Soil deptlis wcu-o tested at distances of 48 yards along the transect. Tho 
quartz fragments in the soil of tliis transect and the following one made the 
work with tlie auger difficult. As a result full reliance cannot, unfortunately, 
be placed in the ligures recorded.

The area chosen was the side of a stony myall ridge formed by a quartz 
blow. On the lower levels the ridge became a loamy flat which carried 
all the sagobush plants counted during this survey. As in the previous transect 
the great majority of the shrubs wore dead. 
Acacia aneura (medium leaved tree) 
Acacia sp. (myall) 
Cassia eremophila .... 
Kochia sedifolia 
Kochia pyramidata 
Dead shrubs 
The soil depth tests resulted as follows : —
