of a canoe, tents, and camping equipment was made up, with which 
he, with two assistants, proceeded down the Yukon River to An- 
vik a distance of a thousand miles. The trip was made between 
June 15 and August 12, in lessthan 60 days. The geologi- 
cal exposures along the banks of the river were examined and 
an effort was made to determine the exact stratigraphic rela- 
tions of the rocks by means of the fossil remains of plants. 
Specimens were collected from 38 localities amounting to nearly 
a ton in weight, which were safely forwarded to Washington for 
further study. This material makes the largest. paleobotanical 
collection ever secured from Alaska. Dr. Hollick resumed his 
duties in the Garden early in September. 
The total precipitation in the Garden during the month of Sep- 
tember amounted to 3.6 inches. Maximum temperatures of 83° 
on the 3d, 85° on the 13th, 89° on the 14th and 81° on the 22d, 
were observed ; also minima of 48° on the 7th, 54” on the rath, 
45.5° on the 1gth, 38.5° onthe 25th and 37.5° on the 2oth.
