Transect XII. 
This was mapped in country carrying mulga of a broader leaved form. 
This type is known locally as Silver Leaved mulga. It retains in the adult 
leaf the remains of the bladdery hairs found on the young leaves of all varieties. 
The character is most marked in new growth and on the leaves of trees growing 
near water. ® 
The presence of a number of poverty bushes— a species ^A'hich in general 
prefers sandy situations— was the most interesthig feature of tlie transect.

Transect XIII, 
The transect lino ran down a low slope below a quartz blow. The sod 
was littered vlth fragments of quartz. The slope ultimately became a samphire 
flat. Similar country nearby had formeily carried sage, sagobush and blue- 
bush but it had suffered badly in the bad seasons and practically all the plants 
were dead. The area selected did not represent the worst, though a very 
high proportion of the shr-ubs were dead.
