OF GEORGIA DURING THE SEASON OF 1902 11 
central North Carolina to western Georgia, with some interrup- 
tions. Little is known of the origin and geological history of 
— 
these fall-line sand-hills, and they deserve further study. Their 
flora is of course eminently xerophytic, but need not be discussed 
here. 
Augusta was visited in the eighteenth century by Bartram and 
Michaux, and in the nineteenth by Baldwin, Croom, Leavenworth, 
Olney, Ravenel, McCarthy, Sargent, Small and other botanists. 
It is now the home of Mr. A. Cuthbert, the discoverer of several 
species new to science, with whom I had the pleasure of compar- 
Fic. 1. General view of fall-line sand-hills near Augusta. June 8. 
ing notes. The influence of Michaux’s work in this vicinity is 
strikingly shown by the fact that of the flora of these particular 
sand-hills most of the characteristic species and several of the 
genera were discovered and described by him. 
In November I examined other portions of the fall-line sand- 
hills, in the counties of Talbot, Taylor and Jones. The area in 
Talbot and Taylor Counties extends about twenty miles east and 
west and perhaps nearly as far north and south, but is little known.
