one going east to San Antonio and the other northeast to Pecos. At Van 
Horn a main road also goes north to Carlsbad, and it was here that Pine

At Amboy I turned north to the Providence mountains, passing on the 
way the beautiful spring in the cove of the Old Dad mountains where I got 
most of my specimens on my previous visit to that range. On this visit I 
went some ten miles farther to the Barnes ranch at the foot of the Providence. 
East of the Needles Oatman lies near the top of the first range east of 
the Colorado river and here we get almost out of the Tropical life zone. 
Then we descend to the plain again and go on to Hackberry where the rail- 
road goes up a canon in a low range. It is here just before we enter the

life zone. Williams is just in the edge of the Middle Temperate. The

more into the sky. 
Kanab lies at the foot of the cliffs, which farther north and east form 
the famous Bryce cano :
