DIVISION FIVE — NAMES. 409 



tury Co., New York, in 1894, John Muir re-tells the story of his climb in 

 Eaton canyon, but with some variations, and he now makes the grave mis- 

 take in geography of supposing this canyon to be in the foot-slopes of " Old 

 Baldy." On page 376 he says : 



" The fall, the flowers, the bees, the ferny rocks, and leafy shade form- 

 ing a charming little poem of wildness, the last of a series extending down 

 the flowery slopes of Mount San Antonio [' Old Baldy '] through the rug- 

 ged, foam-beaten bosses of the main Eaton canyon." 



Then again on page 380, he .says : 



"Next day, in the channel of a tributary that heads on Mount San 

 Antonio [?] I passed about fifteen or twenty gardens like the one in which I 

 slept "; etc. 



As Mount San Antonio is about sixty miles away from Eaton canyon, 

 in another and entirely different range of mountains, this is a singular error ; 

 and I can onl\- account for it bj- supposing that he mistook San Gabriel 

 peak, which does furni.sh a tributary- to Eaton canyon, for Mount San An- 

 tonio.
