A second and in some places a third series of much lower dunes is met in transect to the west. At the northern end of the complex practically all the white spruce is excessively infected with Ar- ceuthohium pusillum, presenting the most remarkable development of witches' brooms it has ever been my privilege to see. We have here a most remarkable physiographic condition of a dune moving seaward. The trees have mostly germinated at a lower level, and as the sand blows over the rounded top of the "grassy foredune" it forms a gentle lee slope to the west among these trees. As the trees are covered, abundant layering takes place, giving a long-lived and self-perpetuating stand (fig. 7). There.
