The short, wide-bowled, bent trumpet of the South Appalachian province is a local•development of the same general type, and the cliausy, massive, benttube of the Gulf and Middle Mississippi states is a still more markedvariant. The monitor and jjlatform shapes of the Central states departwideh from the simple tube, and no end of curious modifications ofform come from changes in the relative ])roportions and positions of crm.

A .synopsis of the range 6f form from thestraight tube to the platform with discoid bowl is given in figure29.
