b Vegetation of the lower benches. On the one 



hand, the vegetation of the lower benches merges in many 



places into the alluvial thicket type of the immediate river 



hanks and alluvial bottoms, and on the other hand, into 



the type of vegetation found on the higher henehes or 



along the abrupt slopes and bluffs of the sides of the 



valley. In some plaees, however, the transition is more 



abrupt. These lower benches might be regarded as the 



only bottomland of the valley. In general they are more 



moist and in some places they are decidedly wet, especially 



where low and nndrained, such as the swampy woods 



along the Steamhurg road just beyond Quaker Bridge, the 



swampy woods across the Quaker Bridge and south of 



the road which crosses the valley from east to west, near 



Cold Spring, Onoville Station and elsewhere. In these 



situations fires are almost impossible and the arborescent 



vegetation, where it has not been cut down, has made a 



good development, although there are few large trees 



of any species.
