The seed sown was a mixture of various remnants from other plats, as follows: Plat 76.—Agropijron tcnerum, Chloris elegans, Bouteloua oli- gostachya, Sporobolus airoides, Ely in its canadensis, Eriocoma cuspidata, Sporobolus cryptan- Agropyron occidentale, and Phaseolus rutusus. Plat 77.—Andropogon saccharoides, Chloris elegans, and Bouteloua Fig. 5.—Diagram of Area A.
