The McPherson Scientific Expedition 



The McPherson Scientific Expedition, consisting of H. H. Nininger, 

 head of the Biology department of McPherson College, Foster Hoover, 

 his assistant, and Warren Knaus, who represented the State Agricul- 

 tural College, returned August 28, 1921, from an eight weeks collect- 

 ing trip over the Southwest, that required more than 4000 miles of 

 travel and reached the states of Colorado, Wyoming, Utah, Nevada and 

 Southern California. 



The trip was primarily for the collection of insects, [of which about 

 12.000 were obtained], but Professor Nininger and his assistant also 

 collected and prepared about a hundred bird and small mammal skins. 



The trip was without accidents or mishaps of any consequence and 

 was made over the Union Pacific Railroad through Denver, Cheyenne, 

 Salt Lake City and the Salt Lake road, recently purchased by the 

 Union Pacific, through Las Vegas, Nev., to Los Angeles and the Santa 

 Fe to San Diego, California. Returning the same route was followed 

 to Salt Lake City, where the Denver & Rio Grande was taken to Den- 

 ver. The only delay encountered on the trip was from Salt Lake City 

 in Colorado Springs, due to excessive rains in the mountains of Utah 

 and Colorado. 



The results of the trip were highly successful in the number of speci- 

 mens secured. Side trips were made at Medicine Bow, Wyoming, at 

 Lund, Utah, to Cedar City and Parowan, to the top of the Parowan 

 Mountains at an elevation of ten thousand feet, to Zion Canon and 

 Hurricane, Southwest Utah. At San Bernardino, with a party of 

 friends to Big Bear Lake in the San Bernardino Mountains, 50 miles 

 east. At Crucero, California, up the Death Valley line to Death Valley 

 Junction, thence by auto to Ash Meadow, Nevada. From Colorado 

 Springs a trip was made to the petrified forest near Florissant, where 

 fossil leaves and insects were sought.
