. The vegetation of the Siberian-Mongolian frontiers (the Sayansk region). Botany; Botany. Along the banks of the Sisti-kem about Tshebertash there appear larches of a lighter green, constantly increasing in number southwards, until they are seen to predo- minate in the Devonian territory, over large tracts of land, even mostly quite pure. The larches here are frequently large and vigorous, attaining a height of 25—30 m., measuring towards 1—2 m. in diameter at a man's height. Associated with the larch there also appear some other plants, of which may especially be mentioned: Sediim purpureiim

From the transition zone between tlie taiga and the wooded steppe region. The Sisti- liem valley about 800 m. above sea-level. Along the banks and in thickets the characteristic arbuscular plants here were represented by Prunus Padus, Sorbus Aucuparia, Alnus fruticosa, Ribes pubescens, Ribes nigrum, Atragene sibirica, and in sand along the river-banks Dianthus superbus and Epilobium latifolium are frequent. The lower parts of the river basin thus chiefly contain larch-wood with smaller steppe areas. This is the genuine wood-steppes, dry open areas with scattered open larch- forest, (and sometimes pine) intermixed with various foliferous trees. Already at Ust Sisti-kem the climate is rather dry, which is also apparent from the great number of locusts to be found here. Among conifers the larch predominates, but in more 79.
