FLORIDA GEOLOGICAL SURVEY—THIRD ANNUAL REPORT. 
SWAMP WATER AND NON-CALCAREOUS SOIL. 
ALLUVIAL SWAMPS. 
The alluvial swamps of coffee-colored-streams differ from those 
of muddy rivers in being sandy instead of muddy (so that one can 
walk about in them with little discomfort when the water is low), 
but resemble them in containing little or no peat, and to a consider¬ 
able extent in the character of the vegetation. 
The following species have been observed between high and 
low water marks along the Ocklocknee River in Leon County, the 
Fenholloway near Hampton Springs, the Suwannee near Bran¬ 
ford, and Peace Creek or River near Arcadia.
