Nov. i6, 1914 Revegetation of Range Lands 117 



were studied in 1907 before the stock was turned on to them. Full notes 

 were taken on about 300 plots, i meter square. The lands selected were 

 of the open, parklike type, with a scattered growth of whitebark pine 

 and occasional clumps of alpine fir. Mountain bunch-grass was the 

 predominating herbage species. Certain portions of these ranges were 

 seriously depleted, and the usual succession of early, aggressive annual 

 weeds had replaced the original perennial type. At this altitude the 

 annual plants are of little value for forage, though grazed to a limited 

 extent in the spring when succulent and tender. On this account the 

 annual plants are not included in Table VI, which gives the results of 

 the two seasons' observations
