[NO COPY OF PAPER AVAILABLE. ABSTRACT FROM SCHMIDT (1991).] Samples of 
southern Florida anchovies were collected around the southern end of the Florida 
peninsula including the Everglades National Park and were used to analyze variation in 
gill rakers, vertebrae, and fin rays. Most of the specimens identified belonged to the 
following five species: Anchoa lamprotaenia, A. hepsetus, A. nasuta, A. mitchilli, and 
Anchoviella perfasciata. An identification key is given based on meristic and 
proportional characters and pigmentation. Observations on their relative abundance and 
distribution around the tip of Florida are presented.

This study was centered on the relation between the composition of the micro-algal 
community, and water level, salinity, seasonal changes and macrophyte population at 
certain chosen places, which, it is hoped, would represent important habitats from 
fresh to salt water. The modes of regeneration of micro-algal populations after fire and 
drought, and the effect of natural changes of the environment on the micro-algal 
populations were also studied. The investigation was performed in the period 1964 - 
1967. The sampling station closest to Florida Bay was in Buttonwood Canal.

The Everglades and coastal swamps of southern Florida are regions of deposition of 
significant quantities of peat. Differences in vegetational and depositional environments 
in which these sediments have been deposited have given them distinctive 
paleobotanical and petrographic compositions. These differences are best detected by 
analyses of vertically oriented microtome sections. Nine of the more common peat 
types of southern Florida and their environments of deposition are described in this 
paper. These range from mangrove swamp and salt marsh peats, to brackish 
(transitional) swamp and marsh peats, to freshwater marsh and bay hammock peats.

Subtropical Lagoon. Miami, FL. June, 1987. Bull. Mar. Sci. . 44(1 ):365-86. 
Florida Bay contains 237 muddy islands with areas >100 m 2 that comprise 1.73% of 
the total area. The geographic distribution of islands is uneven; they are least numerous 
in the western Bay (0.76% of total area); most common in the central Bay (2.89%) and 
intermediate in the northeastern Bay (1.88%). Principal island habitats are: (1) red and 
black mangrove swamps, (2) algal and halophyte marshes, (3) grass 'prairies’ and (4) 
hardwood-buttonwood hammocks. A hierarchical classification of islands consists of 
islands that contain only habitat (1) mangrove swamps, (1) and (2), (1) through (3), 
and (1) through (4); these represent a developmental sequence. Islands are dynamic: 
habitats evolve, sometimes catastrophically, and islands migrate through erosion on 
more exposed margins and lateral accretion on protected margins. Cores from islands 
showed that some nucleated with transgression of the shoreline and persisted 
throughout the Holocene flooding of the bay, but others nucleated on mudbanks later in 
the history of the bay. The stratigraphic history of islands had no obvious relationship
