Abstract
THE object of this note is to stress the importance of the microbiological factor in the afforestation schemes carried out so successfully by the Forestry Commission in such areas as the Culbin Sands. Through the help of Dr. Ovington, who supplied us with suitable samples, we were able to investigate the bacterial and mycological status of his quadrats in this area. For comparison with the open sand before thatching, we investigated the quadrat in the twenty-year-old tree area. Tables 1 and 2 give the results obtained for samples taken from these quadrats.
