'This entailed the developnlent of a method which would allow detailedstudy of the peat with the organic elements in their in situ position. Thequantitative results, categorized according to botanical relationships, were usedto indicate the structural differences in the samples studied, and also to elucidatethe vegetational succession of the samples. Relationships between subsurfacedetails and surface vegetation are discussed.
