Abstract
Thefollowing is a continuation of the work described in a previous paper (Reid, 1930). The intention was to amplify that work by the investigation of the conditions of salinity interchange on sandy shores of less ideal type. It was considered likely that various factors might affect the condition of the water held by the sand. For instance, the rate of flow of the fresh water and its depth; irregularity in the slope of the beach; the depth of the sand and the nature of the floor on which it rests. The rate of flow of the water is not a simple factor however. It is correlated with the slope of the beach in that faster streams are usually on steeper beaches. The effect of this dual factor will be discussed later.Keywords
