One will hardly fail to notice Hiat wliile the forest line at the White Mountains is toleral)ly well marked (at a heifrlit of aliont 4,OHO or feet), it is always succeeded aiiove hy a considerahle area, where the dwarfed spruce or "scruh," strufrfflinff upward with ever diminishing heijrht, conceals the [^^ray rocks in a covering of uniform t that they can find their food [ilant all through the lower alpine region. Xcvertheless, the contrast between the occasional and unwilling visitor and the swarms which in their season crowd the upper jilateaus is very marked and significant. The localities where I have found them most al)un<lant are the successive sedgy plateaus which Hank the upper part of the carriage road on Mt.
