ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS 



The assistance of the following individuals is gratefully 

 acknowledged; 



Julie H. Moore, Lee Otte, Chuck Roe and John Taggart reviewed 

 manuscripts and offered many helpful comments. Lee Otte also 

 provided invaluable insights into the ecology and biota of Pamlico 

 County pocosins, and shared information on conditions at several 

 sites. Others who assisted us in locating study sites include 

 Otto Florschutz, Jr., and Pat White. Staff of the U. S. Soil 

 Conservation Service, particularly Carolyn Boykin, 

 allowed us to draw upon the unpublished manuscript of the Soil 

 Survey of Pamlico County. Earl Faison ably assisted as our pilot 

 during aerial reconnaissance phases of the project.
