  INTRODUCTION 
  

  

  t 
  

  

  plant 
  associations 
  of 
  eroding 
  areas 
  along 
  the 
  Connecticut 
  coast, 
  

   and 
  the 
  present 
  paper 
  is 
  practically 
  a 
  continuation 
  of 
  that 
  one. 
  

   As 
  pointed 
  out 
  there, 
  the 
  lateral 
  distribution 
  of 
  the 
  various 
  types 
  

   of 
  seaside 
  plant 
  association 
  Is 
  determined 
  mainly 
  by 
  differences 
  in 
  

   physiography, 
  their 
  vertical 
  distribution 
  mainly 
  by 
  differences 
  in 
  

   tide 
  level. 
  For 
  purposes 
  of 
  treatment 
  these 
  associations 
  are 
  

   grouped 
  primarily 
  with 
  reference 
  to 
  their 
  physiographic 
  relations, 
  

   secondarily 
  with 
  reference 
  to 
  their 
  relation 
  to 
  tide 
  levels, 
  A 
  

   general 
  discussion 
  of 
  the 
  ecological 
  relations 
  of 
  seaside 
  plants 
  and 
  

   associations 
  is 
  included 
  in 
  the 
  previous 
  paper, 
  >vhich 
  also 
  contains 
  

   a 
  list 
  of

  literature

  In
