and has an altiiude of 775 meters (2,543 feet), the highest neighbor- 

 ing point reaching 1,410 meters (4,626 feet) in height. Mountani 

 Spring is about 6.5 kilometers (4 miles) north of Monument No. 231, 

 135 kilometers (84 miles) west of the Colorado River, and 92 kilo- 

 meters (57 miles) east of the Pacific Ocean. There are some rushes 

 and a few mesquite and ■ screw-bean trees around the spring, and 

 much underbrush, yucca, cacti, and ephedras on the surrounding hills. 

 A little higher up the slopes the juniper zone begins, and vegetation 

 becomes more luxuriant. The mammals that were collected here 

 were of much interest, as some of them were intergrades between the 

 forms of the Colorado Desert and those of the Pacific Coast Tract. 

 My party remained at this place from May 9 to 16, 1894.
