It is perhaps more probable that many of the foregoing plants reached the islands in 

 the vegetable drift cast ashore during; violent storms.

Frugivorous Birds.

This list, though the smallest, includes the only Bermudan indigenous trees, and one 

 or two of the commoner inland shrubs. We have no irrefragable evidence of the Sabal 

 occurring elsewhere, but even if it be endemic, it can only be a differentiated descendant 

 of the same stock as the species which inhabit the opposite coast of America and the West 

 Indies. The same may be said of Erigeron darrellianus, Statice lefroyi, Sisyrinchium 

 bermudiana, and Carex bermudiana.
