Evidence of the Presence of an Edapho-Biotic Factor in the Problem of Serpentine Tolerance

One of the important problems in plant ecology is the problem of narrow or restricted distribution of plants to certain types of environment or to certain geographical regions. It concerns not only endemism in the narrow technical sense of the word, i.e., the presence of peculiar characteristic species in certain geographical areas, big or small, but it concerns plant distribution in general. Thus, for instance, in a desert area adjacent to agricultural land, the characteristic desert species do not spread into the cultivable land beyond the limits of the desert environment in spite of the greater productive capacity of the agricultural land. Halophytes that grow in saline habitats do not manage to proceed into the neighboring non-saline areas. The ecology of serpentine areas and the characteristic flora and vegetation of serpentine soils afford a suitable field for the study of such a problem, owing particularly to the fact that species of the same genus or at least biotypes or ecotypes of a species complex distribute themselves in a somewhat selective manner among serpentine and nonserpentine areas, which renders their study of particular interest not only from the ecological, but also from the genetical standpoint. Thus, this type of study has drawn the attention of several workers in the United States, as well as in other parts of the world. A review of the literature dealing with the various aspects of this subject is given by Whittaker (1954), Walker (1954), and Kruckeberg (1954), all of whom have contributed to the elucidation of the problem. Walker (1954) concluded that serpentine soils are characterized by low contents of total and adsorbed calcium, high magnesium content, and high proportions of chromium and nickel. Such peculiarities render these soils infertile for the growth of most plants. He gave experimental evidence that favours the view that low calcium is the basic cause of the peculiarity of serpentine soils, though he admitted that other factors like the general low levels of major nutrient elements (especially N and P), alkalinity, low available molybdenum, and toxicity of nickel and chromium are of secondary importance. Serpentine plants are, therefore, principally tolerant of such soil characters. Kruckeberg (1951), working on the growth response of strains of Streptanthus glandulosus and finding that non-serpentine strains show a marked intolerance to serpentine soil, interpreted the behaviour of this species complex as being on the verge of becoming a strict serpentine endemic by the gradual biotype depletion of the few nonserpentine biotypes of this species. The same author (1954) concluded that plants may be restricted to serpentine by intolerance of the more rigorous competition found in non-serpentine plant communities. My attention was drawn to two species of Emmenaxmthe (Hydrophyllaceae), namely E. penduliflora Benth. and E. rose (Brand.) Constance. The former, E. penduliflora, occurs in the central North Coast Ranges of California and south through the South Coast Ranges and southern California to western Arizona and northern Baja California. The latter, E. rosea, is a much more restricted species, occurring only in California from the Mount Hamilton Range of the South Coast Ranges south to Mount Pinos in the Tehachapi Mountains. From Dr. J. R. Sweeney and Dr. Helen K. Sharsmith, both of whom have intimate field knowledge of these two species, I obtained the following information as to their distribution and edaphic preferences in the California Coast Ranges. According to Dr. Sweeney, E. penduliflora occurs frequently in the Coast Ranges, appearing constantly and with fair abundance on one-year-old burns in chaparral on shallow, rocky, non-serpentinous soils in association with Quercus wislizenii, Q. dumosa, Adenostorna fasciculatum, Photinia arbutifolia, Ceanothus spp., and Arctostaphylos spp. (Sweeney 544, 625, 714, 10532). Emmenanthe rosea, however, occurs only infrequently both as to stations and individuals, appearing as far as known only on serpentine soils, in 1 This work was done at the Botany Department, University of California, Berkeley, under a Fulbright Fellowship award during the academic year 1953-1954. The writer wishes to extend his appreciation and thanks to Professor Herbert L. Mason for initiating the problem and for stimulating discussions; to Dr. J. R. Sweeney for supplying the seeds and useful information; to Dr. Helen K. Sharsmith for allowing the use of her notes; to Dr. W. L. Colwell of the California Forest and Range Experiment Station and his collaborators at Middletown for help in obtaining soil samples; and to those members of the University of California Botany and Plant Nutrition departments who offered help and facilities during this work. 2 All specimens cited are to be found at the University of California Herbarium.

Teaching Chemistry in Postwar Burma

WHEN the opportunity to go to Burma on a Fulbright Fellowship arose in the late spring of 1951, I immediately made application. To me, Burma had several advantages as a country to be visited: first of all, it was a region of considerable interest because of my hobby of growing orchids; many fine orchid species grow in Burma and some of the first plants I obtained years ago came from Burma. I could imagine myself out in the jungle, collecting my own orchid plants—perhaps even finding some rare new species, and becoming famous! The second and very practical advantage of Burma was that competition for appointments there was not as keen as for positions in European countries. A third and perhaps ulterior motive lay in the fact that Burma was a long distance away and in going and coming I could see a great deal of the world not otherwise accessible on the budget ...

Excavations in the Athenian Agora: 1949

T 5HE fourteenth season of exploration conducted by the American School of Classical Studies in the Athenian Agora will be memorable chiefly as having witnessed the actual beginning of work on the reconstruction of the Stoa of Attalos to house the finds from the excavation. Less spectacular but no less essential to the completion of the enterprise was the progress made in the systematic final exploration of the vast area opened up hastily in the 30's; such work this year was confined to the area to the west of the Areopagus. Apart from the field work, steady progress was made in the study and publication of material brought to light in earlier campaigns, and the mechanics of study were greatly eased by the reorganization of the records both in Athens and in Princeton. This season, as ever, the undertaking in the Agora is indebted to the officials of the School for their active interest on its behalf. A particular obligation must be acknowledged to Professor Carl W. Blegen who during his directorship in 1948-49 conducted the negotiations that have begun to make a reality of the long dreamed-of Agora Museum and who also, both in Washington and Athens, smoothed the way for the program of Fulbright fellowships that has already so vitally affected the work in the Agora as in other departments of the School's activities. We owe much also to the skill and devotion of our Greek technical staff. Mr. Sophokles Lekkas, our chief foreman, to name but one, has shown amazing energy and ingenuity in mastering the technical problems raised by the work on the Stoa of Attalos. Field work was directed by Mr. Eugene Vanderpool, Mr. Rodney S. Young, and Miss Margaret Crosby, for lesser periods by Mr. G. Roger Edwards, Mrs. Evelyn Lord Smithson, and Miss Evelyn B. Harrison. I am again indebted to Mr. Vanderpool for assuming charge of the Agora during my absences in America. Mr. John Travlos as Architect of the School's Excavations devoted practically the whole of his time to the Agora and above all to the Stoa of Attalos, concerning himself with the solution of the many problems that were still outstanding regarding the original design of the building and beginning to grapple with the practical problems of the reconstruction. Miss Marian Welker as staff artist completed a set of rendered drawings and water colors of the Odeion and many drawings of vases for various studies by members of the staff. We are once more deeply indebted to Miss M. Alison Frantz who has again given freely of her time and skill to attend to our photographic needs. In addition to the
