17. Introduced Plants. 

 As the coastal formations become modified by the action oL" 

 man throngli drainage, burning, and so on, and by the trampling 

 of cattle, horses, and other introduced animals, their grazing 

 and manuring, a large number o£ introduced plants make their 

 appearance even in a formation so antagonistic as a wet salt 

 meadow, and by slow but sure means the indigenous plants are 

 ousted and a new formation comes into being. Such gradual 

 changes are a distinct study in themselves, and must be reserved
