We did not see it elsewhere than in the Cascade mountains between latitude 44° and 46°;it is found, however, north of the Columbia, and probably exists along the summit of the Cas-cade range as far south as Mount Pitt, about 42° 40. I did not see it in the Willamette valleyor in the Coast mountains ; it is probably confined to the higher portions of these latter moun-tains, if, indeed, it exists on them. The wood is white, and would, perhaps, be used for timber if it were accessible. As a timbertree, it is, however, far inferior to many other trees which grow in the valleys and on the coastof Oregon. Cones of P. amabilis were brought home, and seeds have been distributed with a view to itsintroduction into cultivation. Should this effort be unsuccessful, it may be obtained fromEngland, where it has been grown from seeds sent home by Douglass.

September 17.— * * On the little prairie which borders one side of the lake are a few trees ofthe silver fir. With a strong and unimpeded growth, it has here attained a magnitude I havenot elsewhere seen. It rises in denser and more symmetrical cones than any other conifer wehave met with. The altitude of the largest is more than a hundred feet; the base of the coneformed, the branches resting on the ground not more than twenty. The branches are so thickas to prevent all access to the trunk without a vigorous use of the hatchet; and during thepouring rain of the last four day3, we have always been able to find
