B. phot.) landwards is intermingled with Conocarpus erecta L., and gradually as the ground falls, evenly passes into a Laguncularia and Avi- cennia vegetation, in the innermost part of which Batis mari- tima L. often occurs in great numbers. This sheltering sand vegeta- tion was in full vigour, as is seen on the picture of the lagoon (see fig. 13).
