As I said before, the lakes of Oregon present an attractive field of study, not only the lakes as they exist today, but the lakes as they have existed throughout geological time. Geologists have hardly scraped the surface of their investigations with reference to the prehistoric conditions in the Warner Valley and in other sections of the southeastern part of the state. It is hoped that the time will come when it will be possible to assemble in one place the large mass of information that now exists in scattered form about these most interesting features of Oregon geography.
