14 10 The river is extremely tortuous here flowing many cutoffs and oxbows. The characteristics form of where cut offs may be shown in the figure at the left. The river continues to cut into the bank at A and adding soil to the slit at B until eventually the lagoon becomes a lake and then rapidly fills in and the whole is converted into a marsh. In some cases when the cut off is old and the view has cut far into the bank the curve becomes too great and then the view cuts in at A and across in its old channel leaving the former channel which now fills in with the marsh vegetation. The scirpus form the characteristic associations which later becomes a ruderal salin combination and later the vegetation is far enough removed from the water-table that ruderal comes in many places, adn finally the same land may become occupied by the Prunus combination . In the lagoon I found much societies as Potamogeton , Ruppia , Batrachium , Lemna , Zizania , Potamogeton richardsonii , and P. foliosus - very abundant latter.
