(The above data for plants reported from the islands other 
than New Providence and Andros were taken from Hitchcock's 
Report.) 
In addition to the plants collected by us in New Providence 
and Andros, Professor Hitchcock lists in his report 148 more, 
collected from the various islands of the group. Of these 36 are 
grasses and 30 are widely distributed or introduced species, while 
Epidendrum | altissimum, Mimosa Bahamensis, Croton Eleuteria, 
Croton Hjalmarsonii, Pavonia Bahamensis and Eragrostis Baha- 
mensis are endemic, making a total of forty endemic species 
in the Bahama Islands. Тһе last two had been previously unde- 
scribed. 
NOTES ох THE LocaL DISTRIBUTION 
The Bahama pine (Pinus Bahamensis), so abundant on New 
Providence and Andros, is confined entirely to the northern islands 
of the group, being found in addition only on Abaco, Bahama and 
the Berry Islands, the first two being on the Little Bahama Bank 
and the latter a series of small cays on the Great Bahama Bank 
north of Andros. 
Although, as we have seen, New Providence and Andros have 
many plants in common, some interesting points of difference 
were noted. The numerous introduced plants so common about 
Nassau, as Argemone Mexicana, Asclepias Curassavica, Abrus 
precatorius, Bidens leucantha, Ageratum conyzoides, etc., were of 
course entirely wanting on Andros but, on the other hand, Aristo- 
lochiaceae, Cactaceae, Polygalaceae, and Loranthaceae were not 
seen on New Providence while represented by two or three species 
each on Andros. Passiflora pectinata, while very common in the 
pines on Andros (also reported from Turk's Island by Grisebach), 
was not found on New Providence, as was also the case with
