and Viburnum rufidulum were the principal shrubs about the 
station and made a rather close shrubbery throughout the woods. 
The list of herbs shows nothing especially distinctive in the way of 
species, as they are practically the same as those of the beech and 
short-leaved pine forests in which stations 3 and 4 were located. 
Station no. 3 was in an upland short-leaved pine forest about 1 
mile north of Tallahassee, on Orangeburg Sand. The mature trees 
were almost entirely Pinus echinata, but this wood was well 
advanced in the undergrowth toward the oak-hickory stage; the 
young half-grown trees of Quercus falcata, Q. stellata, and Carya 
alba, and also of Q. virginiana and some Fagus grandifolia 
caroliniana, made one story, under which was a lower growth of 
Quercus nigra, Q. laurifolia, QO. marilandica, Crataegus spp., Prunus 
angusitfolia, Cornus florida, Nyssa sylvatica, Vaccinium arboreum, 
Callicarpa americana, and Viburnum rufidulum, with numerous 
lianas as Smilax glauca, S. pseudo-china, Cissus spp., Vitis rotundi- 
folia, Gelsemium sempervirens, and Lonicera sempervirens. Common 
herbs of the station vicinity were Arisaema Dracontium, Oenothera 
biennis, Sanicula canadensis, Gerardia purpurea, Mitchella repens, 
Eupatorium album, and Chrysopsis mariana. 
Stations 2 and 3 were operated for 19 months continuously 
without a break or mishap. 
Station no. 4 was in a beech wood about one-fourth of a mile 
east of the station in the pine forest. To the west and south of this 
forest was a short-leaved pine wood in a still later stage than the one 
in which station 3 was placed. The proportion of deciduous trees 
was larger and the trees older, while the undergrowth was much less 
dense, which may largely be accounted for by the fact that this 
wood had been stocked with hogs and cattle for some years. To 
the north its character changed quite abruptly, the pines being few 
and the number of mature deciduous trees not large, but the under- 
growth was very dense. Throughout this wood (an area of some 
40 acres) were scattered beeches of all ages. Magnolias were less 
common. The beech opening in which the station was located 
apparently had once been somewhat swampy, although but little 
lower than the rest of the ground and scarcely wetter except after 
heavy rainfalls. Asa whole the forest was level and formed part of
