§$ 269. Sequoia.—arper’s for November contains a very impor- 
tant paper by John Muir upon “ The New Sequoia Forests of Cali- 
fornia,” accompanied with ten illustrations of these giant trees. He 
details the discovery by himself of a grand forest of Sequoia seventy 
miles long, lying considerably to the south of the isolated groups 
hitherto known, and containing large numbers of saplings which 
indicate that the species is still in a vigorous state of existence. It © 
-has been argued heretofore that the few groups of these trees known 
made it probable that the species was dying out from its last strong- 
holds upon the earth—-for it has come down to us from pre-glacial 
times, when it existed in Europe also, as geologic evidence testifies. 
Mr. Muir’s researches lead him to believe that the species has never 
been more extensively distributed on the Sierra in post-glacial times 
than it is now. and that to-day it is as full of life and vigor as it was 
10,000 years ago.— Utica Herald. :
