The East Rother The confines of this distnct are as follows : We start from the coast and take the Kent boundary to Tunbridge Wells. Thence we proceed by the road skirting Eridge Park and Blackthorn Hill to Rotherfield and go on to Butcher's Cross and Five Ash Down to Cross-in- Hand. We next take the main road to Burwash as far as east side of Heathfield Park, through Cade Street, Punnett's Town, Turner's Green, Dallington, Netherfield Green, thence to Battle by the high road dividing High Wood, between Beauport and Crowhurst Parks, and through Hollington to the east of St. Leonards. The district is drained by the East Rother and two small independent streams, the Tillingham and the Brede, flowing from the westward, which meet the estuary of the East Rother near Rye. The southern portion of this division is situated almost wholly on the Wealden forma- tion, the cliffs of which rising sometimes to a height of nearly 300 feet from the coast-line, stretch from Cliff End Fairlight to St. Leonards, and from Bulverhythe to Bexhill. The remainder of the coast-line is occupied by marsh land, which contains in many places com- paratively recent marine deposits. The country is undulated with hills of the ' Hastings Sands' division of the Wealden, which culminate in the Fairlight Downs, and much of it is thickly wooded. Among the rarer plants are : — Crucifer^ Dentaria bulbifera L. LeGUMINIFER/E Trifolium sufFocatum L. T. glomeratum L. Lotus angustissimus L. Rosacea Rubus thyrsoidens H'imm.
