Jan. 28. Remained at Patamban.

Went up from the town on the north slope of the Cerro de Patamban. A large cañada descends this slope and passes near the town. From near the base, firs extend up the slope nearly to the top. Two species of pine occur. One with very small cone and the other with cone similar to that of P. ponderosa. The underbrush is very thick. The slopes are steep and there are no streams. The mountain rises almost from the town, in fact the town is situated on the basal slope  of the mountain.

I think the words cañada and Canadian refer to the Spanish word for "glen", not the country north of the US.
