ABOUT THE AUTHOR 



Dr. Wendell M. Keck was publications edi- 

 tor at Intermountain Station for 12 years 

 prior to retirement in 1969. During his editor- 

 ship he became familiar with the Great Basin 

 Station's physical features and the long, inter- 

 esting history of important research done 

 there. He gratefully acknowledges technical 

 assistance in preparing this manuscript, par- 

 ticularly from Dr. William A. Laycock, 

 A. Perry Plummer, Dr. James P. Blaisdell, and 

 former Station Director Joseph F. Pechanec.
