Fig. 59. Stationary dunes on narrow treeless part of Dog Island, about 

 5 miles due south of Carrabelle, Franklin County. Vegetation nearly all ever- 

 green shrubs. Serenoa (saw-palmetto) at right, Coiiradiiia (the grayish shrub) 

 and Ceratiola (smaller and darker) in foreground. Fire is impossible in such 

 vegetation. May 28, 1914. 



Fig. 60. Forest of Pintts clausa (spruce pine) on narrow peninsula of 

 ancient dune sand on south side of Escambia Bay, Santa Rosa County. The 

 shrubs in the foreground are mostly Quercus myrtifolia (a dwarf evergreen 

 oak), and there is also some Ceratiola (rosemary), which the picture does not 

 bring out well. This locality is about 50 feet above sea-level, and the vegetation 

 is evidently in a more advanced stage than that shown above. No traces of 

 fire were observed here. September 19, 1910. 



Fig. 61. Looking south from a pine tree on highest old dunes near Lanark, 

 Franklin County, about 50 feet above sea-level. St. George's Sound and Dog 

 Island in distance. Gophers and ants inhabit the soil here, but there are no 

 salamanders. Vegetation mostly Pinus palustris (long-leaf pine) and Quercus 

 Catesbaei (black-jack oak). August 2, 1914.
