Fig- ures 7 and S. are included, which show only the blue grama and western needle grasses. These are the two most important grasses. Fig. 7.âSquare-meter quadrat in the 100-acre pasture, showing the relationship of Bou- teloua and Stipa. Charted near the close of the grazing season in 1916. Bouteloua gracilis is indicated by B and Stipa comata by 8. from the standpoint of grazing, since they furnish the largest per- centage of the feed. These maps were made in the 100-acre and the 30-acre pastures in 1916 and show the relationship of these grasses before the effects of grazing had become apparent. There is con- siderable difference noted between the same quadrats mapped in 1916 and This difference is mainly in the size of the mats of blue 17 The quadrat maps have been drawn free-hand. In 1918 a pantograph was obtained and tested for charting. However, it has not yet been used for this purpose. Its use in charting has been described bv Hill. See Hill.
