FLORA OF THE SHASTA FORMATION. 223 



Locality No. 17. — Aldersons Gulch, 2 miles southwest of Ono, Shasta County, 

 Cal. Probably about the same as -No. 6. 



Locality No. 18. — Cold Fork of Cottonwood Creek, in the first gulch above 

 Stephenson's ranch, Tehama County, Cal. About the same as No. 7. 



Locality No. 19. — South Fork of Elder Creek, U miles south of Lowry, Tehama 

 Count}^ Cal. Nearlj^ the same as locality No. 11. 



Locality No. 20. — South Fork of Elder Creek, 5 miles southwest of Lowry, and 

 one-fourth of a mile below Coopers, near the conglomerate gorge, Tehama County, 

 Cal. This is near locality No. 10. 



Locality No. 21. — Elder Creek, 2\ miles below Lowry, and one-half mile below 

 the Gallatin ranch, Tehama County, Cal. This is near locality No. 8, and at the 

 base of the Chico formation. 



The following are the new localities : 



Locality No. 22. — Divide between Elder Ci'eek and Thome Creek, in the road 

 from Lowrjr to Paskenta, Tehama County, Cal. Knoxville beds. 



Locality No. 23. — Elder Creek, one-half mile, or a little less, below (east of) 

 Lowry, Tehama County, Cal. Probably top of Horsetown beds. 



The collection is larger than that made by Messrs. Stanton, Diller, and 

 Storrs, but does not add many new species. The impressions, like those of 

 Messrs. Stanton and Diller, are very fragmentary and poorly preserved, 

 so that it is very difficult to make satisfactory determinations. This is 

 especially true of some of the ferns. Many of these are represented by 

 small fragments, and in a numl^er of cases these bits may belong to any 

 one of several species. 



The third parcel contains six specimens collected by Messrs. T. W. 

 Stanton and Will Q. Brown, in 1890, near Riddles, Oreg., from strata 

 in Cow Creek Valley that are, in Mr. Diller's opinion, probably of Horse- 

 town age. 



These specimens are much better preserved than most of those from 

 the California localities. They indicate that the plants furnishing them 

 grew on some spot near where they are now found, so that they did not 

 float far before they were buried in sediment." 



« Besides these principal collections these notes include the descriptions of the several scattered specimens 

 from the Shasta formation in Oregon and California that have come in since the large collections were made, 

 and which have been noted in the historical part of this paper (see pp. 211, 217). The localities are there 

 fully given and will be recognized without being numbered. 



I have included in the synonymy of the species described in this report all the names that had previously 

 been published by Mr. Diller and Doctor Stanton (see pp. 212, 213), whether subsequently changed by Pro- 

 fessor Fontaine or not. They will thus be easily identified. — L. F. W.
