 kilometers (94 miles) east of the Pacific Ocean. Altitude, 2 meters 

 (7 feet) below the level of the sea. The vegetation is about the same

 and 131 kilometers (81 miles) east of the Pacific Ocean. Altitude, 6 

 meters (20 feet) below the level of the sea. Except at the wells, the 

 river was dry at this point. I visited this station May 3, 1894, and 

 Mr. Holzner camped there May 5 to 6, 1894.

 tude, 9 meters (30 feet) below the level of the sea. This part of New 

 River is bordered by arrowwood, mesquite, and a few desert weeds 

 and shrubs. My detachment camped here from May 3 to 6, 1894.

 fornia, Monument No. 224, 92 kilometers (58 miles) west of the Colo- 

 rado River, and 135 kilometers (83 miles) east of the Pacific Ocean.

 kilometers (62 miles) east of the Pacific Ocean. Altitude, 100 meters 

 (328 feet). This barren place, without wood or water, was occupied 

 by my party from May 6 to 8, 1894. A few plants, reptiles, birds, 

 mammals, and rocks were collected. 



Station No. 84. — Eastern base of the Coast Range Mountains, San 

 Diego County, California. This station was at the lowest water in 

 the canyon through which the San Diego wagon road passes, about 8

 miles) west of the Colorado River, and 98 kilometers (60 miles) east 

 of the Pacific Ocean. Altitude^ 560 meters (1,837 feet). This can- 

 yon had a fiery temperature. Ephedras, cacti, and a few mesquites 

 and desert willows grew in the canyon, and there was considerable 

 shrubbery on the hills above the camp, which was occupied by my 

 party from May 7 to 9, 1894.
