Calamagrostis canadensis Beauv. Some very excellent forms of 
this were seen in meadows. It is no doubt a good hay grass. 
Calamagrostis inexpansa A. Gray. This species, though not very 
abundant, seems capable of producing a good quantity of fair 
ay. 
Calamagrostis neglecta Geertn. A variety of this species was found 
which seemed capable of producing a fair erop of good hay. 
Deschampsia ceespitosa Beauv. In several very wet places we saw 
forms of this grass which produced a great 
bulk of hay of fair quality. 
Eatonia obtusata A. Gray. (Fig. 10.) This 
and the next species are generally regarded 
in the East as of little or no agrieultural 
value, but some forms noticed in meadows 
in the Gallatin Valley produced quite a 
bulk of the hay. 
Eatonia pennsylvanica A. Gray. In a meadow 
at Bozeman, Mont., a thrifty form of this is 
regarded as a fair hay grass. In this con- 
nection it is well to note that quite a num- 
ber of grasses, usually of little or doubtful 
value in the Eastern States, were here more 
thrifty, possessing characters which led us 
to cbe them as worthy of attention in 
this r 
Elymus cannons L. (Fig.11.) A prominent 
Sheep raiser in Kearney County, Nebr., says 
this is a valuable grazing grass in the sand 
hills. It also makes fair hay if cut before it 
gets too old. \ 
Elymus triticoides Nutt. This was about the Fie. 11.—Wild-rye (Elymus 
only grass seen among the very arid Alka- — 
line bluffs about Green River, Wyoming. It is a bunch grass and 
must furnish quite a little forage in such localities. 
Festuca ovina L. This grass in its several varieties is the most 
abundant and perhaps the most valuable one of the foothills. It 
is considered very nutritious and furnishes the greater part of the 
winter grazing. 
Festuca rubra L. In some places in Montana this is a common 
species. It frequents moist meadows. At Bozeman it was com- 
mon in the meadows of the experiment station, and was regarded 
as a good hay grass. 5 
Festuca scabrella Torr. This is another “ Bunch-grass” of great 
value which is found growing in similar situations as the last, but 
not so common. 
Koeleria cristata Pers. Many of the Montana specimens referred to 
this species are so different in habit and general appearance from
