OBSERVATIONS ON THE FLOWERING PLANTS, FERNS AND 

 FERN ALLIES GROWING WILD IN MARQUETTE COUNTY, 

 MICHIGAN, IN 1916 AND 1917, ESPECIALLY IN THE VI- 

 CINITY OF THE HURON MOUNTAIN CLUB 



By Charlies Ke;ene; Dodge 



Introductory Note 



The manuscript of this paper was completed by Mr. Dodge shortly before 

 his death. It represents the results of several field trips to Marquette 

 County, the last in the spring of 1917, in the course of an investigation of 

 the phanerogamic flora of the state upon which he had been engaged for the 

 Michigan Geological and Biological Survey. Two trips were made to the 

 Huron Mountains, in the summer of 1916 and the early spring of 1917, 

 and on the second trip Mr. Dodge was accompanied by Mr. B. Gladewitz. 

 The mountains are specifically mentioned as a locality in the paper for the 

 convenience of the summer residents, and a map of the part most carefully 

 worked is appended. 



The paper has been edited for publication by Messrs. C. Billington and 

 B. Gladewitz.
