Examination showedthat all of these plants were hold-overs rather than seedlings. Itseems hardly credible that we could have been so carelessas to have overlooked them if they had put forth new growthin the previous years, for when found they were growmgvigorously, flowering and fruitmg Photograph by B. B. Fulton FIREWEEDS INJURED BY SAND BLAST. The few fireweeds which remain in the plowed field shown on pages 32 and 33 have had a hard time of it, being lopped over and cut to pieces or plastered up by the sand blast. Although this situation would be difficult to account forotherwise, it may not be justifiable to assign resurrection ofdormant roots as the cause for the reappearance of these specieson such shght evidence. But in Eqiiiseium arvense crucialproof, of the ability of the underground parts to retain theirvitality when buried, was furnished when I found an oldrhizome of this species which I had exposed in excavation in1915 that had put forth new shoots the following year. Thishad been lying water-soaked in an old bog for three dug up, all of the plant remains, of which it was a part, Nov., 1918] Recovery of Vegetation at Kodiak 35 were blackened by bacterial action and were unhesitatingly-pronounced dead.
