The Dicranum spp. formed thick, extensive cushions, and the Lophozia spp. grew woven into these cushions. Grunnavik near Jokulsfjordur (Fig. 27)). Up to a height of 100—200 metres the mountain slopes were partly covered with heather-moor and partly with bog-vegetation or moss-hogs. The stony ridges, situated higher up, which had been formed by stones sliding down from the mountain above, were covered with heath, while the intervening depressions were boggy, and .there along the channels, where the water formed streamlets or issued as springs, the usual "Dy" vegetation consisting of Mniobrynm albicans, Philo- notis, etc., had Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Kolderup Rosenvinge, L.
