-Squaw Valley's sloping level is magnificent with its wood of white oaks (Quercus Douglasii and lobata), the individuals of good size and filling the area so as to make a real wood, billowy with crowns. -Nicotiana glauca not on east side of San Joaquin Valley at all, says Ralph Hopping. -Platamus racemosa, appears in canyons soon after leaving plains but not seen on San Joaquin plains. -W.G. Wright of San Bernardino spoken of by Hopping as a beetle-collector says he has a reputation for unreliability as to stations, having a desire to conceal new finds and so giving false data. Hopping suggests that his plant localities may be likewise open to suspicion.
