Waltham Creek, 41/2 mi. se Priest Valley, 1850 ft., Fresno Co., Calif. Dec. 25, 1932 Country. There are a few Diggar Pines on the ranch and quite a large number on the higher ridges to the west. Adenostoma fascic-latum covers most of the slopes and ridges hereabouts, particularly those receiving the most sun. Very dense pure stands of Chamise are present. In many places, particularly where there is somewhat more shade than on the exposed slopes Cercocarpus betuloides is growing, also Ceanothus cuneatus. Onx even the hotter slopes there is a growth of Yucca whipplei. On shady, north-facing slopes and in canyon bottoms Quercus dumosa is a dominant type of brush. On the tops of the ridges between grassy open spaces and the Chamise there is a species of Eriogonum which forms a conspicuous part of the vegetation. Some Symphoricarpos (albus?) is intermingled with the other species of brush. There are some Valley Oaks in the meadows hereabouts. During my hunting this a.m. I saw numerous signs of brush rabbits and cottontails and in the more open fields evidence of jack rabbits. Boyers shot a cottontail and saw another up on top a hill to the ne where there is some flat country and a growth of Eriogonum and Adenostoma. Saw a Cutania
