67 49 The Wet Meadow Formation Wet meadows are always members of a succession of which the Lake and stream formation and the Marsh Formation are preceeding types. The earliest stage of association in Wet Meadow Formation may either be considered as terminating the Marsh Formation. This is the Rush Association or meadow. As a rule this assoication is found upon a soil that is still very wet and soggy. There is much humus and one may always bring water to the surface by a little tramping with the feet. Sometimes the association occurs where there is less humus and more sand and is such cases the sand may be made to yield water by squeezing in the hand. Since in may places this association occupies soil that was originally lake bed the surface is liable to be exceedingly mucky and to reveal the remains of snails and other aquatic animal forms. Frequently in those valleys with lakes or ponds present this association is seen developed in a more or less well defined belt about the body of water back from the Marsh Formation.
