give way to the Middle Temperate which covers the bulk of the Kaibab, ex- 
cept on north slopes and tips of ridges which are Upper Temperate. Going 
north to Kanab we get down into the Lower Temperate and continue in that 
zone far upward toward the divide leading over to Glendale, and at and 
near Glendale we get in that zone again, and this zone continues up the 
Vergin many miles until it gradually fades into the Middle Temperate, which 
continues over the summit to and below Panguitch. Near Marysvale we get 
again into the Lower Temperate and continue in it to Salt Lake City. 
West of Salt Lake City we are in the same zone to and beyond Wendover 
where we gradually get up into Middle Temperate on the summits we cross 
as far as Wells and Elko. North of Elko the vegetation is mostly Middle

been found by Hall in the Escalante desert, Utah, and by me at various
