LOCALITIES. 



Ill 



affluent from that of the Roding, into which the slopes drain on either 

 side. The subsoil is gravel. It is intersected by the high road, from 

 Lea Bridge, through Woodford to Epping and Newmarket, into which 

 run cross-roads from Walthamstow and Chingford. Woodford occupies a 

 sort of clearing in the forest, which may be described as hereabouts con- 

 sisting of detached patches, partly enclosed. These, together, with the 

 outlying copses known as Lark's Wood and Hawkswood, produce a few 

 woodland plants, but the localities are so much frequented, that little out 

 of the common may be expected. Oak and Hornbeam appear to be most 

 prevalent in the drier parts. In the hollow below Woodford, which is of 

 a somewhat marshy character, is a dense scrub of White-thorn, Black-thorn, 

 Briar, Bramble, Holly, Birch, Sallow, dwarf Oak, Hazel, and Bracken.

9. BLACKHEATH, AND THE MARSHES BELOW GREENWICH. 



Many plants grew formerly upon Blackheath, and in the marshes between 

 jlreenwich and Woolwich. The heath is now nothing but a grassy common,
