Hendrickson 1950 Journal Sept. 6 Stubby Spring, 4750-4500 ft., Riverside Co., Calif. Rain which continued, fluctuating somewhat in intensity, until about 3:00 P.M. At about 11:00 A.M., walked to Stubby Spring, 4500 ft. The water emerges from an E-facing slope as a seep. It is collected in a small (18" x 36") concrete trough at the bottom of the seep, and in a large (18' diam.) masonry tank about 40 ft. down canyon from the above trough. The tank is about 4' deep; at the base of the down-canyon side of the tank are two low concrete troughs filled by overflow from the tanks. At this time the pipe carrying water to the tank has an estimated flow of about 2 gts./min. The canyon bottom around the trough has a rather dense growth of Chrysothamnus. Below the tank is an area about 200 sq. ft. of sedge (?) and stubble about 2" high. Above the seep, on the hillside is a single large willow, with several smaller shrubby trees. Above this, or a somewhat more gentle slope than much of the rest of the hillside, is another area of Chryso- thamnus. I picked a nearly complete bat skeleton (really a rain-wetted mummy)
