From Culiacan we went by rail to Altata which is on the coast, 
but little of interest was found outside of the sand-loving plants. 
On May 23 we were again in Guaymas, where a day was spent 
visiting some neighboring ranches and a rocky island in the 
harbor. April 24 we arrived at Magdalena, also in Sonora, where 
we spent a day. We then left for Tucson where we closed our 
field work and returned to Washington. 
The results were a collection of 10,000 herbarium specimens, 
representing 3,000 numbers, besides numerous living specimens 
of succulents, chiefly cactuses. A set of the living and herbarium 
specimens has been deposited in the New York Botanical Garden. 
The funds for the expedition were furnished by the New York 
Botanical Garden, the Desert Laboratory of the Carnegie Institu- 
tion, and the U.S. National Museum.
