mountain heights. Jroyunis ciiiyiiomc, very light green with 

 yellow and silver markings underneath with dark ferruginous 

 above trimmed abundantly with black, flew over the hillsides ; 

 the yellow and pink coloration of Colias scudderi added to the 

 beauty of the scene. Bumble-bees and flies buzzed about our 

 heads, and great gaudily colored saw flies tangled themselves in 

 our hair. The ants were just swarming and under the rocks 

 we found several speeies of beetles and spiders. 



The view from the top was magnificent. Toward the west 

 the great Rio Grande Valley could be seen bordered by hills 

 which looked to be made of blue mist, so far away they lay. 

 To the north, the south and the west were rugged peaks and 

 wooded ranges everywhere marking the horizon off by curious 

 zigzag lines. Two bald eagles flew through the space to our 

 right — down and then up, darting and sailing and then across 

 until they disappeared from sight.
