As most of these species grow also in the regular hammocks 

 (see below) a detailed summary of their characteristics is hardly 

 necessary here. We may note in passing that about half of the 

 woody species are evergreen, and that there are more shrubs than 

 herbs. 



About one-third of these species are found also on sandy 

 river-banks in the Lower Oligocene region. 



18. Hammocks. 



Hammocks have been briefly defined elsewhere (see page 26). 

 In the region under consideration they are always situated at the 

 foot of a sand-hill (plate XVI, figs. 1 and 2), and bordering the 

 adjacent creek or river swamp, but in many cases the hammock 

 is reduced to such a narrow strip as to be scarcely distinguish- 

 able. In a few places the streams cut into the sand-hills, forming 

 bluffs without any swamp at their bases, and such bluffs usually 

 have a hammock vegetation.
