It has been suggested, in connection with the tropical forest about Mount Marivales, in the Lamoa Forest Reserve (province of Bataan, island of Luzon, P. I.; Whitford, '06) where the rainfall is great. Here the difference between the vegetation of a ravine and the adjoining upland is less than in the temperate regions. The principles are, however, the same as those established in the temperate regions of America, Fig. 6. SUCCESSION WITH Destruction of the Buildin

RAVINE AND FLOOD PLAIN \ Development FIG. 6. Showing succession and convergence in a tropical climate. Read from the extremities toward the center. Beneath the word "mountain" is shown the succession of formations with peneplanation; beneath "beach" with the building up of the beach (when it has been built up above high tide, the succession proceeds without physiographic change); above "ravine" and "flood-plain," and above " tidal flats," succession with the development and final destruction of these features. Compiled from Whitford's account, with the assistance of Dr. H. C. Cowles. Whitford's statement regarding the climax forest of this tropical area is as follows (p. 679): "The physiography of the entire mountain is very unstable and therefore the vegetation is temporary. With its (the mountain's) destruction, it will pass to a more and more permanent condition and the vegetative types will be altered wit
