Percent cover, relative frequency and percentage contribution to vegetation were estimated by two methods, the vertical and inclined point quadrats, in Trifolium sudterraneum and Lolium rigidum pasture swards. A comparison of results by appropriate statistical tests was made. The two methods gave similar estimates of percent cover and relative frequency of Trifolium subterraneum, and percentage contribution for Trifolium subterransum aid Lolium rigidum. On the other hand the vertical point quadrat gave underestimate of percent cover and relative frequency for Lolium rigidum than did the inclined point quadrat. Though no records were kept of times taken, the vertical point quadrat as obviously more rapid than the inclined point quadrat. The results are discussed in relation to preciously published work and with regard to their application is pasture analysis studies.
