Nature Notes From Crater Lake
Volume 17, 1951
Special Numbers of Nature
Notes
By George C. Ruhle, Ranger-Naturalist
The Crater Lake Natural History
Association is planning a series of special numbers to fill the demand
for information on a variety of subjects in Crater Lake National Park
and Oregon Caves National The Golden-mantled Ground Squirrel in Crater
Lake National Park," is already in the hands of the lithoprinter. It has
been written by former ranger naturalist Dr. Ralph R. Huestis of the
zoology staff of the University of Oregon. Dr. Huestis was famous for
his lodge talks which sparkled with wit, cleverness of expression, and
dependable fact. This product of his pen, a subject with which he
delighted so many park audiences, will please the reader in similar
ample degree.
In this issue, a pen and ink sketch of
quillwort has been reproduced from an original by Dr. Charles Yocom. Dr.
Yocom was assigned the task of drawing 120 different plants of the park
and the Caves area this summer. These will be parts of two small
portfolios on popular and common flowers of these areas. Other brochures
will deal with birds, trees, Indians of the region, and mammals. At the
present time, nine have been prepared or projected for the coming three
years.
