Marsland; a large district without inhabitants, 
except in a few scattered hamlets. 
Here especially the Ferns, undisturbed by the 
busy ploughman or covetous collector, flourish and 
abound. Osmunda^ higher than your head, Asple- 
niwn marimmf hanging down to the beach a foot 
and a half long, and many other treasures, reward 
the fern hunter.
