In line with one of the objects of the Crater Lake Natural History Association, namely, "to aid in the distribution of information on all subjects pertaining to the park", this 1954 number of CRATER LAKE NATURE NOTES is offered to the public. Reprinting of articles appearing in this publication is encouraged. It is requested that acknowledgment of the source be made by giving the name of the author and of this magazine.

A dedicated National Park Service naturalist staff has presented a very successful program of talks, field trips, exhibits and other informational service in the park during the past summer. The material presented herein is the result of activities on the part of the staff which are seldom brought to the notice of the public -- the gathering of new information about your park. The results of such efforts serve to document the talks, exhibits and other presentations by the naturalists to the public.

The Crater Lake Natural History Association was founded in 1942 to promote and assist the naturalist program offered the public in the park, to further the investigation of subjects of popular interest and importance and to aid in the distribution of information on all subjects pertaining to the park. Toward this end it sponsors CRATER LAKE NATURE NOTES and operates a publications sales counter, the proceeds from which are used entirely to support this work. A list of items for sale may be obtained by writing to the Executive Secretary, Crater Lake Natural History Association, Box 97, Crater Lake, Oregon.
