Fig. 22.-Deep tyty bay, treeless in middle, about a mile north of Carrabelle, Franklin County. June lo, 19o9. (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 localtities 36 to 38.
