LORQUINIA 
2. Junipems calif ornica Carr. This is rather a common shrub 
in the Tujunga and Pacoima washes in the San Fernando valley, less 
so in the San Gabriel wash near Azusa. It is common on the desert 
side of the mountains. 
3. Myrica oaUf ornica C. & S. Wax myrtle. This has only 
been found in Rustic canyon, near Santa Monica. - Common in the 
middle Coast ranges. M. hartwegii is found in the middle Sierras. 
4. Quercus lohata Nee. Valley or white oak. This tree is com- 
mon around Chatsworth Park and on the Santa Susanna mountains. 
Single trees are found at Santa Monica and Lamanda Park. It is 
thus seen to gradually dwindle out at its southern limit. 
5. Odostemon nevinii (A. Gray) Abrams. Nevin's barberry. 
Only found in the Pacoima and Tujunga washes in the San Fernando 
valley. Its nearest rel?tive, O. fremonti (Torr.) Rydb., is found in 
southern San Diego county. 
6. Odostemon fascicnlaris (DC) Abrams. This has been found 
in certain very limited spots. On the Switzer's trail ; on the divide 
between Millard's and Bear canyons ; and in the Verdugo mountains. 
7. Svida calif ornica (C. A. Mey) Abrams. Dogwood. There is 
a large tree growing along Ballona Creek near the end of the West 
Adams St. car line. It is frequent in the San Gabriel, San Bernar- 
dino and San Jacinto mountains. A fossil cypress has been found in 
the Rancho la Brea fossil deposits, and this Dogwood, which belongs 
in the same life zone, probably represents a survival of that old geo- 
logical period. It has also been recorded from Oak Knoll, near 
Pasadena. 
8. Arbutus menziesii Pursh. Madrono. Limited groves are 
found on the old Mt. Wilson Trail and the Sturtevant Trail. It has 
also been recorded from the Santa Monica mountains. It is common 
in the middle Coast Range, the Santa Cruz mountains ?nd north- 
wards. 
The last two plants are especially suggestive for thought and 
study. And many other plants are equally so. 
THE FISHES OF THE SANTA ANA SYSTEM OF 
STREAMS IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA 
By George B. Culver and Carl L. Hubbs. 
We present below a list of the species of fishes occurring in the 
coastal streams of California from the Malibu to the San Luis Rey. 
These streams form what may be known as the Santa Ana System, 
as they contain the same species, though at present several of the 
streams are not connected with each other. The species are few, but 
the individuals are numerous.
