So2 HARPER: COASTAL PLAIN OF THE CAROLINAS 
plants of that part of the country scattered through literature 
which may be roughly classified as follows : 
1, Descriptive manuals, such as those of Elliott, Chapman, 
Wood, and Small, covering more than one state, making little or 
no distinction between the coastal plain and other natural regions, 
and containing no rational treatment of habitats. 
2. Monographs of families or genera, or scattered descriptions 
of species, too numerous to mention.* 
3. Works relating to trees primarily, such as Sargent’s Tenth 
Census report,} Pinchot & Ashe on the trees of North Carolina, t 
Mohr’s Timber Pines,§ and Bulletins 43 and 56|| of the U. S. 
Bureau (formerly Division) of Forestry, on South Carolina. 
4. State and local lists, lacking details of habitat or distribu- 
tion, or both ; such as Curtis on North Carolina, 1867, Croom on 
Newbern, 1837, and Wood & McCarthy on Wilmington, 1887. 
5. Notes on selected species, or narratives of botanical expe- 
ditions, with few or no references to earlier workers in the same 
fields. Among these are Bartram’s Travels, Michaux’s Journal, { 
and several short semi-popular papers on Dismal Swamp and 
vicinity, most of which are cited in (and practically superseded by) 
Mr. Kearney’s elaborate survey of that region. 
* For the Altamaha Grit region of Georgia about two years ago I could find less 
than a dozen works of this class, but the number for the Virginia-Carolina coastal plain 
would doubtless run into the hundreds 
+ Vol. 1884. The forests of ie Carolinas are briefly described on pages 515- 
519, with four maps.

For oon the cypress is probably not all Z7axodium distichum, and the ‘‘ black 
gum”? is almost certainly Myssa bifora rather than JN. sylvatica, which is rare in the 
coastal plain, eesti in | such flat country as that under sonsideration. The “titi” 
foribunda (4 ( Andromeda) is confined to the mountains, as far as known. The bucks 
eye is in all probability Aescu/us Pavia, and the ‘prickly ash’? Aradia spinosa.
