The plants from this region were collected by one of my Cossaks who dated the etiquettes. During my absence Camp XLIV was twice moved very short distances to give better grazing to the caravan animals. The coordinates may therefore be regarded as signifying the whole region in question. At any rate the difference is so insignificant that it does not play any part regarding the places where the different plants were found.
