distance : this orange zone, on closer acquaintance, was found to be a 
mass of Alopecurus fulvus, the well-named Orange-spiked Foxtail grass, in 
enormous profusion and in full flower. In addition to this pure associa¬ 
tion, the same rare grass was growing elsewhere intermixed with Poly¬ 
gonum amphibium in a slight^ higher zone, while Equisetum limosum 
formed dense masses in other portions of the old reservoir-bottom. This 
remarkable abundance of Alopecurus fulvus is noteworthy and of con¬ 
siderable ecological interest. It is a local grass, nowhere abundant as 
a rule, and its present occurrence in such profusion, as a colonizer of the 
new ground laid bare by the abnormally low level of the water in the 
Reservoir, is a subject for speculation.
