First Retake and 

 Description 



August 14, 1960. W.S.P., 

 No. 2402. 



This original picture was 

 evidently taken from low 

 road along side of the old 

 road which has been 

 completely dug out as a 

 gravel pit for regrading 

 the road. The original 

 cover as described by Dr. 

 Shantz consisted of Stipa 

 comata, Poa spp.. 

 Koeleria cristata, Opuntia 

 polycantha, and Artemi- 

 sia frigida. These plants 

 are still in evidence, but 

 the grazing is much more 

 intense and the Artemisia 

 is more predominant in 

 the later picture (from 

 Phillips 1963, p. 161).
