9 Cymopterus almost past flowering; got a good photograph of one with both flowers and forming pods. May 10 Went in the afternoon to collect and press flowers on the north slope of eroded buttes leading eastward from Dome Rock, adjoining the Monument grounds. Took several of each kind encountered. I am gradually forming a collection to be sent, for verifying identifications or correcting them, to the National Herbarium in Washington, to be retained there. May 20 Clear, windy, warmish. With Eunice Mauer to southern Sioux county (five miles north of Mitchell); while she pursued her duties in getting data at a near-by farm, I enjoyed over two hours along the rough edge of the plains level, where the country drops to a tillable area. Found a nice variety of flowers: Pentstemon, two species; Astragalus, three species; Allium; Psoralea. In the evening I showed, to a family-and-neighborhood group at the McCosh home in Gering, about 200 of my slides. May 22 Eunice sent me word this morning that she would pick me up at 5 p m and we would run out somewhere for a stroll in the open. I went to Scottsbluff at 2 p m, bought four square yards of builders' "deadening felt" which serves so perfectly for pressing flowers, had lunch at the Eagle Café - and then came one of the funny weather freaks of this country.
