THE MOST NORTHERN ST A TION OF AG A VE 

 SHA IVH. 



On a recent tramp in search of fossils, I found myself wander- 

 ing^ along the ocean bluff on the west side of Point Loma, and, 

 when about midway between the hotel at Ocean Beach and the 

 light-house on the Point, I noticed a litde way ahead what I cor- 

 rectly surmised to be the flower stalks of the beautiful Agave 

 Shavv'ii, originally described from the plants found in the vicinity 

 of the United States and Mexican boundary monument, a few 

 miles south of San Diego. Only a half dozen stalks were found 

 erect and the several hundred plants were confined to a strip 

 along the bluff, some sixty feet above the water, not exceeding 

 300 feet in length. 



Probably this species will not be found further north, unless, 

 possibly, it may occur near the Soledad pines, where I failed to 

 observe it, however. It is now known to be abundant near the 

 coast southward as far as San Quintin bay. Lower California, and 

 has been reported equally abundant considerably further south.
