But of course all pos- sible transitions also occur, between moss bog and bog vegetation as well as between moss bog and the vegetation of the banks of streams, all according to the nature of the underlying substratum. As some examples will best show the composition of the moss bogs, the following are given: 1. Seydisfjordur, numerous moss bogs on an almost hori- 36.
