A SKETCH OF THE FLORA OF SOUTHERN CALI-

(Concluded from p. 222.) 
THE CISMONTANE AREA. 
THE genera which are confined to this area are more in num- 
ber than the distinctive genera of both the other areas combined. 
Some of them have so wide a range as to deprive them of any 
but the most general phytogeographical value, and these are 
omitted from the following table. I have designated by an 
asterisk those genera which are represented by species that come 
to us from the south; the others are of northern affinity, and, 
with the exception of a few belonging to the central valley of 
‘California, are plants of the Pacific coast flora.

From a study of the distribution of the avifauna of Cali-

area to embrace a strip of territory from the Coast Mountains, 
and including them, to the sea; and extending from Monterey
