namely, Camp Longview (about 45 miles distant), the vicinity of 

 Black Point (20 miles), and hammocks in the "Homestead" re- 

 gion (30 to 40 miles). We also explored most of the hammocks 

 between Miami and Cutler, and made a trip up the canal from 

 Miami to Fort Lauderdale and Boynton. On the 2 2d of No- 

 vember I left the other members of the party and went to Planter, 

 on Key Largo, from there exploring the southern half of the key 

 and the adjacent Plantation Key, and making a trip across Florida 

 Bay to Madeira hammocks on the mainland. I returned to 

 Miami December 3, and in company with Mr. John Soar and 

 Prof. Chas. T. Simpson made a visit to Royal Palm, or Paradise 

 Key, at the eastern end of Long Key, or Pine Island, lying in the 

 everglade about 50 miles south of Miami. We explored some 

 new hammocks in the Homestead region, to which I subsequently 

 returned in company with Mr. Soar, when we revisited all the 

 hammocks of the vicinity. On December 3 1 I was at Fort Laud- 

 erdale, and on January 1 at Jupiter, from thence going to Thomas- 

 ville, Georgia, on the way home. 



I returned to Miami, May 14, 1904. The copious rains pre- 

 vented extensive exploration, but I revisited the hammocks about 

 Miami and went to Black Point. On May 30 I left Miami for 

 Oviedo, spending the thirty-first at that place. June I I was at 

 Sanford and June 2 at Kissimmee. From thence I went to Tampa 

 and took steamer for Braidentown, Manatee, and Oneco. Re- 

 turning to Tampa I took passage by rail to Fort Myers, then by 

 mail boat to Marco, and thence by skiff to Fahkahatchie Cypress 

 and Everglade, whence I returned home. 



In February, 1905, I revisited the hammocks about Miami. 

 In March I went via Punta Gorda to Everglade. I made a trip 

 to Deep Lake, about 1 5 miles through the cypress from Ever- 

 glade. Then I engaged a gasoline launch with a man to run it 

 and skirted along the whole coast to Flamingo, thus nearly com- 

 pleting a circuit of the peninsula. Returning in the launch I 

 visited the headwaters of Whitewater Bay and touched at various 

 places in the Ten Thousand Islands. I made another trip to the 

 cypress, about 10 miles inland from Everglade. I stopped for a
