SECTION X.— FITZWORTH. 



No. 23, 24/9/17. — Taken from (23). A little path goes from the 

 cottages up through the heath to the end of the 

 rising ground. The two first, Nos. 23 and 24, 

 were taken to the left of the path a few yards up, 

 Nos. 25, 26 and 27 from the highest ground on 

 the point, and the last, No. 28, from two or three 

 yards back from the point and east of path. Look- 

 ing across Wych Channel up Middlebere Lake, 

 showing the Spartina at the entrance of the Round 

 Island and Fitzworth Channel also showing the 

 great Middlebere Wych angle of meadowed grass. 



No. 24, 24/9/17. — Taken frOm (24) across Wych Channel to Gripp 

 Heath ; Arne shore, Shipstal and Patchin's Point 

 in the distance. This view embraces the entrance 

 from Wych Channel between Fitzworth Point and 

 Round Island, which is rapidly closing, like the 

 Round Island and Long Island passage. On the 

 left will be seen the now narrow entrance and all 

 that remains of the Round Island — Fitzworth 

 Channel. See Nos. 25 and 26. 



No. 25, 24/9/17. — Taken from (25) at the point. Round Island 

 Channel and Shipstal Point in distance. Grass 

 starting to meadow east of the island. 



No. 26, 24/9/17. — Taken from (26), same as No. 25 but Round Island 

 in centre. 



No. 27, 24/9/17. — Taken from (27) same place as Nos. 25 and 26, 

 showing the rapid approach to meadowing of the 

 Fitzworth bands and the closing of the Channel. 

 Two years ago I was demonstrating to members 

 of the Bournemouth Natural Science Society here 

 on the line-like aspect of the bands of grass, which 

 is now hardly apparent, only a trace in the photo- 

 graph. Brownsea, Furzey and Green Islands and 

 Goathorn Point in the distance. 



No. 28, 24/9/17. — Taken from (28) a few yards east of the Point, 

 showing the remains of the line-like bands better 

 than No. 27 ; Poole shore on the left and centre, 

 Brownsea Island on the right and in the distance.

 tinuation of the same view.
