 of North America north of Mexico. Pages 23-50 in R.J. Reimold and 

 W.H. Queen, eds.. Ecology of halophytes. Academic Press, New York. 



Difficulties in delimiting halophytes and halophytic habitats are 

 discussed and an annotated list of halophytes is presented. Data 

 included for each species are: the halophytic habitats in which they 

 are reported to occur, the authors reporting the habitats, page citations 

 for these reports, and composites of the coastal geographic distributions 

 compiled from numerous authors. The list of halophytes includes 347 

 species in 177 genera and 75 families. The possibilities that some 

 species may be erroneously listed and others omitted are discussed. 

 Geographic distributions are analyzed by areas and summarized. Although 

 the article does not report on productivity, it forms a good base for 

 the study of the Atlantic and Gulf Coast marsh plants. Some indication 

 of the relative richness of the halophytic vegetation in different 

 regions of the coast is given by the total numbers of species reported 

 for the regions; namely, 133 species along the Gulf Coast from Texas 

 into Alabama, 197 species from Georgia into Delaware, 161 species 

 from New Jersey into Maine, and 125 species in Canada. (A. A. and excerpt)

The references at the end of this review include over 1,200 published 

 accounts of mangroves. The author has attempted to review the major 

 conclusions of these published accounts and to give a picture of the 

 contemporary state of knowledge with respect to geographical distribution, 

 ecology, adaptations, silviculture, and herbicides. A subsection on 

 energy relationships discusses all of the mangrove productivity studies 

 completed as of 1972. (J.B.)

There are two classes of saltwater lagoons: bodies of water separated from 

 the sea by a sandbar and the shallow water area in the center of a coral 

 atoll or cay. If the term is extended to include sounds and calderas,
