Cuti, Bloom 1973 Journal Huntoon Valley, Mineral Co., Nev. watermelon sized rocks. Every 50 yds we would halt to clear the road. At length we entered a tree covered valley, but continued through this up a mountain slope, here more rocky than sandy, finally we descended a wash into the large, Huntoon Valley. We drove by an abandoned cabin to the sand dunes at the south end of the valley. Here we started for holes, finding few; we returned to the canyons and made camp. Holes were plentiful but small. The night was clear but cold, at freezing. We found a small gopher snake at dusk. I was not familiar with the vegetation of the area, save to say that much of it consisted of a most disagreeable bush with many sharp, small thorn hearts. Oct. 2 Our catch was as follows: 2 Micrapodops pallidus, 11 Perognathus longimembris, one perognatus, 1 perognathus sp., 4 D. mexicanus, and 11 D. ordii.
