About 80% of the large trees and shrubs, but not so many of th( 

 small trees and vines, are evergreen. This difference is probably 

 due to the fact that the small trees and vines are chiefly confined 

 to hammocks with richer soil, as in regions 2 and 5. 



Population. In attempting to estimate the density of population 

 we encounter the same difficulty as in most of the regions previously 

 described, for this belt does not cover as much as half of any one 

 county. But there must be at least forty persons per square mile. 

 As this is evidently the most populous part of Hernando and 

 Pasco Counties, the figures for those counties may represent 

 the composition of the population fairly well. In 1910 the}' 

 had 56.5% of native whites, 1.6% of foreign whites, and 

 41.8% of negroes. The percentage of illiteracy (in the population 

 over 10) was 3.1 among the native whites, 8.9 among the foreign 

 whites, and 31.2 amoung the negroes. The last is the highest fig- 

 ure found in central Florida, and that for foreign whites is rather 

 high, too, but both may be due to a large number of unskilled la- 

 borers in the phosphate mines of Hernando County, which are en- 

 tirely outside of the hammock belt.
