Harshberger, John W., An Ecological Sketch of the 

 Flora of Santo Domingo. (Proceedings of the Academy 

 for Natura! Sciences in Philadelphia, p. 554—561. N. 1901.) 



The author describes the topography, climate and ecology 

 of the island of Santo Domingo, which on account of its varied 

 topography shows a very great amount of Vegetation differences. 

 The part on ecology contains an enumeration 1) of the hydro- 

 phytic species, 2) of those composing the forest and savannah 

 vegetations, 3) of the epiphytes and parasites and 4) of the 

 xerophytes. It is suggested that the region of the Antilles offers 

 a rieh field for the pursuit of phytogeographic problems touching 

 on the distribution of plants in North America.
