LOCALITIES IN LOWER CALIFORNIA 
In my botanizing in the lower part of Lower rai there were few 
‘polities visited, In 1926 I botanized at La Paz, which is on the gulf on the 
east side of the peninsula, and is the capitol of the seaitheees “half of the pen- 
insula. Most of my work was along the aos line to the east of the town. 
I also took a trip to San Antonio, 44 miles south, which is on the stage 
route to San Jose del Cabo, and is up near the divide leading over to San 
Bartolomo, and is in the hills. ea same year I took a trip of 20 miles south 
of Hermosillo to a silver mine in the Yaqui region. I also got a few plants 
at Carbo on the main railroad ites south of Nogales 
In 1927 I went straight to San Blas, Sila © which lies about 40 miles 
east of Toplobampo Bay, and to Los Mochis which is only 10 miles east of it. 
Then after stopping at Mazatlan I went to Tepic, the old and famous town 
in the old state of ‘Tepic, now called Nayarit. From there I went to Ixtlan, 
a small town on the railroad some 70 miles east, then to La Barranca, a little 
station on the edge of the great barranca where ma were building a bridge. 
This place is about 65 miles northwest of Guadalajar 
In 1928 I went by boat direct to San Jose del ay which is 14 miles 
east of Cape San Lucas, and the only big town in that region. It has no 
harbor, boats having to land through the surf. Some 40 miles east of it is the 
pretty little town of Miraflores, on a river coming out of the Laguna mount- 
ains, al I took my horseback trip up those mountains, going ten miles west 
before rning up a river leading to the heart of the range. Ten miles east 
of sraiaces lies "Seiitiage: and some 20 miles farther and on the coast 
lies the Ranch by the Sea where I did a little collecting. After leaving the 
ranch by the sea the road goes along the coast a few miles farther and 
region and has some magnificent springs and raises much fru 
only other place needing mention is Ue Sal be on ie sea, and 
60 miles wet and south of La Paz. wen ool miles east of there to the 
foot of the Lagunas at the Coda ranch. I ai ent some 14 miles west of 
La Paz on the mesa which extends to Magdalen Bay, to get the persimmon 
growing there.
