Abingdon we were gratified by finding this most elegant aquatic ;

shallow, either at the river side or in spots where the ground 
approached the surface in mid-stream. It is by no means common 
to all the banks of the Thames. We voyaged many miles on 
several occasions and sought for it in vain, finding it in great 
luxuriance in the river Thame between Dorchester and the junction.’
