Oct. 12 Emmiti to NW Nevada.
The south end of the Warner Valley is formed
by a cross ridge between this range and the
main Warner Mts., which fact further
attests to the probable presence of the califor-
mica type.
Along the Calif.-Nev. line, to the east of
the three lake beds in eastern Modoc County,
there is a long mountain range along the
crest of which juniper woodland occurs.
It becomes more barren southward with
only scattered patches of woodland at the
lower end of Lower Lake. Then, along the road
across the state line, toward Gerlach, one passes
out of the main valley of the three lake beds
across a pass along which there is juniper
woodland. This would seem to be another
avenue of dispersal from the main Warner
Mountain axis. To the south of the Gerlach
road (route 81), more or less
parallel to it and running
in a southeastward direction is a tongue of
juniper woodland extending 15 miles or
more into Nevada. About 2/3 of the distance
between the state line and Gerlach, we
passed over another low pass, on the east
side of which there was sparse juniper
woodland. From this pass we had our
first full view of the Granite Range, a
