Dear Doctor Stephens: We were greatly disappointed that you all could not come to Lagunitas hefore your impending departure for Kentucl^, but we shall try to see the rest of your family while you and Bruce are gone and hope to see you all here soon after your return. Our recent trip to northeastern Ualifornia proved more successful than I had anticipated. I worked with Indians in Flumas, Lassen^ Modoc and Shasta Counties and obtained a large quantity of additional material. The special object of the trip, in addition to the ordinary corrections and additions to vocabularies, was the exact determination of tribal boundaries in the Sagle Lake region and thence north and northwest. In this we were par- ticularly successful. We followed the eastern shore of Sagle Lake northward and incidentally collected a few small shells of several genera for Dr. Dall of the Smithsonian. A few miles north of Sagle Lake we came to Grrasshopper Valleyâ» an extensive desert flat about 12 miles in length. Thence we continued northward to Hayden Hill and followed Willow Creek northward to Big Valleyâan extensive sagebrush plain in different parts of which we camped, working three or four tribes. We visited Adin, Bieber, Lookout, Pittville, McArthur, Pall Biver Mills, Burney, Hot Springs at Big Bend of Ht Biver^ ⢠B« S. ⢠⢠1 4 I ^ / '. : 'â i 1 !*â Montgomery Creek. Ingot, and so on, down
