 slopes, etc., the dominant species are:

Near Ust Karrfuishto occur large areas of swamps, partly with fresh or nearly fi'esh 



water, paiily with brackish or salt water. There is no outlet to the water, which is 



fresh near the mouth of the small river flowing into the swamps, but at some distance 



from the mouth, the water gradually becomes more saline, with a typical halophilous 



vegetation. Thus, near the mouth of the river, there occur the following plants: Bidens 



tripartitus, Hippuris vulgaris. Ranunculus sceleralus, Eriophoruni angnsiifolium, Veronica 



Anagallis, Utricularia vulgaris, Atropis dislans. Aliopis tenuiflora. ;uul others. Here
