Vaccinmm spp. Chrysopsis Mariana 



Sinilax glauca Aster concolor

 hill in Smithtown,* and (abundantly) in gravel between the rails 



Figure 2. Two scenes in the pine-barrens of Babylon, Oct. II, 1907. At left, 

 dry pine-barrens about a mile south of Pinelawn. Pines growing more densely than

 Shows principally Pinus, Acer, and Betula. 



of an old railroad which runs eastward from Garden City, Nassau

 side of the island, among the hills.
