50 HARPER: VEGETATION OF THE Pinus TAEDA BELT 
features of local distribution. The total percentage is given first, 
then the name of the species, its usual habitat in the region, and 
the percentages for the three states. Percentages too small to be 
represented without using too many decimal places are replaced 
by o, but where a species has not been seen at all in one of the 
states the space is left blank. Percentages are given for herbs 
only in the case of a few of the most abundant species, for to 
attempt it for all of them would be a refinement wholly un- 
warranted by my crude methods, and would require too long 
decimals. The highest number in each line, if it is reasonably 
certain that more thorough exploration will not overturn its plu- 
rality, is printed in heavier type, so that the reader can run down 
one column at a time and pick out the characteristic species for 
each state. The names of evergreens are printed in heavier type 
(in the case of semi-evergreens only the specific name), and those 
of weeds enclosed in parentheses.
