INTRODUCTORY NOTE. 
The following notes on the Wasatch, Canyon, and House ranges 
in Utah are the results of a short excursion in the summer of 1904, 
and are to be taken as a continuation of a paper on The Mountain 
Ranges of the Great Basin in volume 42, number 3 of this Bulletin. 
My party included Prof. E. S. Hinckley of Provo, Utah, who had 
rendered much practical assistance in getting horses and outfit ready 
before the arrival of the rest of us from the east; Prof. L. G. West- 
gate, of Ohio Wesleyan University, Delaware, Ohio; Mr. G. C. 
Curtis, of Boston; and M. Meurice Allorge of Paris. We were in the 
field from July 12 to July 27. 
THE WasatcH RANGE. 
The Spanish Peak Wasatch. The part of the Wasatch range 
between the through-going cross valleys of Spanish fork and Hobble 
Creek, to which special attention was given in my previous paper, was 
visited again, partly that it should be seen as a type form by the other 
members of the party, and also with the object of determining how far 
its eastern or back slope might retain remnants of pre-faulting form.
