 the coast and Lower Middle District. 



In the bogs at Delanco and Repaupo, close to the Delaware, and 

 to a less extent' in some of the others occur certain decidedly

 earlier phenomenon than the recent influx of upland species 

 across the fall line. These occurrences are parallel with the 

 presence of Rhododendron and Ilicioides in the swamps of the 

 Pine Barrens.
