The Valley of Nahuatzin is a long, irregular basin among the wooded hills & its drainage is to a small stream flowing down by Uruapan.

The hills rise to a height of from 9000 to 9800 ft. about this basin & are covered by a fine growth of Pinus montezumae. On north slopes of the higher hills are some Abies religiosa & Alnus & abundant Lupins of rank growth under their shade.

On Oct. 15th we returned to Patzcuaro, taking a [[strikethrough]] boat [[/strikethrough]] large canoe with 4 paddlers from the shore of the lake next Nahuatzin.
