On the 19th of August 1 left Kanab for the Uinkaret Plateau, 
< ( 
Reaching Pipe Spring, Lu miles southwest of Kanab, I was rejoiced 
to find Mr, William H. Holmes, who had come to join me end co-ope- 
rate in the work. Leaving Pipe Spring, we pushed across the desert 
to the south we st ward, and in two days more made camp at the base of 
Mount Trumbull, on its southwest side. Preparations for a protracted 
camp were made and nearly four weeks were occupied in making excur- 
sions almost daily to all surrounding parts within one or two days* 
march. The Uinkaret Plateau was ^uite thoroughly examined, 
*r x y 
During our stay at Mount Trumbull Mr. Holmes's ma.Tical oencil was 
ever busy. Large and elaborate sketches of the panoramas presented 
from Mounts Trumbull, Logan, and Emma; of the splendid vista of the 
Toroweap Valley, and of the superlative spectacle of the Grand Canon 
as seen from Vulcan's Throne, were made in rapid succession. 
From the Uinkaret we returned to Kanab and proceeded thence to 
the Kaibab . I went there to visit those portions of it which I had 
not hitherto seen, and to review portions seen but not appreciated 
years before, Mr, Holmes devoted himself to making sketches of the 
chasm , Among .them is a panorama of the Canon from Point Sublime. 
Tne studies on the Kaibab were of the same general nature as those of 
tne Uinkaret, and had their bearing on the geological history and 
evolution of the district. 
Returrung oc Kanab, Mr. Bodfish and his assistants were sent north 
ward to Salt Lake City, with instructions to return at once to Wash- 
ington. 1 remained with Mr. Holmes in order to make another journey
