WEST \-IRGINIA GEOLOGICAL SURVEY 257 



the same range of mountains as the original station of Canby 

 in A'irginia. The ^lonongaha station in the extreme north- 

 ern part of the State has an altitude of about 850 ft. and is

 yet found the species at any point through the State that 

 would connect these distant localities, yet I fully believe that 

 many will be found in the future.
