Notes on the Distribution of Forest Trees 



Whitebark pine (Pinus albicaulis). Whitebark pine had not been known east of the 

 Mount Shasta region in northern California until it was seen in 1904 by R. T. Fisher 

 just north of Mount Shasta, on the high peaks above 8,000 feet and immediately east 

 of Shasta Valley, and by S. J. Flinam, in 1906, along timber line on the west slope of 

 Warner Mountains, in the northeastern corner of the State, at elevations from 9,000 to 

 10,000 feet. The southern limits of this pine in the Sierras, as determined by 

 Geo. B. Sudworth, are the high mountain slopes between the head of East Fork of 

 Kern River and Crab Tree Creek at 12,000 feet, and a'; the head of Little Kern River. 

 There may possibly be more southern stations, and specimens from this little-known 

 region are greatly desired. On the eastern slopes of the Sierras it was also found in 

 1906 on Mount Rose near Reno, Nev., by P. B. Kennedy (not of the Forest Service), 

 and probably occurs elsewhere on the eastern side of the Sierras, though records of 

 it are lacking. Whitebark pine occurs on several high peaks of the southern Cali- 

 fornia Coast Ranges, but its exact range there is not fully known. Specimens and 

 notes from the San Bernardino and San Jacinto mountains are desired. It has also 

 been reported in the high mountains of southern Idaho and northern Utah, and also 

 as far east in Montana as the Bear Paw Mountains (east of the Continental Divide) 

 by A. F. Potter, H. F. Studley, Smith Riley, F. W. Reed, and J. H. Hatton. Speci- 

 mens from these localities are also greatly desired. 



Lowland fir (Abies grandis). Dr. C. Hart Merriam (of the Biological Survey) dis- 

 covered this fir in a narrow strip of the Coast pine, P,inus contorta, north of Fort Ross, 

 in Sonoma County, Cal. This, for the present, must be considered its southern 

 limit. 



Red fir (Abies magnified}. J. Rebmann reported for red fir the most southern limit 

 recorded in the Sierras, where he found it in the Greenhorn Mountains, at the head 

 of Lumreau Creek (a tributary of Poso Creek), sections 12, 13, 11, 14, of T. 26 S., R. 

 31 E , at from 4,500 to 6,650 feet elevation. 



Redwood (Sequoia sempiv-rens). The most eastern limit for the Coast redwood, and 

 the only point known on the east slopes of the Coast Range, is near the town of 

 Willets on Deep Creek, Mendocino County, where S. J. Flintham observed the tree 

 in 1905. 



^\facNab cypress (Cupressus macnabwna) . A new 7 grove of this cypress, and the 

 farthest north of any of the Lake County groves, was discovered in 1902 by W. W. 

 Mackie; the information has only just been received. The trees are scattered along 

 Bartlett Creek, in the Stony Creek National Forest, from Horse County southward. 



Rocky Mountain juniper (Janiperus scopulorum ) . The eastern limits of this species 

 are, in general, the eastern foothills of the Rocky Mountains, from Alberta to west- 

 ern Texas, but it has been recently noted in Oklahoma by W. J. Gardner and G. L. 

 Clothier. Further investigation of the Black Hills (South Dakota) juniper may 

 prove it to, be this species.
