Fossil Plants of Creat Ana

The area known as the Mississippi
embayment Is a low-lying region which
has alternately been submerged and
emerged since Craetceous time-known
as the Age OF Reptiles, over million
years ago. 1t embraces roughly 10000
square miles. In past geologic ages this
region doubtless furnished congenial hab-
itats for several thousand specific types of
plants which we can never hope to know
more than small number. Nearly al,
these types have irrevocably vanished
and this vast area is tenanted TODAY nv
an entirelE new set of plants. The United
States Geological Survey, Department OF
the Interior, has recently published
scientific report by f. w Berry de.crro.
Ing some Of these long-vanished plant,
the fossil remains OF which are found
to-day in many Of the rock formations
The report gives a systematic descrip-
ton OF more than 400 species, In what a re
known as the Wilcox and Midway torma-
lions.
The Wilcox fora lie made UP almost
entirely of plants that lived along the
lagoons and sand dunes. The physical
conditions under which the plants lived
are discussed. and conclusions are
drawn regarding the climate OF the Fo.
Gene period compared with that OF TO-
day in the same region.
A cops OF the report (Profess,onai

Lassen Peak is Not Mount Lassen.


The press dispatches describing the
latest eruptions of Lassen Peak show
a continued tendency to refer to the
volcano as Mount I.assen. Perhaps It
is thought that the name should cor
respond with those of some other
famous peaks of the Cascade Range,
such as Mount Shasta or Mount RAJ
nier. But Iasscn Peak. as the most
active and interesting volcano in the
United States, is especially entitled to
he called by it's own name. and acts of
Congress and Presidential proclama-
tons in creating and recognizing the
Lassen Peak National Forest and Las
sen Peak National Monument have
given the name Lassen Peak a status
of high rank in the geologic annals OF
the Cascade Range. The area has re-
Gently been set apart as the Lassen
Volcanic National Park.
The name T.assen Peak. according to
the United States Geological Survey.
Depa rtment OF the Interior. is the only
authorized form on maps, reports, and
eazetteers. from the Whitney Geo
logical Survey in California, in 1865.
to the Geomorphic map Of California
and Nevada published by the Earth
quake Investigation Commission az
well as on the latest map issued by the
Forest Service.
Peter Lassen. the sturdy pioneer
who guided many an early settler to
the sunny lands OF the Sacramento,
lies buried in lonely grave in Lassen
county. A small. crumbling monu-
ment 80 miles from the peak marks
his final resting place. but his grea ter
and more enduring monuments are the
county and peak named in his honor
by grateful people. The snow
capped Lassen Peak has piloted MANY
an immigrant TO the mountain pass.
In the early days Of the Pacific
Railroad surveys some nious monk
called the peak 81 Joseph's Mountain
but the names Lassen's Peak and las
sens Butte soon came into genera,
use. Whitney has shown the IMAM
prepriateness Of the French term
butte. which. translated exactly means
knoll. As Lassen never owned ,he
