majority do not exceed 12 inches but all of the truce are low. There are more bushes here than in the Washington region. I never saw so many ferns as here. One finds them everywhere in the open as well as in the secluded places. The geology, I would say, is interesting in that there is a great fault with the granite on one side and various formations butting against it with high vertical edges. All along this fault which is not always a straight line there is a more or less deep valley between the granite and the paleozoic rocks. Generally there are no streams in the valley but there may be ponds and marshes. The great majority of the roots pass away by settlement passage. This irregular valley has the fault in its bottom since the granite rises down one side to meet the limestone, confining a coal formation debris of the other side. Pressed plants until two P.M. and then with other actions. It showed during the day.
