Spent the day in the field with Dr. von Degen. We first went to Soroksár (Šorokšar), and walked to the Danube, and then had boat take us over to the Island of Csepel. This is an imperial game preserve, but Dr. von Degen has a permit to use it.
It is a "sand - pusta", very similar to the larger and more distant sand pusta at Nagy Nyir ("Nádži Nýr"), but it has had some scotch pine [[insertion]] ^ and [[underlined]] Robinia pseudoacacia [[/underlined]] [[/insertion]] set out on it, and this of course changes it.
Dr. von Degen wants seeds of [[underlined]] Helianthus [[/underlined]] and [[underlined]] Cuscuta [[/underlined]]
