7 6 Stopped for dinner with a bachelor, "Frank" about six miles south of the Dismal. After lunch started on northward. The country becomes much more broken from this point on to the river. The valleys disappear and only "pockets" remain as we rapidly ascended to the highest hills south of the river. Blowouts became much more numerous and much larger, but still yucca is not especially conspicuous altho more abundant than farther south. Prunus melanocarpa , P. Americana formed extensive thicks in this portion - many pockets being almost filled by these species. Abover there often extending to the tops of the hills, occured scattered bushes of Ceanothus Ovatus in bud. The Prunus were in full bloom. P. Besseyi was past its height of aestivation. Troximon cuspidatum was everywhere conspicuous as single plants. Lithospermum angustifolvim was very abundant, sometimes becoming almost gregarious. L. gracilis was also common, but not nearly so abundant as the former species. Both these are much more abundant on south exposures than anywhere else. Senecio is copious on north exposures. Rosa arkansana forms conspicuous societies in the this region.
