Excerpt from Contribution to the Flora of YucatanTaking the present data, the ¿ora of Cozumel is probably more West Indian than continental American in character, for, although the number of species, excluding doubtful ones common to Cozumel and the Continent, but not found in the West Indies, is somewhat larger than the number of West Indian species found in Cozumel, but not on the mainland, those of the latter category are of a more dis tinct type than those of the former. This may prove true, yet an element enters into the collection upon which Professor Hemsley based his observation of which he had no knowledge, the collector, Dr. Gaumer, a resident of the mainland, collected on Cozumel only such species as he had not observed on the Peninsula.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
