W.J. Francis 1964. Journal. June 13. Strawberry Canyon, Alameda County. 1045. Instructed Catherine Pyre in servicing instruments & feeding and watering quail during my absence from Berkeley the next six weeks. Cemented hygothermograph, filled water hole, & spread a carf of grain. July July 26. Strawberry Canyon, Alameda, Calif. 1045 Returned to Behavin Lab. pen after six weeks absence; filled water hole & scattered grain. The aspect of the vegetation has changed, but not too radically; grames are withered & no longer thich any-where. Thistles and hemlock are tall, thistles to 7-8 feet and in bloom; hemlock taller (to 10 feet, but dries out. Bristly ox-tongue and very few elm forles are lush & thriving. All the eucalyptus shrubs have put at much new growth and will require pruning to keep them in the limits of the enclosure. Baccharis are well established and dominating their immediate areas. Mouse holes in the ground are very numerous -
