Fig. 22—Deep tyty bay, treeless in middle, about a mile north of Car- 
rabelle, Franklin County. June io, 1909. (Locality No. 37). 
The bays in the flatwoods hardly ever contain more than a foot 
or two of peat, and that is of course full of woody roots; but those 
of the West Florida coast region are deeper, one near Carrabelle 
(fig. 22) being at least ten feet deep, and treeless in the middle. 
Analyses of peat from three bays on St. James Island, Franklin 
County, will be found under localities 36 to 38.
