utilized for covering the lowlands in warm regions in other partsof the world, thus reducing the amount of the stagnant water, and inother ways rendering such localities more agreeable. Judging from observations made during the past few j^ears (the mosttrying years upon vegetation that have been experienced in the South-west since it was settled), the writer believes that much of the tree-less desert region might be forested with Eucalypts. At the close ofthe season of 1900, the driest one of which the Weather Bureau has arecord, trees of several species were observed growing without irriga-tion in southern Arizona, antl some of them had not been irrigatedfor many years. Trees of the Red Gum (Euccdijptm rodrata)^ theSugar Gum (E. corynocaly.r)^ and of E. tereticornis^ growing in a neg-lected tract under desert conditions where the ground water vzas about100 feet below the surface, endured the above trying summer.
