tory. Grouse and pheasants abound in the hills. In season duck shooting is 

 fine. A day's tramp will take one to the home of the Rocky Mountain goat. 

 In a day one may penetrate a pathless forest or stand on craggy heights, 

 where the view presents the jagged Rockies, the backbone of the continent. 



BAGGAGE. 



Avoid trunks. Pack outfits in rolls, covered by canvas, fastened by large 

 and strong straps or ropes. Hand baggage of any kind is not troublesome. 

 Heavy weight of books is unnecessary. For those who live in tents, as most 

 persons prefer to do, a tent is necessary. This will make a small roll, and for 

 ordinary miner's or wall tents poles are not necessary. They may be cut 

 after arrival. 



Fig. 128. The region about the laboratory is rich in material for study. 



Those who sleep in tents must remember the nights are always cool. A 

 cheap tick, ready to be filled, and two comforts or heavy blankets over, with 

 whatever is desired under the individual, are necessary. In place of the pre- 

 ceding a sleeping bag is a luxury. 



PUBLICATIONS. 



The number of publications, based wholly or in part on the work carried 

 on at the laboratory, is considerable. Many are in course of preparation. 

 They cover principally the material in the vicinity. The birds have been 

 listed, and much new information derived on their habits and distribution. 

 The work on butterflies was expanded into a bulletin covering the entire 

 state. The lichens and mosses have been listed, and many papers written on 

 the forestry and botany of the region.
