NOTES ON CUPRESSUS MACNABIANA. 
ALICE EASTWOOD. 
This Cypress is, according to Professor C. S. Sargent (Syl. N 
Am. X. 109), one of the rarest trees in California, known only 
from a few dry slopes on the hills south and west of Clear Lake, 
in Lake County. The specimens from which the species was 
described were, however, collected at the southern base of Mt. 
Shasta, in 1854. Since then, it has not been found around Mt. 
Shasta. Dr. C. Hart Merriam (Biol. Surv. of Mt. Shasta, N. 
Am. Fauna, 16, 138) has suggested that the term ‘Shasta’ was 
probably used in a rather loose sense, as i ac adjacent moun- 
tains not then named. 
Recent collections in Mendocino, Lake, and Napa Counties 
give new and more definite information concerning the distribution 
.
