 intended as a study of the Pine Barrens alone but upon the persuasion

Of the life-areas of the southern part of the state, it is to be recalled

 region, the Middle District of West Jersey and the recently discovered 

 Coast Strip 2 on the eastern edge of the Pine Barrens. (The Cape May

 to that done upon the Pine Barrens. Many more species, it was felt, 

 would be added in time to the Middle District flora, while the Coast 

 Strip had been so slightly touched and so little systematized work done
