Big Lagoon, Humboldt coast. the sense of actual consumption of its tissues but it had been heat-killed,--the effect of intense heat was lethal. There was no doubt about the determination of the sp. since a few small clusters of berries still hung on the bush. The look of the dead bush, its hue and aspect, was quite different from the dead body of the Tamalpair species--A. nummularia, so-called,--or that of A. manzanita. This fact satisfies me that A. tomentosa does not crown-sprout after fire or rather confirms previous records. And these shrubs are A. tomentosa, as sylvical [typical? illeg.] as anything we have in Cal. and very like the shrubs of Ore. and Wash. Nothing on this trip pleased me more than this determination of the reaction of A. tomentosa to fire. [A. tomentosa Cal. Auth. = A. columbiana Piper.]
