burrows 6 to 10 feet. Visited them again
but without results just before supper.
Found an Ammospermophilus "parboiled"
in a trap left out yesterday.
July 11 Morning day - packed up after putting
up a few gophers - proceeded to
Schurz. From Schurz we went south
along the west side of Walker Lake
to Cottonwood Canyon and up this canyon.
on the way up this steep grade a
number of lizards were seen, including
collared lizard, whiptails, and fence
lizards. At a rock in Cottonwood Canyon
5100 ft., Mineral Co., Nevada I caught
a Sceloporus occidentalis. We made
camp beyond the headwaters of this
canyon near an abandoned placer
mine in Japon Canyon, 8900 ft., Mt. Grant,
Mineral Co., Nevada. After the camp
had been set up, Hall took me with
him up Mt. Grant to the 10,000 ft. level.
We saw a number of horned larks,
Sparrows and junco's as well as a
large bird of prey being harassed by
a small bird. We set traps at the
end of the auto road on SW slope Mt. Grant,
10000 ft., Mineral Co., Nevada and returned to camp.
