'nil', COAST A J, STRIP. 



The exi.stence of a coa.stal flora distinct from that of the Pine 

 Barrens and independent of the maritime element was first recog- 

 nized by the writer and pointed out in 1908." 



This is essentially a continuation of the flora of the Middle 

 district around the northern and southern extremities of the Pine 

 Barrens. North of Asbury Park it practically merges into the 

 Middle flistrict, while south of vSea Isle Junction it is not always 

 clearly defined from similar elements of the Cape May district. 

 On the coast islands from Bay Head to vSewell's Point, Cape May, 

 it is well developed and contains, in addition to the Middle dis- 

 trict species, a certain numher of Pine ]iarren plants. The strip 

 on the mainland is sometimes so narrow and so cut by projecting 

 arms of the Pine Barrens that it is obvifjusly impossible to tell 

 which species of the latter should be regarded as common also to 

 the coa.stal strip. The only plan .seems to he io include only such 

 as have lx;come established on the islands. While the coastal 

 flora has Ix-en snid to ht largely identical with thai of the Middle 



* Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci., Phila., 1907, p. 452 (issued Jan. 20, 1908). This 

 strip appears in Prof. John B. Smith's r(i)Ort on New Jersey Insects in last 

 year's Museum Report. ]'rof. Smith consulted with me upon the construc- 

 tion of this map and availed himself of the results of my studies u|)on (he 

 distribution of i)lants and vertebrate animals in New Jersey, but inadvertently 

 failed to mention the fact or to refer to the i)aper just quoted.
