[[underline]]Capistrano[[/underline]]

[[underline]]July 9 to 14[[/underline]] - Trapping & collecting at Capistrano.

[[underline]]July 15[[/underline]]. Drove up Trabuco Canyon into the Santa Ana Mts. to 2300 feet. Entered the mountain canyon at 1300 feet where Upper Sonoran species cover north slopes & followed up beautiful wooded creek bottom about 5 or 6 miles to near end of wagon road - to the first grove of [[underline]] Pseudotsuga macrocarpa [[/underline]] at 2300 feet. There were other scattered trees & groves of it higher up, but no amount of timber anywhere in sight on the mts. We could see 3 small groves of pine along the crest of the range & Forest Ranger Robbins said it was coulter pine, as it looked to be. He said there were no other pines on the mts. but reported a white oak (probably englemani) higher up and the golden cup oak (Chrysopsis) and said there were a few California laurel (Umbellularia) in the canyon. He thinks there are some junipers over by Hot Spring, but is not quite sure. For lists of chaperal see not book.
