OF GEORGIA DURING THE SEASON OF 1902 15 
Long Pond, about a mile away, is about half as large as Ocean 
Pond. Its water is also clear, but it has no shore (at least on the 
side examined), being bordered by a fringe of cypress swamp. It 
is analogous in many ways to Cane Water Pond in Decatur 
County.* In Long Pond I collected an apparently undescribed 
species of Mymphaca (no, 1611). These two ponds, like the two 
similar ones in Decatur County, are partly surrounded by dry 
sandy areas characterized by -riogonum tomentosum and other 
xerophytes. 
Toward the end of the same month I revisited the type locality 
of Rhynchospora solitaria and Baldwinia atropurpurea, the two 
species which I discovered in Tifton two years before. The local- 
ity (a characteristic area of primeval moist pine barrens) is so near 
the center of the city that it is in imminent ieacises of destruction 
Po 
by the encroachments of civilization, but y both species 
are common enough elsewhere in thé same and Sdiosuide counties, 
In October I studied portions of Randolph, Clay and Quitman 
Counties, in the Cretaceous and Eocene regions, making head- 
quarters at Cuthbert for about three weeks. Cuthbert is one of 
the oldest cities in southwest Georgia, but seems never to have 
been visited by a traveling botanist before, though there was resi- 
dent in the city at that time an enthusiastic amateur, Rev. C. H. 
Hyde, to whom I am indebted for his hospitality and for guiding 
me to many interesting places in the vicinity. 
Cuthbert, though south of latitude 32°, has an elevation of 
nearly 500 feet and is several miles outside of the pine-barrens, in 
a region of red hills not unlike some of those in Middle Georgia. 
Pinus palustris seems to be entirely absent from a considerable 
area (whose limits have not yet been accurately determined) 
around Cuthbert and extending through several counties, where 
P. echinata takes its place. 
On steep shaded hillsides and in rich ravines in this part of the 
state, where the original forest has not been destroyed, plants of 
more northern range abound, and I was continually surprised at 
finding such species as Adiantum pedatum, Phegopteris hexagonop- 
tera, Brachyelytrum erectum, Vagnera racemosa, Polygonatum bi- 
florum, Uvularia perfoliata, Trillium erectum, Pogonia verticillata
