PATCHES OF RESURRECTED HERBAGE IN CLEARED AREAS. 



Contrast the bare ground still covered with ash round aboitt. The roots from which these 



plants grew up were buried for three years until the ash was swept 



away by the Great Flood of July, 1915.

DETAIL FROM THE PATCH OF RESURRECTED HERBAGE SHOWN ABOVE. 



The high water mark of the flood, which washed off the ash after it had buried the plants 



for three years, is plainly shown by the line on the bank and on the trees. The 



vegetation comprises a considerable number of species, see text page 196.
