DrcemBer 23, 1908] A FascicLE or SovrH Nganos Fias 533 
have the appearance of being six inches thick; and on the 
£e. ground they form mats knee deep. The summit of the highest 
peak has a shallow triangularly shaped depression of about 
two acres in area. This depression may be the vestige «f an 
old crater, and is densely filled with shrubs and with some 
scattering big trees of Myrica javanica Bim. 
In this place was found Ficus benguetensis negrosensis Elm. 
Further down in one of the gulches Ficus cuernosensis Elm. and * 
Ficus cervina Elm. were discovered. At about 4000 feet the follow- 
ing already known species of figs were collected. Ficus indica 
Linn., F. integrifolia Elm., F. apiocarpa Miq., F, puncticulata 
Merr., F. propinqua Merr., F. bataanensis Merr., F. guyeri Elm., 
F. lucbanensis Elm., F. disticha Blm. The balance of Ficus 
enumerated in this fascicle were collected below 3500 feet 
altitude. 
Along the coast inwardly to Luzuriaga the country is chiefly 
covered with cocoanut groves, occasionally interspersed with 
sugar cane ranches. About Luzuriaga and some distance above 
this barrio there is quite an acreage planted in corn, although 
the yield is said to be generally poor. Then the ''Abaca" 
or Manila hemp fields begin, especially in the alluvial soils 
along the river and larger tributaries. At about 2500 feet in 
the lower portion of the ravines the hemp is at its best, 
although it is also planted upon ridges and in favorably 
sheltered places it is successfully grown as high as 3500 feet,
