Quelques notes sur le plancton marin recueilli en 1953, par M. G. Ranson, dans la baie de Nhatrang-Cauda (Viet Nam)

Mr. G. Ranson found a small collection of plankton in Nha Trang (Vietnam), during a mission in the Far East. The samples were harvested in the Bay of Cauda at a water depth of 15-20 m. The author examined a number of samples kept in formalin, extremely rich in diatoms and in good condition. The group of pelagic copepods has been the most carefully studied.

La végétation terrestre des collines de Cauda (Nhatrang)

The comparative study of the vegetation of the hills of Cauda, in their unprotected and protected parts shows that on the unprotected part the vegetation is of the maquis type with the absence of the arborescent stratum and the shrub stratum is often spiny. On the contrary the protected part presents a development of the arborescent stratum; but the floristic composition of the two parts is not very different many species are identical. The evolution towards the climax seems slow on these rhyolite hills with the semi-protection.
