TALLAHASSEE RED HILLS. 



Leon County 



(Pages 266-279) 



Fig. 6q. Looking about north across fields and hills about i 1-2 miles west 



of Tallahassee. Some of the hills are crowned with forests of Pinus echinafa 



(short-leaf pine), probably mostly second growth in this case. November 24, 



1910. (The prevailing colors of the landscape at this season are dark green, 



gray and brown, the last including the soil.) The entire absence of gullies is 



noteworthy. 



Fig. 70. Looking east across fields of brown loam about 5 miles east of 

 Tallahassee, showing two ponds at different levels, and a few dead live oaks 

 (which are as characteristic of cultivated fields in this region as dead pines are 

 in the long-leaf pine regions). April 4, 1914. 



Fig. 71. View of eastern part of Lake Lafayette, showing Taxodium im- 

 bricarium (pond cypress), Tillandsia nsneoides (Spanish moss), and a dense 

 growth of Panicum hcmitomon (maiden cane) in middle distance. Water 

 near its highest stage. March 24, 1914. (At this time the cypress trees were 

 just beginning to put out their leaves.)
