1 mi W Hyampom, 1200 ft, Trinity Co., Calif.
we photographed it.
Along much of the way, we were in sight
of Hayfork Dally and observed scattered
patches of chaparral along the southwest
and south slopes. This, of course, suggests
the probable means whereby the burn-lit
might move upward and reach the
chaparral at 5700 feet where we noted
this species on June 19. It would be of
interest and value to have an aerial map
of this region to determine the interspersion
and distribution of chaparral in the main
coniferous forest mass which covers
most of the area.
Our camp at Hyampom is located at the base
of the north wall of the more or less enclosed
basin in which the town is situated at
the east end. In the eastern part of the basin,
Hayfork Creek joins its south fork of the
Trinity River, the latter continuing west-
ward. The flat of the basin is largely
glass-covered. To either side of the main
stream of the river are cobble washes
which are probably filled at high water
in spring. Temporary ponds are scattered
along these washes along the main
stream as well as along the washes,
