Lerinus trinacroratus 7. Code 1957 20-30 July Pitt Point. In the middle of Warren's lake where 60% of ground is bare Although the vegetation has been pretty well clipped - especially apparent during the writer in the marshy areas where reeds there are great drifts of dead cuttings - the general condition of the vegetation is far from being "mowed down" as it appears at Bassaw after a "high, and off hand" would say on a quiet please there is as much vegetation at Pitt Point right now as there is at Bassaw one year after the decline. There is perhaps slightly more high ground in proportion to marsh area at Pitt Point than at Bassaw, but otherwise the two areas are similar. It is my feeling that the decline in Daubigny between the end of June and the middle of July was due primarily to predation by the heavy concentration of owls and fleas in the area - and especially because of the continual owl activity - did not become of vegetative exhaustion.
