Childs 1957 Transact #2 June 18 Pitnegea River, Cape Sabine, Alaska John Koranda and I set this transect out in the polygon area on the west side of Lorn Marsh. This transect runs through high center polygons composed of peat and cotton, according to Koranda. The kind of plants to be found here such as an acid soil type. Sphagnum is abundant. 0 to 2 run out into carex flat vegetation. June 19 Set traps at 1430 12 July T_2 10.0 sets on top of a large mound at the begin- of a peat-polygonized area. Line runs 2230. Lithod back of cabin bears 3000. Interopon Owl Ridge bears 2900. T_2 0.0 bears 3400 to Interopon Owl Ridge 450 to Lithod. This line starts in good Sedge. Willow Wet meadow- runs to 1.4. It then goes into polygonized peat in a mixture of Muddy and Tasselsheet Meadow- with Sedge Wet meadow mixed and occasionally some Sedge and Arctophila marsh. The vegetation is much like T, but there are some well developed, flat-topped, high center polygons at the far end. The troughs of these are wet, some with good sized pools with marsh around the edges. There is greater depressing, therefore, greater cover here but no mire.
