tudes. .At Wagon Camp, during the last half of July, we often saw a 
hen grouse with half a dozen young; and in arocky place among the 
alpine hemlocks near Squaw Creek, in September, we several times 
ran across a small flock, all full grown, feeding among patches of moun- 
tain chinquapin and the dwarf mountain manzanita (drctostaphylos 
nevadensis), Berries of the latter formed the principal contents of the 
crop of one killed by Vernon Bailey August 24. Mixed with these 
berries were seed capsules of P’entstemon gracilentius and a few large
