occasion reached the crest of the mountain-range at a distance 
of from twelve to fifteen miles from our cabin and here attained 
an elevation of between 13,000 and 14,000 feet. Above timber- 
line the conditions were not favorable for collecting fungi as 
would naturally be supposed; but I was surprised to find a few 
fleshy cup-fungi in mossy places even at some distance above 
snow line. At the crest of the mountain-range vegetation of all 
kinds was very scant.
