er and the majority of them well watered. Montezuma Can- 

 yon borders on the line, and the canyons from there are Ash, 

 Clark, Miller, Carr, Ramsey, Brown, Tanner, Rock and Fort. 

 Of these Ramsey is by far the best and most logical, as it con- 

 tains a good stream, is easy of access and is quite gradual in 

 its ascent. Miller Canyon has also been collected extensively. 

 Tanner Canyon, or Garden Canyon as it is now known, the 

 Post garden being situated there, has the largest flow of water, 

 which has been reported as containing fish. On the western 

 slope the most prominent canyons are Cave, Bear, Copper 

 Glance, and Old Mill, but in none of these would I consider it 

 advisable to camp permanently. Cave Canyon, as the name in- 

 dicates, contains a number of caves, in one of which I believe 

 water has been found, and some interesting blind forms may 

 possibly occur there. In Montezuma Canyon the collector is 

 quite liable to encounter some new introduced cave subspecies, 

 in the nature of Mexican mescal smugglers, who rendezvous 

 in that locality. Ramsey Canyon can easily be reached from 

 Hereford, the headquarters of the Green Cattle Company, the 

 distance being about fourteen miles. A semi-weekly stage is 

 run between these points. About two miles up the canyon 

 there is a beautiful flower garden, the property of Mr. William 

 Berner, and it affords excellent collecting. A small store is 

 also kept in Ramsey Canyon, managed by the genial and able 

 proprietor of the Hotel de Jack. 



The Huachuca Mountains are still a fairly well wooded 

 range, notwithstanding the onslaughts of the lumber hogs who 

 thrived here before this region was declared a forest reserve. 

 The higher parts are covered by various conifers, including six 

 species of pines, Finns arizonica, P. ponderosa, P. strobi- 

 fortnis, P. cembroides, P. maryiana, and P. chihuchuana. 

 Along the streams grow various maples, alders, ash, walnuts, 

 madrones, and the splendid Arizona sycamore (Plat anus 

 wrightii Watson.) Eight species of oak are found here, these 

 being 0. hypolcnca, Q. chrysolepis, Q. emoryi, Q. reticulata, Q. 

 arisona, Q. gambelii, Q. oblongifolia and Q. undulata. The 

 latter is a scrub oak and occurs in extensive grooves, particu-
