Analysis by Area. Table 14 1s a Summary of the activity found in all the plants collecte d at each station before and afte r the Mike shot. Counts of all plant parts are incl uded in the averages.

Since landings were not made at either Bogallua or Bogombogo after the shot, there were no collections at these islands. In general, the activity levels of the land plants were lower than those of the algae collected at the same island, but the trend is similar. Plants from those islands closest to and west of the shot island contained the highest activity. Most of the plants at Engebi and Rojoa as well as some at Rigili were either burned or physically damaged after Mike shot. Comparison of counts of damaged and healthy leaves from Rigili plants showed no marked differences between the two, indicating that most of the activity was on the surface of the leaves. ~- 58 - | ~
