IN THE ABOVE TABLE.

8. For description of this locality see pages 250-251, 289-290. 
11. This place was partly drained by the lowering of the 
large lakes near Kissimmee in the ’8o’s, and once cultivated in 
pineapples, but has been abandoned for years. In its present 
condition the peat could easily be dug out by hand, but it is almost 
too impure for fuel. 
13. Peat mixed with sand below 15 feet. Vegetation on 
surface very similar to that at locality No. 4, but no diatoms have 
been found in this peat. 
14. This bog or bay is about. mile wide, and. probably 
still greater in length. At the point examined the bottom was of 
black sticky clay, instead of the usual sand. 
15. A very accessible locality, covering several hundred acres, 
dry enough at the time of my visit (in January, 1909) so that 
cattle could walk all over it. The peat is of good quality, except 
for containing a good many logs, but the quantity would be 
difficult to estimate, on account of the irregularity of the bottom. 
The depth varies from over 20 feet to almost nothing, without 
definite relation to the surface vegetation or to the distance from 
the margin. 
16. This peat looks almost like coarse sawdust and small chips, 
has no plasticity, and the water is easily squeezed out. Being 
thickly overgrown with large cypress trees, it could not be easily 
dug out, but its fuel value is remarkably high. 
17. Very accessible, but quantity too small to be of anv im¬ 
portance. 
18. Covers several hundred acres (see plate 26.1), and is close 
to a railroad. This peat is too coarse for a satisfactory fuel, but 
might be valuable for 'fiber. 
19. Similar to the preceding, and still more accessible, but 
smaller in extent. 
20. Peat composed largely of water hyacinth. Too shallow 
and remote from transportation to be of any value. 
21. For description of this locality see pages 258-260. 
22. Good peat, but too shallow to be worth much. 
23. An extensive deposit, favorably located, but rather shal¬ 
low and impure. 
30. Vegetation partly destroyed by ditching. Peat too shal¬ 
low and impure for fuel, better for agricultural purposes. Many
