Patelka 1947 Oct. 7 Loni E. Wedderburn, 50 feet elev., Curry Co., Oregon beneath and among the shrubs. Oct. 8 This morning was cloudy and windy with threat of rain. I left about 6:45 and hunted until about 11. During that time there were occasional sprin- kles, but toward noon the rain came more heavily and steadily. Since then it has been raining almost continuously with an increasing wind which now (7:15 p.m.) is driving the rain against the shack's window and rocking the shack slightly on its precarious base. My route led through a small valley cut by an alder and willow-bordered stream. Toward the inner end of the valley and along its eastern slopes there were extensive areas of coniferous timber. Some impressively large Douglas firs, laurels, and madrones were seen. Later I climbed the northern slopes of the valley and swung back along its west side to return to camp. Along the upper parts of the west-side draws there were patches of Corylus chaparral with thickets of willow, Holodiscus, Corylus, and other tall shrubs filling the main cut, often 10-15 foot with steep slopes. Scattered along the upper reaches each of the large draws were individuals of Pseudotsuga and Umbellularia. On the valley flat, both Stellar and scrub gayo were present. Here, and for that matter everywhere else that at least scattered, good sized conifers
