Remarks"Sept. 23. . . Having reached the shore, we sat under the lee of the rocks on the beach, opposite Salt Island. . .Half a mile further, beyond a rocky head, we came to another curving sandy beach, with a marsh between it and the Cape on the north. Saw there, in the soft sand, with beach-grass, apparently Juncus Balticus (?), very like but not so stout (!) as Juncus effusus." Journal 11: 426-427. 1858]
