The 'Exogenous Flora of Lincoln Co., Mississippi, from Octo- 

 ber to May. — The subjoined list, though very far from exhaustive, 

 is believed to be correct. The times of flowering may represent the 

 somewhat abnormal conditions of the present year. Coming here, 

 til e last ol September, after the prolonged drought of '81, many 

 plants which, should have been flowering were scorched to the 

 ground. The first rain brought out a second bloom of many spring 

 flowers. Rosacea? were especially thus represented. In December, 

 roses, Viola odorata, and most of the garden bulbs, Narcissi and 

 Hyacinths, were blooming. The exceptionally warm and rainy 

 winter has given place to a spring which old residents pronounce 

 three weeks earlier than asual. 



Some geological considerations may also so effect the Flora as to 

 make it not altogether what one would expect in the Pine Barrens. 

 Throughout this sandy region, running between the Pearl river and 

 the first tier of counties east of the Mississippi, until lost in the 

 Yazoo Hills, is a belt of stiff, red clay, with occasional out-crop- 

 pings of the "Buckshot" soil of north-eastern Mississippi.— Martha
