Abstract
I AM glad to see from Dr. Vaughan Cornish's review on pp. 737–8 of NATURE for May 17 that the Council for the Preservation of Rural England is directing attention to the unsuitability of water meadows for dwellings and to the fact that they serve as safety overflows for inhabited districts lower down the river in times of heavy flooding. The æsthetic advantage of these flats is also accentuated.
