 ON WESTERN PEAKS

WASHINGTON, Sept. 23. (P)- Arctic grasses which mysteriously found their way to mountain peaks of the Western States are among the specimens brought back to the Smithsonian institution for the na- tional herbarium by Prof. A. S. Hitchcock, of the Department of Agriculture, it was announced yes- terday. Some of the specimens were collected on peaks of Mount Massive and Mount Ebert in Colorado, and the only explanation which could be advanced for such growth is that they were carried from the north ern region by glaciers.
 Prof. Hitchcock was sent out by the Federal department to study the distribution of grasses.
