No. 130. A camp on HENRY'S Fork, among the big cotton-woods that 

 line all these streams. 



No. 131. A camp oh Henry's Fore, having as a background a portion 

 of the Hog Hacks, which rise ridge by ridge to the distant 

 summits of the quartzite nucleus of the Uintahs. (See also 

 130, where they are shown on a more extended scale.) 



Nos. 132,133. BeAYEB dams on Henry's Pork. This stream was atone 

 rime thickly inhabited by beavers, but they have been nearly 

 driven out by the advance of civilization. There are many 

 left, however, in some of the quiet, secluded nooks, and in 

 SUCh a place we found the subject which affords us so ex- 

 cellent an illustration of their habits. They have here con- 

 structed a dam across the channel of the fork, about fifty 

 yards in length and from three to live feet in height 



No. 134. Shows now THEY OUT DOWN TREES, trim I hem out. and cut 

 them into convenient lengths suitable for their purpose. 

 The tree at the left is eighteen inches in diameter. The 

 amount of work they do, and the mechanical ingenuity they 

 show in its accomplishment, would hardly obtain credence 

 were it not lor the incontrovertible evidence here before our 

 eyes. 



No. 136. QUAKING-ASP GROVE. A beautiful tree scattered all overthe 

 higher foot-hills, generally in groves of considerable extent. 

 They form a very pleasant relief to the monotony of the pine- 

 forest growth. 



No. 130. Hon Backs on Henry's Fork, near its junction with Green 

 Elver. (See No. L31.) 



No. 137. A NATURAL cave near Green River, in an upheaved ridge of 

 limestone. It is full of holes and crevices, that give shelter 

 to multitudes of bats and animals. This cave has also been 

 a favorite resort for Indians, as is shown by traces of tires, 

 the walls of stone laid up for defense, and the chipped Hints 

 and arrow heads scattered about. 



No. 13S. A PERPENDICULAR BLUFF of curiously weathered sandstone 

 Opposite the cave. 



Nos. 130,140. THE FLAMING Gorge, a view on Green River, at the 

 mouth of Henry's Fork, of great beauty, and which derives 

 its principal charm from the vivid coloring. The waters of 

 the river are of the purest emerald, with banks and sand- 

 bars of glistening white. The perpendicular bluff to the left 

 is nearly 1,500 feet above the level of the river, and of a 

 bright red and yellow. When illumined by full sunlight, it 

 readily suggests the title given it. it is the entrance or 

 gateway to the still greater wonders and grandeurs of the 

 famous Bed Canon, that cuts its way to a depth of ,'{,000 feet 

 between this point and its entrance into Brown's Hole. 



No. 141. Green RIVER at Brown's Hole, below the Bed Canon, calm, 

 quiet, and peaceful, recuperating for the still more turbulent 

 passage of the deeper, gloomier, and longer cafions below. 



The sandy beach at the left shows the foot-prints of nu- 

 merous deer, bears, and elk that frequent these banks. 



No. 142. A bluff OF QUARTZITE, near the mouth of Red Creek, in 

 Brown's Hole. 



No. 113. Scene near the head of Bed Creek, showing a fine expo- 

 sure of the Tertiary beds.
