292 HARPER: BOTANICAL EXPLORATIONS IN GEORGIA 
state. Among the flowering plants inhabiting this hillside are 
Dioscorea, Hydrangea quercifolia, Cercis, Phaseolus polystachyus, 
Erythrina herbacea, Viola villosa, Yeatesia, Polymnia Uvedalia and 
Melanthera hastata,. Some fragments of the rock from this place 
have been identified by means of their fossils as Lower Oligocene. 
About noon on the 15th I went back thirty miles over the 
same route I had come the day before, to West Bainbridge, where 
I collected numbers 1233-1238 in the Columbia sands along the 
Flint River, and during the afternoon I traveled forty miles north- 
ward on the Georgia Pine Railway through Miller and Early 
Counties to Arlington, in Calhoun County (nos. 1239, 1240). 
Arlington seems to be in the same pine-barren zone as Leslie, but 
on account of a heavy rain the next morning I was not able to 
study carefully the similarity of the floras. On the afternoon of 
the 16th I continued my journey to Albany, where I had a 
few hours to wait, so I went out across the Flint River to have 
a look at the flora and geological features, but did no collecting 
because this locality had been already pretty well explored by 
Dr. Chapman, Dr. Small and other botanists. 
From Bainbridge, at the coastward edge of the lime-sink 
region, to Sumter County, at its inland edge, the flora of the 
banks of the Flint River does not seem to vary much, and all the 
species seen at Albany were the same as those already seen else- 
where. From Albany I went to Cordele, crossing the Flint 
River at still another place, where it forms the boundary be- 
tween Lee and Worth Counties, and returned to Leslie the morn- 
ing of August 17. . 
Ten days later I started for the metamorphic region, going by 
way of Richland and Columbus. At the latter place I crossed 
the Chattahoochee River to examine some of the geological 
features of the fall-line (the inland boundary of the coastal plain). 
On the morning of August 28 I left the coastal plain and went 
up to Woodbury, in Meriwether County, near the Flint River, 51 
miles from Columbus, where I stopped two days (nos. 1249-1273). 
The most noteworthy natural feature in the vicinity of Wood- 
bury is the range of Pine Mountains, which extends approximately 
east and west through the counties of Harris, Meriwether, Talbot 
and Upson. These are the southernmost mountains in the eastern
