was subsequently republished in The Forester^ Vol. Ill, No. 12 

 (Dec, 1897). 



11. Matawan to Old Bridge, via Robertsville and Texas. 

 Cretaceous clay marl and clay. Distribution of Pimis echinata 

 Mill (Yellow Pine), and P. Virginiana Mill (Scrub Pine). 



12. Freehold to Red Bank, via Scobeyville. Cretaceous and 

 Tertiary marls. Occurrence of Pinus Strobus L,. (White Pine). 



13. Morristown and vicinity. Triassic trap and sandstone, 

 Archaean -and Terminal Moraine. 



14. Trenton and vicinity. Glacial and recent river gravels. 



15. Holly Beach and Anglesea. Sand dunes and salt marshes. 



16. Asbury Park and vicinity. Buried forests in recent sea- 

 beach deposits. 



17. Belvidere and vicinity. Terminal Moraine and extra- 

 morainic drift. 



18. Delaware Water Gap to Bushkill. Influence of the Dela- 

 ware river in modifying or extending the range of certain 

 species. 



19. Newark and vicinity. Salt marshes, with special refer- 

 ence to the occurrence of Taxodium distichum (ly.), L,. C. Rich 

 (Bald Cypress). This is apparently the only locality in the 

 state where this tree is known to be in existence independent 

 of cultivation. The trees are few in number and are accom- 

 panied by several specimens of ChamcBcyparis thyoides (L,.), B. 

 S. P. (White Cedar). I was, however, unable to determine 

 whether they were native there or had been introduced. The 

 trees appear to be about twenty or thirty years old and are grow- 

 ing in salt marsh — a habitat such as they naturally occupy fur- 

 ther south. Several reports have been made of old cypress 

 stumps having been found in swamps in other parts of the State, 

 but in no instance have I been able to verify them. 



20. Bridgeton. Tertiary (Miocene?) sandstone containing 

 fossil leaves. The occurrence of this fossil flora may be found 

 discussed in the chapter on the historical development of the 

 flora of the state.
