Brode 1934 July 10 cont. 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.
