Notes on the Aspect of the Vegetation of St. Eustatius. 267 



1. Eriodendron vegetation. 



2. Croton vegetation. 



3. Littoral vegetation. 



4. Eriodendron- and Croton vegetation intermixed with and 

 partly replaced by plants of the cultivated region. 



We will see in Chapter II of this Section that these two series of 

 names do not quite agree and this is the reason why I use the first 

 mentioned names when in the following lists I give a survey of 

 the distribution of the plants on the different parts ot St. Eustatius. 

 In these lists as well as in the other ones I give in this Chap- 

 ter the West Indian plants are printed in italics whereas the 

 plants that are cultivated on the Dutch West Indian Islands are 

 printed in small type.
