var. juncea, or Juncus Gerardi are practically or quite free from other 
vegetation, the great bulk of the areas over the marsh are covered 
with various specles of other plants invading the areas formerly 
devoted to the two species above mentioned. "These two species 
still cover most of the area, but they are quite obseured when the 
invading growth is in full bloom." 
Spartina patens (Ait.) Muhl., var. juncea (Michx.) Hitche.. With 
the species, rather sparingly, in the northern half, but not in mats. 
Distichlis spicata (L.) Greene. In considerable abundance at the 
north end on the marsh, and abundant on the marsh and in ditches 
on the west side. 
Poa annua L. Several plants in soft mud in a ditch in the southern 
half. 
Poa triflora Gilib. Frequent. 
Poa pratensis L. Scattered throughout, especially abundant on 
the eastern border along the river. 
Glyceria septentrionalis Hitche. Abundant in ditches and wet 
ground throughout, especially on the west side, one plant growing 
on the marsh away from water. 
Puccinellia maritima (Huds.) Parl. Scattered over the marsh in 
iso. ated patches. A specimen is in my herbarium collected here on 
June 26, 1884. My journal records it as “abundant by the river" then. 
Festuca ovina L. Occasional in dense tufts on the west border. 
Festuca elatior L. One large clump, wet soil, west border. 
Agropyron repens (L.) Beauv. Densely covering a considerable 
area in the southern portion, and scattered throughout. 
Cyperus ferax Richard. Abundant at the north end and occasional 
at the south end. While preferring the borders of the ditches and 
river, it also grows on the marsh. 
Scirpus americanus Pers. On west border, abundant by a ditch and 
scattered plants amongst Juncus Gerardi. 
Scirpus robustus Pursh. Abundant in wet ground at the south end, 
where plants are 5 feet in height; occurring also by a ditch on the 
west border. 
Scirpus campestris Britton, var. paludosus (A. Nelson) Fernald. 
Abundant by a ditch on the west side. I have a specimen in my 
herbarium collected here June 26, 1884. 
Carex scoparia Schkuhr. Several clumps on the west border, and a 
few plants by the river, the latter a starved form,
