x <- read.table("LittleGarvin.csv", sep=",", header=TRUE)
y <- t(x)
str(y)

chr [1:193, 1:288] "oligocha" "0" " 0" "
0" " 0" "0" ...
 - attr(*, "dimnames")=List of 2
  ..$ : chr [1:193] "X" "upwd1201" "upwd0502"
"upwd0702" ...
  ..$ : NULL

x is a data frame with a whole bunch of numeric vectors I would like for the
rows and columns to be reversed == transposed but with the same attributes.
I am trying to feed the transposed data frame to metaMDS(vegan).  I am
stumped- sorry for the large attached file- I am at a loss.
