Aug.22 Lower Corvinton Plate,5000ft,Quinice Co., Calif.
bowl in the hills, with a fairly large wash in
the bottom, sloping at first (thru Lower Corvinton
Plate) S.E., then turning and flowing N.N.E. out of
the plate. It soon enters a rather narrow,
steep-walled canyon below the windmill which
marks Corvinton Well (dry). Desert Willow and juniper
in the wash, Pinyon tree and Joshua Tree (widely
scattered) seeds on the slopes are the dominant
plants noted. Made Camp about 500 yds up the wash
from Corvinton Well. Camp roughly established by about
5 P.M. Walked, with Bailey & Harry Russell, down the
wash to the point where it enters the steep-walled
canyon, returning to camp for supper at 6:00 P.M. Saw
Morning Dove, Empeionex (?) and saw one Dolphin-cher (?),
as well as about 7 Utras. Collected one small immature
Utra stansburiana and one adult. Saw but missed,
one Kentuckia vigilis under bark of a dead, fallen
Joshua Tree; it ran into a hole in the base of an
adjacent, living Joshua Tree. After supper saw
several bats, probably Myotis (?) Temp. 6" above
