hundred and fifty-seven numbers, and, taken with the others, indi- 

 cates that the total natural flora of the island is not less than one

Publications relating to the flora of the Isle of Pines.* 

 The following list includes the titles of all publications relating to 

 the flora of the Isle of Pines, so far as known to the writer. No 

 mention has been made in this list of various popular articles, which 

 have little or no botanical value: 



1. Richard, Achille. In Sagra, Historia fisica, poJtica y natural de 

 la Isla de Cuba, X, 1845, XI, 1850, and XII, plates, no date. 



Richard, under various species in these volumes, refers to the 

 Lanier Collection made in the Isle of Pines in 1831, by noting " Cresctt 

 in insula Pinorum." A few of the plates in volume XII were made 

 from Lanier's specimens. 



2. The collections made about i860 in the Isle of Pines by Don 

 Joss Blain were reported on by Dr. C. F. Millspaugh, " Plantce Insulcs 

 Ananasensis." Field Columbian Museum, Botanical Series, I, 1900, 



pp. 425-439- 



This report consists of an annotated list, with discussions as to 

 the botanical relationships or characteristics of a number of the 

 species, and descriptions of a few species proposed as new. Don 

 Jose Blain is mentioned in one of Charles Wright's letters to Asa 

 Gray as a botanical enthusiast of some ability. 



3. Under the title "Plantce Utowance," Dr. C. F. Millspaugh pub- 

 lished an annotated list of the plants collected during a West Indian 

 cruise of the yacht Utowana in the winter of 1 898-1 899. Field 

 Columbian Museum, II, 1900, pp. i-iio. During the course of this 

 cruise, a stop of a few hours was made at Pedernales Point, on the 

 southwestern corner of the island, February 16, 1899, when a small 

 botanical collection was made. 



Millspaugh's list contains the names of a number of species which 

 have not otherwise been reported for the Isle of Pines. 



4. Rowlee, W. W. " Conditions of Plant Growth in the Isle of 

 Pines." Plant World, VI, 1903, pp. 34-37- See also Science, Ser. II, 

 XVII, 1903, p. 461. 



This article is devoted mainly to a discussion of the ecological 

 distribution of the plants of the northern part of the island.
