morning
train and stopped off at Poplar
Anthony going out to Glasgow to
get located for Collecting
For a tramp about Poplar
falling up the Poplar River
for several miles. The Country
along the Missouri obtained in
the valley of the Poplar for
probably 10 miles the semi-
flats being sparsely wooded
and grown up to the usual
undergrowth, while bordering
the valley on each side lie
the slightly rolling Prairies,
grassed and with a little sage-
brush, and many herbaceous
Plants, a number of which
Mr. collected.
Lepidopyrum argenteum has young
fruit.
