appears below. The new exposure is very sunny, and therefore 
unfavorable to Deschampsia. Perhaps also its root system may 
not be disturbed without serious injury. Two species of Lechea 
and one of Hieracium (H. venosum) are the next most plentiful 
hillside plants which did not survive transplanting. We have no 
explanation for this. Large clumps of Lupinus perennis and 
Tephrosia virginiana occur at one part of the hill. It seems strange 
Fic, 2.—On the apparently denuded area many plants are already well developed 
that no transplanted specimens were found. The remaining species 
of the hill were not numerous enough to give any large chance of 
their finding a possibility of survival on the new ground. 
The meaning of this record is in several respects very clear. 
(1) An area denuded in winter or early spring receives few if any 
disseminules by any agency save that of man and domestic animals. 
Plants are not traveling at that season. (2) An apparently denuded 
area may contain viable fragments of a rather large flora. (3) If 
the disturbance occurs during the resting season of vegetation, new 
plants will arise from many fragments which would perish at any 
other season. For the resting plant contains nourishment to enable
