I I. This place was partly drained by the lowering of tl.e large lakes near Kissimmee in the '8o's, Tand 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 ahuncst too impure for fuel.
13. Peat mixed with sand below I5 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 '4 mile wide, and probably still greater in length. At the point examined the bottom was of black sticky clay, instead of the usual sand.
I5. A very accessible locality, covering several hundred acres, dry enough at the time of my visit (in January, 19o9) 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 any importance.
I8. 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 258-26o.
22. Good peat, but too shallow to be worth much.
23. An extensive deposit, favorably located, but rather shallow and impure.
30. Vegetation partly destroyed by ditching. Peat too shallow and impure for fuel, better for agricultural purposes. Many
