This small sand islet, one of the three forming the nuclei of the 

 western consolidation of the group into a future island, is about 250 

 feet in length and (including the mangrove association) 50 feet at its 

 widest point. It rises abruptly on its northwestern, or sea, beach to a 

 central plateau about 3 feet above tide. 



The salient peculiarities of its vegetation are: The absence of 

 Sesuvium, Euphorbia buxifolia, and Cakile; the thorough colonization of 

 Laguncularia along the mangrove border; the presence of two large 

 convolvulaceous colonies Calonyction and Pharbitis; and the presence in 

 unicate of Solanum and Iva. With these prominent exceptions the 

 general disposition of the vegetation marks a strong similarity to 

 Islet "A."
