Cogswell 1944 Journal 117 Sep. 8 (2 1/2 mi NW) Red Mtn. 5300 ft. To South Dubakella mtn. 5828 ft. 14-12 mi. 5 Hayfork, Trinity Co., Caly. (cont) saw a gray squirrel in a large Jeffrey Pine. I shot at it, but it ran on out along a long limb (not near any other tree). from which Dr. Leopold shot it down. He prepared the specimen. Shortly above this, and still within the forest, the usual chickadees, nuthatches, and a Jay were called up by squeaking - and also 2 warbling vireos (1 collected). 2 cedar waches, 1 Downy woodpecker, were seen. at about 5350 ft. altitude the forest becomes spotty, and the vegetation along the ridge is chiefly manzanita (Arctostaphylos patula), ceanothus cuneatus, Ceanothus cordulatus [in less xeric sites than last], Prunus emarginata, Quercus garryana var. breweri. These are in shrubland or chaparral formation, but easily traversed except some of the taller shrubs. scattered trees of the forest dominants adjacent extend up to the ridge top at various places. From about 5650 or 5700 ft. or up the shrubs are smaller or very sparse to none at all on the most exposed slopes & ridges, which latter have more and more schist rock outcrop as the summit is approached. The whole aspect of this area is one of a dry alpine slope; but scattered low Ceanothus, and several types of suffruticent plants covers up to 10 % or so of it. on the N.-facing slopes the "chaparral" reaches
