24 Muhlenberg! a, Volume 8 



A dry slope on the south side, above the meadow, produced 

 several Erigerons, Senecios and Arnicas, growing among scat- 

 tered pine trees at 9700 feet, while in a damp place, still on the 

 slope at 9900 feet were found Oreobroma pygmaea and Litho- 

 phragma bulbifera. The latter is another of the few species 

 common to both eastern and western Nevada, being abundant 

 locally in the mountains west of Reno. 



A surprise awaited me at loioo feet at the head of the can- 

 yon, for here, among the stones in the shallow stream bed was 

 Mimnlus implexus^ just as it occurs with us on Mt. Rose and at 

 other places in the Sierra Nevada.
