[but the Conecuh River does not touch Conecuh County ! ]. My first specimens were col- lected in the "pocosin," a few miles east of Troy, on Nov. 6, 1913, and a trunk of one of the trees, photographed the following spring (March 2T, 1913), was figured in the Bulletin of the Torreya Botanical Club 41:315, May, 1914. In January, 1920, Mr. J. O. Veatch found what is evidently the same thing in sandy hammocks in the southern part of Okaloosa County, Florida. In 1923 Mr. Ashe described his Q. Caput-rivuli, from West Florida, supposing it to be distinct from Q. Arkaiisana, but making no reference to my Alabama specimens. The specimens from east and west of the Mississippi River, with a gap of several hundred miles between them, seem to differ slightly, Q. Arkaiisana as originally figured having larger acorns than the Alabama tree; but for the present it seems best to treat them as all one species. *Trees and Shrubs, 2:121-122, pi. 152.
