Shasta Valley. When visited about the end of September, the trees 
were full of their large berries, and many birds, including evening 
grosbeaks and Townsend solitaires, were there in numbers feeding 
on them, The zone position of this tree, which appears to be the 
type form, is high Upper Sonoran and low Transition. The boreal 
form common in the Sierra, but not found on Shasta, should be 
different. 
Sitanion cinereum J. (i. Smith. Alpine Grass. 
The common grass of the glacial meadows, but nowhere sufficiently 
abundant to form anything like a sod. It is closely related to WS. ely- 
moides Raf., from which it has been recently separated by Mr. Jared G. 
Smith. 
Carex breweri Boott. Alpine Carex. 
Common in the glacial meadows and scattered sparingly over the 
moist slopes. (Identified by F. V. Coville.) 
Juncus parryi Engelm. Parry Juncus. 
Common in the heather patches and other moist places from slightly 
below timberline up through the Alpine zone. Noted by Vernon Bailey 
as high as 11,300 feet. (Identified by F. V. Coville.) 
Allium validum Watson. Large Wild Onion. 
Abundant in the Canadian zone along the streams of the Shasta fir 
belt, and often growing in the lower heather beds along the lowcr 
border of the Hudsoniau zone. (Identified by Professor Grecue.) 
Allium sp. —? 
A very small species is common in the glacial meadows at the head 
of Squaw Creek, but matures so early that we were unable to obtain 
anything but the bulbs. 
Calochortus nudus Watson. 
Fairly common along the lower edge of the Canadian zone neap 
Wagon Camp, flowering late in July. (Identified by Miss Eastwood 
and Professor Greene.) 
Calochortis maweanus Leichtlin. 
Not rare at Wagon Camp, but not seen elsewhere. An elegant little 
species with white hairy flowers. (Identified by Professor Greene.) 
Fritillaria atropurpurea Nutt. 
Common in the chaparral of the Transition zone basal slopes from 
Sisson up to Wagon Camp. (Identified by Miss Eastwood.) 
Hastingsia alba (Durand) Wats. 
Common near Wagon Camp, where its long and slender cylindrical 
spikes were in flower the latter part of July. (Identified by Miss East- 
wood and Professor Greene.) 
Lilium parvum Kellogg. Tiger Lily. 
Common in marshy places in the lower part of the Shasta fir belt, 
particularly at Wagon Camp, where it was flowering abundantly about
