45 31 Members of fourth layer: 1. Salix nigra 2. Fraxinus lanceolata 3. Celtis occidentalis 4. Acer negundo July 3 - Left Halsey for Seneca . July 4 left Seneca for a tramp across the hills to the Dismal River. The morning was sultry after a rain during previous night. For about two mi. south of Seneca the hills are very high and sandy. Bunch grass is develeped to a good degree here and in general the land and vegetation is very much as at Halsey . About five miles south rather conspicuous valleys begin. These valleys are from 300 yds. wide to 1/2 mi. long to 1/2 mi. wide by 2 mi. long. Some farming is being attempted in these valleys, all of which are dry valleys. The native vegetation of these valleys is usuallly dominated by Stipa Comata , with a little S. spartes in mixture. These rather narrow and short valleys give way a little farther south to valleys much wider and longer with much hay land or farms which contiunue until the high hills and ranges near the Dismal are reached. The valleys to the south then gradually lose their importance become much smaller until about 2 mi.
