21 mi. W + 2mi. N Lovelock, 4000 ft.,
Pershing Co., Nev.
July 28,
to reach this lake by a road from Vernon,
but didn't succeed - road observed &
surface of ground too sandy. We are
now camped about 1/2 mi. E of the
white, adobe part of the dry lake-
east side of the lake. Sand dunes
extend at least a mile (can't see
farther!) on each side of camp. These
dunes are not over 1/4 mi. in width and
are met on the west side by the adobe
areas and on the east by dark gravelled
ground - which extends, in a gradual
rise, to the mountains eastward.
Collected 3 Crotaphytus along the sand
dunes: Shot 2 more Crepidophorus from
under bushes (as, indeed, all were - at
1 P.M.) growing on rocky ground, however
only 1 could be saved.
July 29
Shot 3 Crepidophorus and 4 Crotaphytus
on the sand dunes. All were driven out
from under the shade of a bushes.
