localities which had been shown to be interesting from other 

 points of view. The localities chosen were : 



(i) Crimson Plain and Bank. 



(2) Ridge and Furrow. 



The following chart (Fig. 3) sets forth the results :

Showing the comparative weights, in grams, of water transpired per ioo sq. cm. of surface of Salictrnia 



growing on the Crimson Plain (C. P. ); Salicornia from the Bank (B. ....); Salicornia 



from the Furrows (F. ) ; and from the Ridges ( — • • - — ). 



Summarising the results of this experiment, it would appear 



that 



(1) Plants from the Bank transpire more rapidly than 

 similar plants from the Crimson Plain. 



(2) Plants from the Ridges transpire at a markedly higher 

 rate than those from the Furrows. It should be noted, 

 however, that the Ridge plants were distinctly more 

 crimson than those from the Furrows, though care was
