Our hunters brought us ten deer, and we shot two out of a herd of buffalo that came to water at Sulphur Spring.

There is a species of gooseberry, growing abundantly among the rocks on the sides of the cliffs.

It is now ripe, of a pale red color, about the size of the common gooseberry, and like it is an ovate pericarp of soft pulp enveloping a number of small whitish seeds, and consisting of a yellowish, slimy, mucilaginous substance, with a sweet taste; the surface of the berry is covered glutinous, adhesive matter, and its fruit, though ripe, retains its withered corolla.

The shrub itself seldom rises more than two feet high, is much branched, and has no thorns.

The leaves resemble those of the common gooseberry, except in being smaller, and the berry is supported by separate peduncles or foot-stalks half an inch long.
