Pleasant Valley, Utah, August 18. 3 
Pleasant Valley is on the eastern slope of the mountains, bordering 
the Salt Lake Valley. This is a very dry region, similar to that about 
Green River. <Agropyrun glaucum, A. repens, aud Hbymus condensatus 
are the more common species. Oryzopsis cuspidata is common on the 
hills, and Poa tenuifolia, var., is also frequent. 
As in other parts of Utah and Nevada, the amount of wild grass now 
found on the range is very much less than it was before the introdue- 
tion of sheep, which seem to have killed the roots of most perennial 
species, so that what was good pasture land five years ago is now 
almost barren. 
_ Green River, Utah, August 20. 
The bluffs here are high and barren, I found no cultivated land ex- 
cept three small places on the river bank, and there are said to be no 
other ranches nearer than the Lasal Mountains, 20 miles to the south- 
east. The range here is so barren that no stock is kept. A rain about 
July 1 wet the ground toa depth of about 3 inches; previous to that 
there had been no rain or snow since April 20, 1886. On the sandy 
lands along the river a number of coarse grasses were found, but 00 — 
the mesas and hills I could find nothing except occasionally Agro, opyrum 
repens and Poa ae atte var.
