explore as soon as the snow began to melt but found nothing to show 
that prairie dogs were found there* Saw plenty of signs of a large 
Djpodomys and some mice. As the storm continued I concluded to return 
here when I found the storm had been general though not so severe here 
as farther north. It snowed and rained for several days. As soon as 
the weather permitted I began work again here and got additional speci- 
mens of the large and small Perognathus. Hoot ana, and Perodjpus « I got 
a very bad cold on the trip and did not feel very well for same days.

Went over across the river this afternoon and went through the Molino

November 25 » Went up to Gal lego November 18 and stayed until the 
morning of the 22nd. Searched for prairie dogs without result. Don*t 
believe any are found there j the natives say none are found nearer than 
Casas Grandes. I trapped mostly for Qovchorayg of which I only got one 
specimen. I set mouse traps baited with meat in all sorts of places 
and traps were untouched except by some large black bugs which gnawed 
off sane of the bait and sprung some of the traps. Gal lego stands on 
a plain gently rolling and covered with fine growth of what Americans 
call gramona grass. Hills covered with scattering growths of timber 
which natives said were oak and pine surround the station in the distance 
One day while there, two men from Juarez, a little settlement said to 
be six miles north of Casas Grandes, came in for frate (slc)j one of 
them, M. or B.J .Johnson, living in Juarez, said it was about 120 miles 
to Casas Grandes. He invited me to look him up if I ever went out that 
way. The men were probably Mormons . A mail stag© leaves Gal lego twice 
a week for Casas Grandes.
