_Eschscholtzia_ was in bloom at time of excavation. Stomach of

finely comminuted green material, probably poppy leaves, strongly
colored with yellow from blossoms. No summer growth here in 1918.

Six species represented, some only by leaves or flowers and not by
seeds. _Such storage is never in large quantity._ The fresh storage
material was weighed after becoming air dry. This illustrates a late
spring condition, storage running low.
