EVERMANN, PH. D. Ichthyologist of the U. S. Fish Commission. The glacier stream comes striding down With roar and spring from echoing steeps, Straight from the heights of yon snow crown, Where, 'twixt ridged walls of gray and brown, A serpent glacier downward creeps.

The general direction of the range is north and outh, on the west side of the upper Salmon River valley, in central Idaho. This valley is 6,500 to 7,000 feet above sea-level, and possesses a rich soil which would, under proper climatic con- ditions, prove extremely productive, but the season of warmth is too short to permit the ripening of any cultivated crop. Native grasses, however, grow wdth some luxuriance, and the valley affords good grazing for several months each year. On the right or east side of the valley.
