In the following account, a practicable and simple method for measuring soil temperature is described, and data are given showing the temperatures at various depths below the surface in wet and dry soils. The survival of the vegetation is discussed with special reference to lignotubers (Kerr, 1925) and to the resistance of seeds to high temperatures.© Blackwell Science Ltd.
