Abstract
RECENT investigations have shown that in coastal mangrove swamps of south-western Florida the average chlorinity of interstitial water contained in 2–4 ft. of unconsolidated sediment overlying bedrock is 2–12 parts per thousand greater than the average value of the overlying bottom water. General considerations would suggest that the two averages should be the same if chloride ions move across the sediment–water interface by molecular diffusion only.
