colored mss of floorers I have ever seen. Great masses of these flowers 
extend up to 10,000 feet where they cease abruptly with the oaks, Qa 
the west slope a species of pine climbs up on outlying ridges to about 
7500 feet, Thence to about 10,000 feet is a belt of oak timber wholly 
devoid of pines, Ms about 10,000 foot the cake cease abruptly end the 
pines cam in and form, a scattered forest of scrubby trees ranging 
thence up to the swsstft. An abundant growth of bunch grass end many 
flowers occur within the pine eraa that ore not found elsewhere, A 
good trail leads up through the forest nearly to the limit of the oaks 
end then turns dc mi the east slope, A snail branch trail turns aside

trouble In riding sy horse to the foot of the rocky ridge forming the 
peak and within about. 150 feet of the top, There I tied my horse to a 
t 
pine and followed the trail tip to the very summit. There I ms sur¬ 
prised to find an accounting for the trail I had followed in seeing 
that the extreme sumit is evidently used as a place of sacrifice to 
Some of the ancient dlcties. 
The extreme sumit consists of a narrow ridge of rocks with a small 
rounded, partly level spec© a few steps across at the extreme top and 
connected directly with a narrow rids? of rocks and. earth extending 
to the south for some distance at only a few feet lower elevation. To 
the north, east, and west the summit thus stands up like a projecting 
knob of rook with scattered stunted pines on the steep sides and along 
the ridge to the south, The top of the knob in overgrown with small 
bushes, grasses, and flowering herbs -wherever the crevices and 
Shelves in the rock contain soil sufficient to nourish them, bub is 
free from trees. On this bare rooky peak or knob I found gathered the 
feathers of scores of turkeys and a rude semicircular shrino of roughly
