R. Greene Apr 26, 1953 Left Fresno at 10:45 with Keith Morley in route to the east side of the Sierra Nevada. We traveled via the Kern River Canyon and Walker Pass to June Paris. Stopped at the Cow Flat Creek locality on Kern River Canyon, 100 yards up the road from Cow Flat Club there is a spring which soon at this time of year into a small cascade down the steep rock face. Under rocks at the foot of the fall found 8 what Batocarpus and also some smaller ones. This appear to be B. alternata, not the same as the underlined from which occurs on the talus slide along Cow Flat Creek. We arrived at June Paris in the late afternoon and drove up the creek. Husted a little along the creek and set up camp at June Paris Campground, 7mi to June Paris, Kings Co., Calif. May 27 The creek is fast flowing and though seldom more than 6' wide, is often 2 or 3' deep and on a few wider spots has pools up to 4' deep. The stream flows in a step-walled depression 20-30' wide and this in turn is set on a similar shaped depression some 150 yards wide and 70'dep. As a result of this double recessed position and more particularly because of the dense superior vegetation, very little direct sunlight reaches the creek. Bottom on the creek average 1.2 acre or diameter. The banks are for the most part undercut and
