CUTICLE TH ORGANIC TERRAIN AS APPLIED TO COPETOWN BOG

Abstract

A technique of analysis is offered for the isolation of cuticle which was found in peat samples during the course of the preliminary investigation for this work. An identification of the isolated cuticle is developed. This is facilitated by comparative studies with known kinds of cuticle. Extracted cuticle is used in an attempt to interpret and explain the genesis of peat accumulations in the Copetown bog near Hamilton, Ontario
