converted into a pasture, and is closely grazed. The few forms 
found in the fence corners, however, indicate an assemblage similar 
to that occupying this region ten years ago. As one passes north- 
ward the flora changes, many more heath forms appearing this 
year than at the time of the previous study. This seems to indi-

situations has maintained its swampy meadow character, due to 
the frequent additions of sea water to the lake. 
North of Rehoboth, around Frazer’s Lake, there extends a large 
swamp. Near the lake the cat-tail is apparently the dominant 
form, while to the east and north this association passes into a 
meadow which is a second pasture. This swampy meadow extends

Only the southeastern extension, as it runs between the Hudsonia 
dunes, was studied. Many typical undrained swamp forms were
