 Ljan. 



species were noted, some of them not found in the Yosemite 

 Valley. Wawona is twenty-six miles south of the Yosemite on 

 the south branch of Merced River in the high forest region. It 

 lies in the National Park and would be an excellent place for 

 birdlovers to stay a week or more ; it has a very good hotel, in 

 fact a better one than the Sentinel Hotel in the Yosemite Valley.
