Fig 117. — Locli Leven. View of the east shore opposite St Serf’s Island, 
looking north-west. The scattered marsh plants are chiefly Equisetnm 
limosum, Heleocharis palustris, and Carex rostrata. Dry parts of the shore, 
as in the foreground, are clothed with grasses. Then follows a strip of Alnus 
and Salix, behind which there is a plantation of Pinus sylvestris. 
Fig. 118 . — Isle of May. View from the north-east end of the island, looking 
south-east along the eastern shore, showing the gradual inclination of the 
land from the sea. The whole of this area is swept by sea-spray during every 
stiff easterly breeze, and the vegetation consists chiefly of the lichens en- 
umerated under fig. 120.
