By H. E. EWING, Iowa State College, Ames, Iowa. 



(Plate III.) 



Studies of a mountain flora or fauna have usually had a 



j 



special fascination to most naturalists. Especially is this the 

 case where the mountain flora or fauna studied is at such an 

 altitude as to belong to a different life zone from that of the 

 surrounding country. While located in Oregon the writer had 

 such an opportunity of studying a mountain fauna and its 

 relation to that of the surrounding region belonging to a differ- 

 ent life zone. For several summers I made collections from 

 the top of Mary's Peak, and also from surrounding regions. 

 Mary's Peak is one of the Coast Range Mountains of western 

 Oregon. Tt is in Benton County, and is situated about 15 

 miles southwest of the town of Corvallis, the county seat.
