A-1882. Photo Sta. No. 224. Retake of Photo No. 1060 probably taken by Griffiths about 1902. Open grassland has given way to a heavy stand of mesquite. Ground cover appears definitely lighter now, though the composition of the early stand is not known. Now there is a fair stand of mixed perennial grasses such as black and Rothrock gramas, three-awns, and others. (5x7) Sept. 1941. 4" lens.
