Hooper,

Jan. 6,
of Canothus Arctostaphyhus, arbutus,
Aderostema, occasional Roschhus and
thymbellaria. Some shaded canyons
were found to be quite moist at
this time of year; seepage from
soggy ground supplied the necessary
moisture for rather luxuriant growths
of ferns and other mesophytic plants.
On the north side of Mt. Hamilton
(away from Santa Clara Valley) vegeta-
tion is more abundant. More Coulter
pines were noted and, as well, a
short-needled pine with a dark
green foliage and a profile much
like that of Pinus radiata; these
latter pines were few. On this same
side of the mountains was found a
more abundant growth of Adenoxema+
and Canothus ; however, most
exposed slopes were still grass covered.
Along Arroyo Bajo and San Antonio
Creek were occasional junipers - found
chiefly on north and sloped slopes.
The country in here is more today;
places (ie., habitats) where I would
expect to find many Peromyscus trees,
P. californicus, Reognathus californicus,
