" As disintregration proceeds it brings about a decrease in water capac- ity, a decrease in volatile combustible matter, and an increase in the amount of ash. 36 BOTANICAL GAZETTE JANUARY The bog as a habitat for plants differs widely from the other plant habitats of the region in that its substratum has been built by fore- runners of the present vegetation. Owing to the influence of the wind in the production of waves, the bogs are largely wanting on the eastern shores of lakes, and in the cas...e of basins which have been almost completely filled with peat, the open water lies toward the eastern margin. It is well known that bog areas are more liable to late spring frosts than adjoining uplands. This is due to the topography as it affects air drainage, and to the low conductivity of the substratum covering. Under natural conditions it has been found that the areas of cassandra and tamarack dominance are more exposed to late frosts than other societies. Observations in bog areas show that the soil temperatures beneath the several plant societies differ markedly in range.
