DESCRIPTION OF PLATES. 

 Plate VIII. 



Fig. 1. Islet off Eiastern Franklin, showing the granitic 

 platform with a small cap of consolidated sandstone at one end. 

 The slope in the foreground is a travertine limestone pavement in 

 process of decay. Frankenia fruticulosa, accompanied with Dan- 

 tJionia setacea, is being invaded by Stipa teretifolia, Frankenia 

 paucifiora, Threlkeldia diffusa, etc. Large patches of 3Ieseinhryan- 

 themum australe present. 



Fig. 2. Area on south coast of Eastern Franklin, showing sand 

 drifting away from ^nd exposing travertine pavement. The blown 

 sand is held by Nitraria Schoeheri. The mounds in the foreground 

 are formed by Frankenia paucifiora, which holds the sand forming 

 mats up to 2 ft. in diameter. Beyond Bhagodia crassifolio shrub- 

 land with occasional travertine pavements. In the middle distance 

 is another ''blow-out" area with Nitraria, Frankenia paucifiora, 

 and Salsola kali.
