VEGETATION OF BLAKENEY POINT. 49 



proximal position of the Hood m relation to the shingle on 

 which it rests, there seem to be good grounds for believing that the 

 Long Hills are the more recent formation, but that, owing to 

 the conditions in which smallness of area may have played a 

 considerable part, the Hood has scarcely kept pace in the 

 process of colonisation. 



The relations between the two are best brought out by a 

 comparison of the subjoined list of species and frequencies with 

 that given for the Long Hills on p. 46.
