Stone Mountain, Georgia, is the original locality of this 
species. There it is more plentiful than at any of the new sta- 
tions, but seldom attains the form of a tree. During the last two 
years I have found this interesting oak at four new places, and at 
all of these it grows plentifully and the tree form predominates 
instead of the shrub. 
Along the Yellow River, about six or seven miles east of Stone 
Mountain, there are several large groves on the sides of the cafions 
where the granite rocks outcrop. Six or seven miles east of the 
Yellow River there occurs another outcrop of granite, and here 
two fine trees stand and bear fruit in great abundance. Travel- 
ling between the last mentioned station and the Oconee Mountain, 
a little to the south of east, I came upon another granite outcrop 
just west of the Oconee River. There the species again appears, 
and it is interesting to note that whenever found it is confined to 
granite outcrops. A fifth, or fourth, new locality is Little Stone 
Mountain, situated about nine miles south of Stone Mountain. 
There the species reaches its greatest development in size, meas- 
urements showing a height varying from twenty to thirty feet 
and a maximum trunk diameter of fourteen inches. The follow- 
ing map will give an idea of the geographic distribution of this oak.
