48 APPENDIX. 
The Rocky Mountain District is essentially a country of 
“ forest, stream and mountain,” interspersed with innumer- 
able lakes, the breeding places of most of our water birds. 
The forests consist chiefly of coniferous trees, though 
birch, maple, and cottonwood abound in many places. 
An examination of the tables below will give some idea 
as to the difference in the humidity of the three districts. 
Rain and Snow Fall.
