First Retake and 

 Description 



June 25, 1959. W.S.P., 

 E-4-1959. 



Dr. Shantz had taken a 

 series of about ten pic- 

 tures in this area within a 

 distance of about fifty 

 feet. The area is a dry 

 water course with some 

 watering holes for cattle. 

 The grasses here are 

 Stipa comata and 

 Bouteloua gracilis with 

 some Andropogon sco- 

 parius. The shrubs are 

 mainly Shepherdia 

 canadensis and 

 Symphoricarpos spp. In 

 the new picture the tree 

 growth has increased. 

 The large tree in the 

 center is Fraxinus spp., 

 and the shrubs are the 

 same as the original 

 picture except for Prunus 

 spp. which Dr. Shantz 

 does not mention. The 

 Microwave Station was in 

 the middle distance (from 

 Phillips 1963, p. 79).
