REED: MEADOW VEGETATION IN NORTHERN CoLorApo 101 
Castilleia sulphurea, Potentilla pulcherrima, Achillea lanulosa, 
Iris missouriensis, Dasystephana Parryi, Dasiphora  fruticosa, 
Agoseris glauca, Carex festiva. 
QUADRAT DETERMINATIONS 
In addition to a general study of the meadows, two 2 m. quad- 
rats were examined in detail according to the plan developed by 
Professor Ramaley in his study of dry grassland (4). Of course 
such small tracts would not contain all the species in the meadow, 
but they had more than one fourth of all the meadow plants. 
TABLE III shows the results of this quadrat study.
