April, 1916] The Toledo Cedar Point 217 



In some of the wider parts of the beach a narrow sand 

 plain has developed, on portions of which Cottonwood has 

 gained a foothold and has formed a few small groves of half 

 grown trees. 



The writer had an opportunity to visit this region in the 

 summer of 1915 and spent two days, Aug. 30 and Sept. 1, 

 collecting botanical specimens upon the beach. The following 

 list of plants collected will show the nature of the flora, although 

 the list of herbs could be much extended. No Cedars or other 

 Conifers are now growing in this region and I was unable to 

 learn the reason for the name Cedar Point being applied to it.
