but the farther we went the more ahundant it ijecame; and in 

 May, about half a mile farther in the same direction, we found 

 at least an acre in deep woods a little farther from the lake sfj 

 densely covered with the same plant that it was difficult to 

 walk throuj^h without tearinp; one's clothes on the sharp thorns. 



Rich woods on northeast side of Lake Miccosukee about one-half mile 

 southeast of Dogwood Landing, showing Fraxinus Americana, Quercus 

 Schneckii, etc. 4:28 p.m., March 2, 1924. Grossularia echinella occurs 

 near by, but does not happen to appear in this view. Note the scarcity of 

 shrubs and evergreens. It is interesting to compare this with fig. 5 in Geol. 

 Surv. Ala Monog. 8 (19 13), taken on a limestone slope in the Tennessee 

 Valley, and fig. 42 in 6th Ann. Rep. Fla. Geol. Surv. (1914), taken on a lime- 

 stone slope in West Florida. All three pictures were taken in March, when 

 most of the trees were leafless, and a few plants are common to all three places. 



On February 29th Mr. F. V. Coville arrived in Tallahassee for 

 a brief visit on his way to West Florida, and as he had done con- 

 siderable work with the Grossulariaceae I told him of our find, 

 and of our plans to visit the place again soon to look for flowers. 

 and he readily accepted an invitation to go along. On March 

 2nd we revisited the spot and found the gooseberry in bloom.
