His CALIFORNIA FISH AND GAME total of 1,600 acres involved is in bare, active dunes. The balance of the area is divided among lakes, marsh, eucalyptus grove, farm land, and brush land. The bare dunes, lakes, and marsh are totally unsuited to quail. During the nesting season some few pairs are to be found in the eucalpytus grove and in the farming ground if the season's crop affords adequate cover. Generally speaking however, quail are confined to about 450 acres of brush land, or rather to the parts of the brush land which are under intensive management. The actual observed range of fall coveys was 286 acres in 1941. The country surrounding the club is such that few quail are present; hence the possibility of widespread movement of birds from other areas does not exist. On the entire northwest, west, and most of the south boundaries are areas of bare sand dunes adjacent to the ocean; on the north and northeast boundaries are the truck farms of the Arroyo Grande Valley which support a very low quail population. An extensive series of eucalyptus groves, which are almost a biologic desert, forms most of the eastern boundary. The southeast corner abuts on heavy brush land that supports a low quail Fig. 52.

The brush at the club covers old dunes, which give a rolling char- acter to the topography. Except on the flat farming land and marsh, the soil is extremely sandy. Lacking humus, it does not hold water, and hence many plants common to brush lands in other parts of the State can not exist. The dominant brush species is heather goldenbush (Haplopappus ericoides). Other common species of brush are tree lupine (Lupinus arooreus), dune lupine (L. chamissonis), deerweed (Lotus s
