Resumo

T HE Mono Craters are a unique series of obsidian domes and coulees south of Mono Lake, in eastern California.From an undulating, pumice-covered plain their steep slopes rise nearly 2700 feet above the surrounding country and reach an altitude of 9I69 feet at the summit of the highest dome.Were the range not dwarfed by the neighboring Sierra Nevada, "it would be far-famed for its magnificent scenery as well as for its geological interest."'
