favourable situations, such as on northern slopes, there also still occur small pieces of 

 woodland scenery consisting of spruce, silver-fir, pine, and isolated cedars. Of foliferous 

 trees may especially be noted here: 



Belula pubescens, Betula verrucosa, Alnus fruticosa, Populus tremula, Populus 

 laurifolia, Prunus Padus, and a few others. Rather large stretches of the wood here con- 

 sist nearly exclusively of larch, where the ground is light and, open and easy to pass 

 through.

 ting the general character of the vegetation at Ust Sisti-kem.
