338 NORTH AMERICAN FAUNA. [No. 7. 



meters (3,700 feet) on the side of the open canon leading from Teha- 

 chapi Valley to the Mohave Desert. 



Panamint Mountains. — Common with the juniper along the summit 

 of the Panamint Range. In the basin above Wild Pose Spring on the 

 northwest slope of Telescope Peak it descends to 1,980 or 1,920 meters 

 (0,500 or 6,300 feet), and ranges up on this peak to 2,740 meters (9,000 

 feet), or higher. Heaps of cones were found in many places in the Pan- 

 amint Mountains, where they had been left by the Indians after the nuts 

 had been extracted. 



White Mountains. — Common, descending to 2,010 meters (6,700 feet) 

 on the east slope above Deep Spring Valley. 



NEVADA. 



Charleston Mountains. — Common with the juniper, descending on the 

 west slope to about 1,550 meters (5,100 feet). 



Pahroc Mountains. — Common on the higher parts of the range, and 

 lower down in the canons. 



Gold Mountain. — Common along the summit, descending on the 

 south side as low at least as 2,070 meters (6,800 feet). 



Mount Magruder. — As already stated, the nut pine grows in greater 

 abundance on Mount Magruder than in any other locality visited by 

 the expedition, forming handsome forests on many of the knobs and 

 peaks that rise from the mountain plateau, where it is very little mixed 

 with juniper. 



Juniper Mountains. — Scarce in the dense juniper forest extending 

 from Meadow Creek Valley, Nevada, to the Escalante Desert in Utah. 



UTAH. 



Upper Santa Clara Valley. — Begins about 13 kilometers (8 miles) north- 

 west of St. George on south exposures at an altitude of about 1,270 

 meters (4,200 feet) and grows scattering on the side hills in the Upper 

 Santa Clara Valley, ranging thence westerly to the Shoal Creek country. 



Beaverdam Mountains. — Tolerably common on the Beaverdam Moun- 

 tains, ranging down on the east side to about 1,160 meters (3,800 feet), 

 and on the west slope to about 1,340 meters (4,400 feet). 



ARIZONA. 



Virgin Mountains. — On the west side of the Virgin Mountains the 

 nut pine forms a broad zone, mixed with juniper, coming fully halfway 

 down to the foot of the range. 



Pinus ponderosa. 



Mr. Bailey tells me that Pinus ponderosa is common on the west 

 slope of the Sierra Nevada along the East Fork of Kaweah River, grow- 

 ing with Sequoia gigantea in a belt between the altitude of 1,830 and 

 2,100 meters (6,000 to 7,000 feet). Its range is below that of Pinus 

 jeffreyi.
