This marsh, in the town of North Elba, is a small one, probably 

 not over three acres in extent, lying apparently less than a mile east 

 of Averyville marsh. It is circular in outline and has no visible 

 stream running through it. It is a shrubby marsh with numer- 

 ous trees of tamarack and black spruce scattered over it and indi- 

 cating that the time is not far distant when it may properly be 

 called a swamp. Except a half dozen sedges there were but two 

 herbaceous plants found. These are the three-leaved smilacina, 

 Smilacina trifolia (L.) Desf., a liliaceous plant and the 

 pitcher plant, Sarracenia purpurea L., neither of which 

 was found in Averyville marsh. No grass was found there. Of 

 the twenty-one species occurring on the marsh, thirteen are trees 

 and shrubs and eight are herbaceous. Of these herbaceous plants, 

 five are carices, only one of which was found on Averyville marsh. 

 It is remarkable that such a dissimilarity should exist in the herba- 

 ceous vegetation of two marshes so near to each other in location 

 and stages of developinent.
