48 HARPER: VEGETATION OF THE PINUS TAEDA BELT 
July 19, 1908. Suffolk to Emporia, Va., by the Southern Ry. (Torreya 9: 
219-221, 223-226. Nov. 1909.) 
uly 26, 1909. On the Seaboard Air Line in southwestern South Carolina from 
the Salkehatchie River to the North Fork of the Edisto. (Bull. Torrey Club 37: 
403-406, 411, 413-414, 418-420. I910. This covers the work of the next two days 
so.) 
July 27, 1909. Laurel Hill to Rosindale, N. C., by the Seaboard Air Line, and 
Verona to New Bern by the Atlantic Coast Line. 
July 28, 1909. New Bern to Mackey’s Ferry, N. C., by the Norfolk & Southern 
Ry. (now Norfolk Southern R. R.). 
March 4, 1910. Perry to Allendale, S. C., by the Southern Ry. (Bull. Torrey 
Club 38: 225-226. r1o911.) 
Aug. 22, 1913. Aiken to Ashley Junction, S. C., by the Southern Ry., with a 
stop of about an hour at Branchville, which allowed some observations on weeds. 
(Torreya 16:243. 1916.) Ashley Junction to Florence, S. C. (same route as on July 
26, 1906) later in the day. 
Aug. 23, 1913. Florence, S. C., to Parkton, N. C., and Fayetteville to Selma, 
N. C., by the Atlantic Coast Line. Selma to Goldsboro by the Southern Ry. 
Goldsboro to Beaufort, N. C., by the Norfolk Southern R. R., but note-taking 
interrupted by darkness near Mansfield, about 89 miles from Goldsboro. 
Aug. 26, 1913. Beaufort to Kinston, N. C., by the Norfolk Southern R. R., and 
on foot from Kinston to Dover and the big pocosin near by. (See Pop. Sci. Monthly 
85: 354. Oct. 1914.) 
Aug. 27, 1913. Kinston to Halifax, N. C., by the Atlantic Coast Line. (Notes 
taken later in the day along or near the fall-line north of Halif t ted here.) 
March 3, 1914. North Fork of the Edisto to the Salkehatchie River in South 
Carolina, by the same route as on J uly 26, 1909, at the rate of about 44 miles an hour. 
Dec. 16, 1915. Florence, S. C., to Pembroke, N. C., by the Atlantic Coast 
Line, and on foot along the Seaboard Air Line for a few miles northwest of Pembroke, 
to get one of the same plants seen there in I905. 
These trips together comprise about 1,560 miles of railroad 
travel in 53 hours (including perhaps 200 stops of half a minute 
or more at stations), and 40 miles of walking in 21 hours; and 
touch about five-sixths of the counties in the whole region. By 
states the field work might be summed up as follows: Virginia, 
one day in June and three in July; North Carolina, one in June, 
four in July, three in August, one in November, one in December; 
South Carolina, two in March, four in July, two in August, one in 
December. If observations could have been made in April, May, 
September and October the list of herbs would be more complete 
and accurate, but it is not likely that any tree that makes up as 
much as I per cent of the vegetation has been overlooked, except 
in cases of closely related species that are difficult to distinguish. 
Methods of Analysis. Notes on the vegetation were taken on 
practically every mile, and from these the percentages given below
