Book Description

Excerpt from An Ecological Survey in Northern MichiganTo the Honorable, the Board of Geological Survey of the State of Mich 1gan: Hon. Fred M. Warner, President. Hon. L. L. Wright. Hon. Patrick H. Kelley, Secretary.Gentlemen - I herewith transmit for publication, in the Annual Report of the Board for 1905, the following report. This is a contribution to the Biological Survey of the State, which the Legislature authorized you to supervise and execute by Act N o. 250 of the Session of 1905. The follow ing report is the result of a natural history survey made in the Porcupine Mountains and on Isle Royale by a party from the University Museum, University of Michigan. It is not a mere list of plants and animals, but a study of these forms in relation to their surroundings. It is thus a con tribution to the natural history of the Upper Peninsula, and in addition to its scientific value will, I trust, be of use to teachers in all parts of this region and stimulate them in the study of the forms of life about them.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
