LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL. 
U. S. DeparTMENT or AGRICULTURE, 
Forrest SERVICE, 
W amination, D.C., March 28, 1911. 
Sir: I have the honor to transmit herewith a muitos: entitled 
“ Chaparral,” by Fred G. Plummer, Geographer, and to recommend 
its publication as Bulletin 85 of the Forest Service. No publication 
dealing exclusively with chaparral has ever before been issued, and 
this bulletin is therefore a pioneer in its field. 
Respectfully, 
Henry S. GRAVES, 
Forester. 
Hon. James WIson, : 
Secretary of Agriculture.
