This is the third of a series of bulletins issued monthly during the season to give information on subjects of interest concerning the natural history of Crater Lake. It is supplemental to the lectures and field trips conducted by the Park naturalist.
Publications using extracts kindly credit the bulletin and author.
For copies, which are free, address the Superintendent or Ranger-naturalist. This online edition of Nature Notes from Crater Lake does not contain the artwork, photography, charts and diagrams which greatly enhance the hardcopy edition. The reader is advised to consult more recent literature to obtain a current understanding of the topic. The improvement of roads in Crater Lake National park, which will probably be completed this year, will be of benefit in other ways than those generally associated with good highways. Not only will the clouds of fine volcanic dust, stirred up by passing machines no longer be a menace and a discomfort, when surfacing and oiling is finished, but improvement in the condition of the plant life beside these roads will follow.
