The lower course of Witch Creek winds through grassymeadows with a bottom of fine lava gravel and sand. In this part of the stream fishesare excessively abuudant, chiefly suckers and chubs. As already noticed, the suckersare here infested by a very large parasitic worm, but no worms were seen in thechubs. Witch Creek has at its mouth a temperature of about 75° F. Shoshone Lake (elevation feet) has a length of about 6i miles and a width ofone-half to 4 J miles, it being dumbbell shaped or constricted in the middle. Its area isabout 12 square miles. At the the upper and smaller lobe of the lake is Sho-shone Creek, fed by numerous hot springs and geysers. No hot springs exist on the Bull. U. S. F. C. 1889.—(To face page 60—1.) Jordan.
