Concerning the lichens, vide below in connection with the next station. 



The great morainic plain along Moraine Fjord. 



This is the largest space of quite level ground that I have seen in South Georgia. 

 Only along the edge is there a tussock association (PL 5: 1), otherwise the vegeta- 

 tion may be described as a grass-tundra with dominant mosses, Polytrichia and others, 

 forming low, compact cushions and giving a brownish or yellowish colour to the 

 whole plain. Especially is this true of the interior parts, where there is also a small 

 lake receiving the water from the Hamberg Glacier. When the snow is melting 

 large stretches of the plain are soaked with water, but easily get dried up again by 

 the strong winds that sweep unhindered over this place.
