 pine forests, and was not observed elsewhere. It is nojfc yet in

Peach Springs, Arizona, June 27. 



Peach Springs is in a dry valley, surrounded by high hills which have a 

 scanty growth of cedar, with an abundance of cactus, agave, and yucca. 

 Most of the feed for the few animals kept here is brought from Califor- 

 nia, though the Indians occasionally bring in small lots of hay which 

 they have cut with knives. One light shower is all the rain-fall this 

 year to date, and no more is expected until August or September.
