the temperate species are here repre-
scented by varieties or subspecies which
take the place of the northern types.
The Everglades owe their charac-
teristic features of marsh, sloughs, and
shallow ponds, to their recent origin
and their slight elevation above the
sea level. Their general surface is
not high enough to permit the forma-
tlon of deep valleys by er0ding
streams: and the water appears to
ooze slowly seward, on the west side
toward the southwest and on the east
side toward the southeast.
Royal Palm State park of course
takes It's name from the royal palms
(Roystonia regia) which possibly form
its chief ornament. These splendid
palms often rise to height of 100
feet, dwarfng most OF their competi-
tors of the palm family A worthy
rival Is the magnificent live oak (Quer-
Gus Virginiana), which sometimes
spreads its moss-coyered branches over
an area 200 feet In diameter. In the
way of curious forest growths is the
poison tree (Metopium taxiferum), a
giant sumach with smooth spotted
trunk; its sap acts very much on the
human skin like the poison ivy of the
north. Another tree to be catalogled
among the curiosities is the strangling
fig (Ficus aurea). 1t begins life some
what like a mistletoe, sprouting from
a tiny seed dropped on the limb of a
tree. 1t soon sends down threads
which take root when they reach the
ground, and which grow together wher-
ever they touch one another. forming
a meshwork about the trunk of the
host which is strangled to death. The
photographs reproduced herewith
shows a strangling fig embracing a
cabbage palm.
The list of beautiful and interesting
trees Is long. Some of the more strlk.

simaruba). called West Indian birch

The ferns are legion, and include
Spanish moss, festooning the trees.
Orchids, climbing plants that bloom,
and flowers in great variety are every
where.
There's the identical spider that
spins webs from which silk Is made.
The moths ard butterflies are many
and beautiful The zebra butterfly
[Heliconius charitoniusl is the only
representative of its family in the Uni
ted States; 1t has such an unpleasant
taste that insectivorous birds will not
eat it. The mosquitoes are many, but
do not communicate disease to human
beings.
The fishes are many and some OF
them are rare and curious. The big
mouthed bass (Mieroperus salmoides)
here sometimes attains weight OF 70
and even % pounds. The mudfish IS
believed to survive periods Of drought
by hurying itself In the mud. Yet
local sportsmen say it is zone of the
hardest fighters that ever took q
hook" A mature female leastfish Is
only an inch long and male three
quarters of an inch. The killitish
brings forth its young alive.

can dine on alligators' eggs; they're
as good as turtles eggs when fresh.
Snakes there are in plenty-if you go
looking for them-rattlesnakes too,
and the water moccasin.
In birds the park is rich both be-
cause of its climate and because 1t
is on the highway of migratory birds
which spend their winters in the Wcst
Indies.
In southern Florida many wen.
known birds, as well as mammals, are
represented by varieties or subspecIes
quite distinct from the typical forms
occurring farther north. Thus we have
the Florida quail, Florida crow, Flor
ida wren. and the Florida cardinal.
all of which are essentially Floridian,
| and the Florida wild turkey, which
is fast disappearing. One of the most
/ beautiful birds. a tropical species now
fast disappearing from Florida and
occurring nowhere else in the United
States, except in Texas, is the roseats
spoonful (Ajaia ajaja).
The Seminole Indians of the Ever
glades are comparatively recent in
| truders. who retreated to the Swanps
| from the lower Greek towns in the
eighteenth century. Most of them
have been transferred TO Oklahoma.
In the time of Columbus. the most i'm
portant tribe of this region was the
Caloosas; it was they who repealed
Ponce de Leon In 1913. Very little is
known about the aboriginal Indians.
The TeQuestas, who occupied the
Everglades before the Seminoles. are
described In the narrative of Jonathan
