Petelka 1943 June 12 Lonise Beegum, 1650 ft., Tehama Co., Calif. habitat of the two types is fairly extensive because of the general interspersion. June 13. This morning I left camp toward the north- wester along the road to Beegum, continuing for about 1/2 mile to the top of a ridge separating the drainage system of our camping locality from that of Beegum proper. From the Beegum road on the top of this bridge there forest service is a road continuing to the south over the ridge to the north of our camp and into the next valley. I hunted along this road, spending most of my time, however, near the top of the ridge in Adenostoma around higher chaparral, and in a black oak grove. The south slope, in contrast with the north slope (actually southwest vs. northeast), is vegetated with a greater variety of associational types. The lower part of the slope is covered with blue oak- digger firs - manzanita as is the valley flat. Mixed into this are patches of a high, dense chaparral such as is absent on the north slope, consisting of manzanita, Arceosarpus belutoides, Enceliptegon Rhus diversifolia Scrub oak, and several other species as yet unidentified. Mixed in also along the edge
