A mile from camp we passed the little town of [[red pencil underline]] Dobbins [[/red pencil underline]] at about 2000 feet altitude, where we left the last trace of [[underline]] Pinus sabiniana [[/underline]], [[underline]] Quercus lobata [[/underline]] , [[underline]] Q. douglasi [[/underline]], [[underline]] Ceonothus cuneatus [[/underline]], & their accompanying forms.  Saw large fig trees & Catalpas in Dobbins door-yards.

Began climbing [[strikethrough]] & a mile [[/strikethrough]] 1 to 4 miles [[red pencil underline]] east of Dobbins [[/red pencil underline]] struck beside abundance of Pinus ponderosa & Libocedrus decurrens, Pseudotsuga, Pinus lambertiana, Cameobotia foliolosa, Acer macrophylla, Quercus Californicus, Q. chrysolepis, Q. wizlizeni, Tumion, Arbutus, Ceonothus thyrsiflorus ? (big bush), C. prostratus, Quercus densiflora, Cornus nuttallii, & Abies grandis? at 2300 to 2800 feet. In other words we struck pure Transition zone at about 2500 feet on west slope 2 miles east of Dobbins. 
Farther along in cold N.E gulches Pachestema is common, Alnus, Aquilegia & other plants from Canadian zone. 
Came down again to [[red pencil underline]] Ballards Bar [[/red pencil underline]] on N. Yuba R. at 1800 feet, but in the narrow gulch found only Transition species common.
