  REPORT 
  UNITED 
  STATES 
  GEOLOGICAL 
  SURVEY. 
  

  

  knowledge 
  of 
  the 
  country 
  surveyed. 
  Mr. 
  Brandigee, 
  who, 
  together 
  with 
  

   Ills 
  duties 
  as 
  botanist, 
  acted 
  as 
  my 
  assistant 
  throughout 
  the 
  season, 
  filled 
  

   both 
  places 
  with 
  exceeding 
  ability. 
  He 
  has 
  made 
  so 
  exhaustive 
  a 
  report 
  

   on 
  the 
  botany 
  that 
  it 
  would 
  have 
  been 
  useless 
  for 
  me 
  to 
  enlarge 
  upon 
  it 
  

   by 
  any 
  further 
  remarks 
  on 
  the 
  vegetation. 
  His 
  collections 
  and 
  his 
  

   report 
  both 
  show 
  him 
  to 
  have 
  studied 
  the 
  country 
  thoroughly. 
  

  

  Mr. 
  C. 
  E. 
  Aldrich, 
  who 
  had 
  charge 
  of 
  the 
  supply-camp 
  and 
  of 
  the 
  

   barometric 
  and 
  thermometric 
  work 
  at 
  the 
  Parrott 
  City 
  base, 
  has 
  fur- 
  

   nished 
  a 
  set 
  of 
  observations 
  whose 
  even 
  character 
  and 
  unbroken 
  series 
  

   show 
  them 
  to 
  have 
  been 
  taken 
  with 
  great 
  care. 
  He 
  has 
  always 
  fur- 
  

   nished 
  every 
  assistance 
  in 
  his 
  power.
