Rhizophora-vegeiaiion in the Saltiivei- Bay on the north side of St. Croix. (F. B. phot.) on the left the rock is seen. But as the edge of the mangroves gradually grows in breadth more mud is deposited among the roots. Fig. 4 shows such a somewhat more advanced stage in the Saltriver Bay, on St. Croix. The rocky coast itself is not shown in the picture, but it is at a short distance from the left side of the picture. The Bhizophora-xegeiaiion as yet consisted only of a single or some few rows of trees, but these extend more and more into the water, while, as is shown in the picture, vigorous roots which descend vertically, or almost vertically, are growing.
