Unfortunately, most of our earlysamples were studied at a time when sediment analy-ses were not readily available. More data would bedesirable, but some general patterns are apparent. Text-figure 31 is similar to Text-figure 29 in shows the observed ranges of mud in seven of themarine biofacies. It is based on 54 samples typical ofa single biofacies and 19 samples transitional betweentwo biofacies. As before, transitional samples are in-cluded in the bars for both biofacies. The number ofanalyses from single biofacies and transitional samplesis shown below each bar. Unlike Text-figure 29, how-ever, the bars are arranged in the order of appearanceof the biofacies outward from the edge of the Ever-glades. Text-figures 29-31, studied together, make clear theindependence of the bio
