Abstract
Long Island, in the State of New York, is fringed on the south by a series of ocean beaches, the best known of which are Coney Island, Rockaway Beach, and Long Beach. East of Long Beach, and separated therefrom by Jones Inlet, is Jones Beach. Part of this is now a State Park and connected with the mainland of Long Island by a causeway extending over five miles of intervening water and meadow. The beach otherwise is completely surrounded by water and is about thirteen miles long. It is very narrow, in some places only a few hundred feet wide, the greatest width being less than one mile. This narrow sandy waste, with low beach vegetation, has no trees, and would seem to be a poor place for the development of the Mycetozoa. However, they may be found in sheltered spots usually close to the sand where moisture is retained; but the fruitings are not so numerous nor as large as in more favored locations.
