Abstract
THOUGH much has been written on the Big Trees of the Sierra Nevada and the Redwoods of the Californian Coast Range, the subject of these impressive examples of links with the past is by no means exhausted. It was my good fortune to wander in several Redwood groves in the spring of this year. Through the generosity of Dr. J. C. Merriam of the Carnegie Foundation and under B, abnormal shoot of Sequoia sempervirens (size). the expert guidance of Prof. Ralph W. Chaney of the University of California, Berkeley, visits were paid to the large groves north of San Francisco; and as guests of Prof. G. J. Peirce of Stanford University to the Big Basin south of San Francisco near the southern limit of the Redwood belt.
