on the neighboring slopes, but springs of this character are not com-
mon in the hills of this region.

ALDER SPRINGS (GLENN 1).
Alder Springs are among the few perennial springs of palatable
water in Glenn County. They are situated about 40 miles by road
north of west from Willows. Although they are only mountain
springs of small flow, the locality has long been used as a summer
camping place and hence the springs are well known to many resi-
dents of the county.

PERENNIAL SPRINGS THAT ARE LESS WELL KNOWN.
In addition to the perennial springs that have been separately
described and that are shown on Plate I (in pocket), there are many
that are known locally as watering places on roads or trails, and still
others that are utilized for domestic supply and garden irrigation.
These minor springs are not indicated on the map (PI. I), but some
of them are here mentioned with such information as is available.
In the northeastern part of the State, on the stage road between
Alturas and Cedarville, about 6 miles northwest of the latter place,
there is a spring which yields 2 or 3 gallons a minute of water about
47° in temperature. It is in a ravine at a bend in the mountain
grade a few yards from the roadside and furnishes a convenient
watering place.
On the south side of Pit River, beside the stage road 2J miles
southwest of Canby or 27 miles south of west from Alturas, there
is a rock-walled drinking spring which yields 8 or 10 gallons a minute
of water 59° in temperature. A pipe leads from the spring down the
slope to a horse trough at the roadside 50 yards away.
Several perennial springs of considerable flow issue in the lava
beds south of Tule or Hhett Lake at the north end of the State, but
as they are in an uninhabited region they are little known. One
spring of this character lies near the west end of Medicine or Crystal
Lake, which is 55 miles in a direct line west of Alturas, and another
is situated at the north base of Black Fox Mountain, 17 miles to the
southwest.
In the Lassen Peak region, in addition to the large perennial
springs, several of which have been described among the large cold
springs, there are several minor springs that are of local importance
in this part of the State. One of these is Burney Spring which
issues beside a road along the southern base of Burney Butte. It
yields perhaps 10 gallons a minute and affords a watering place for
range cattle as well as for travelers. Moon Springs, which lie farther
east, about 10 miles south of east from Rising River (Shasta 11,
p. 328), have been improved by piping their flow to troughs for water-
