Besides frequent notes on sage-brush, yellow pine, and other 

 common plants which every traveler would notice, there is some 

 more technical, and apparently quite trustworthy, botanical 

 information, with scientific names mentioned, such as an anno- 

 tated list of the characteristic trees of the Sierra Nevada, and a 

 sketch of the tree zones on Mount Shasta. Every botanist who 

 is interested in the West as much as $4 worth, or contemplates 

 traveling on either of the routes named in the near future, would 

 do well to provide himself with a set of these bulletins. (Single 

 parts have been reviewed in more detail by geologists and geog- 

 raphers in Science for Aug. 13, 1915, the Bulletin of the American 

 Geographical Society for September, and its successor the 

 Geographical Review for February, April and May, 1916.)
