JP Myers 1975 Journal Transsects 1,3,5 10 July (Cont) [illegible] few meters of a patch of another. This is particularly true for the areas of regular and pronounced polygonization. Unfortunately, it is this small scale variation in the composition of transect units in which I am interested.

We had gotten every late about because of possible trip to Verde River (aborted). I then went to the head of transect 4 + began sampling (1155) Walking from O of transect 2 to O of transect 4 I necessarily cut across a large wet Dupontia-Eriodorum meadow which spreads on both sides of Verde creek. There were numbers of Eriochloa and & foliaceus present; unfortunately it is a habitat which is not well represented in our transects. Both species were moving in small groups, but they were dispersed over much of the area. Thus this enumeration #’s could have been considerable. The question is whether I should quickly throw up a transect through here. Had we placed all transects randomly, as we did not at FAP’s instigation, we would at least have some representation of this habitat, perhaps. Running #4 one interesting observation → there appears to be a pocket near the 18-20 region (and beyond) which is phenologically behind most other areas, in that Eriochloa persist, and C. alpina was displaying, etc. However there
