The 4th annual Natural History Field Expedition con­ ducted by the natural science departments at the Utah State Agricultural College came to a successful close last Sunday evening when the forty-one members of this year's party arrived back in Logan after a nine-day trip of some 1700 miles in four states. The party traveled to Needles, California, by way of Boulder Dam, and return· ed to Utah via Lehman Caves, Nevada. In addition to the actual observation and instruction accomplished in the field, the expedition brought back to the permanent collections of the College 800 plant specimens, 200 speci­ mens of fossils, rocks and ores, and numerous skulls and skins for the Wild Life Department. Plankton samples were taken from several rock tanks in the desert ranges and from Mead Lake. After visiting Silver Reef, Utah, and collecting plants in that vicinity, the expedition moved into the Valley of Fire, Nevada, stopping at the ruins of Lost City enroute. A day later it moved on to Boulder Dam, and thence to Members of Expedition at Gypsum Cave Chloride, Arizona, where the Tennessee-Schuylkill mine was visited. At Kingman, Professor A. A.
