umber in the map here exhibited. The Marsh itself con- 

 sists of what is termed alluvium, a recent deposit of sand, 

 beach, and Estuary mud, at places at least fifty feet deep. 

 Near Appledore, which is the lowest part of the Marsh, the 

 peaty soil is full of oak stumps, which appear to have 

 grown in the situation they now occupy. 



It now remains for me to gave an account of the wild 

 plants noticed growing between Appledore Station and 

 Dungeness Point.

 number, and they were only those attracting our attention
