marsh.with a background of the tall reed grass, Phragmites Phrag- 

 mites ( L.) Karst. The weather was perfect and the program for 

 the day was carried out successfully, according to program. The 

 border of the salt marsh area was explored during the morning, 

 under the guidance of Dr. N. L. Britton and Dr. Arthur Hollick. 

 At 1:30 p. m. a shore dinner was served at Sauer's hote!, which 

 was also a novel feature for those who were strangers to salt 

 water, and later a visit was made to Crooke's Point by motor 

 boats. Beach plums, Primus maritima Wang., the sand cactus, 

 Opuntia Opuntia ( L.) Coult., and the sand dune and salt marsh 

 grasses, rushes and sedges were objects of special interest to 

 those who had never before seen them growing.
