  Nichols: 
  The 
  vegetation 
  of 
  Connecticut 
  

  

  L 
  w 
  

  

  by 
  typical 
  salt 
  meadow 
  vegetation, 
  may 
  become 
  transformed 
  into 
  

   pans. 
  And, 
  in 
  conclusion, 
  it 
  is 
  needless 
  to 
  more 
  than 
  remark 
  that, 
  

   as 
  a 
  result 
  of 
  artificial 
  ditching 
  operations, 
  which 
  have 
  become 
  

   more 
  and 
  more- 
  prevalent 
  in 
  recent 
  years, 
  tlie 
  pans, 
  a 
  natural 
  

   breeding 
  place 
  for 
  mosquitoes, 
  are 
  destined 
  to 
  undergo 
  even 
  more 
  

   rapid 
  changes 
  than 
  those 
  above 
  suggested.
