W. slope Beaverdam Mts, 3800 ft., Washington co., Utah
July 21
of 3175 ft. Soil was rocky and creosote and blackbrush, very dry,
dominated here. We drove back towards
Mt. 91 and stopped at 3300 ft, in a

We set in 2 places, at each end of

24 Perognathus penicillatus, 4 Oxyrhytus

at site 2 we caught 3 O. microps,
16 P. penicillatus, 6 Meatonoma lepida,
