provision. On the twenty-sixth we secured a team which took 
us thirty miles up into the mountains. We camped near Silver 
Lake, near the headwaters of the Big Cottonwood Creek. Here 
we were joined by Professor Garrett and stayed about two weeks. 
The Big Cottonwood and its tributaries run through a number of 
small lakes and the cafions and valleys are surrounded by moun- 
tains of an altitude of 9,000-12,000 feet. Our collection was rich 
in specimens, although the flowers of the alpine flora were not 
in bloom as yet. I have made arrangements with Professor Gar- 
rett who was to spend the month of August in this region to col- 
lect a set of the plants blooming later 
After our return from Salt Lake City we took the train to 
Garfield one day, and collected on the salt marshes and sand 
dunes along Great Salt Lake. 
On July 18 we took the train to Marysvale, which served as 
our headquarters for the remaining part of the summer. After 
having collected a few days in the valley of Sevier River around’ 
Marysvale, we secured a team which took us up into the Bullion 
Cajion. Our outfit was transported by wagon for eight miles, 
2, é., aS far as there was a wagon road, and then fora mile or two 
on eae horses. We collected both in the caiion of the Bullion 
Creek and on the casi tice mountains, and secured a valuable 
collection of specimens. Our camp was situated about 8,000 feet 
a, and wec ciighed | several mountains ranging from 
10,000-1 2, os feet. The highest of these was Delano Peak, the 
third in height of the range. We intended to climb Mt. Belknapp 
and Baldy Mountain, both over 13,000 feet, and started out one 
day to do so. By taking a wrong trail we found ourselves on a 
ridge separated from them by a deep cafion. Seeing that the 
upper parts of both mountains were covered by loose rocks and 
apparently without any vegetation, we did not think it worth the 
effort of either crossing the cafion or retracing our steps to the 
junction of the trail leading to Mt. Belknapp 
After our return to Marysvale we started out for a trip to the 
Aquarius Plateau and Fish Lake. The former, as far as I know, 
had not been visited by any botantist. A few very interesting 
plants had been picked up there by the distinguished geologist
