Bonaparte Swamp 



In 1900 Doctor Peck gave a most interesting account of the vegeta- 

 tion of Bonaparte swamp in the extreme northern end of Lewis 

 county. This account does not indicate the time of year during 

 which his observations were made but reference to his notebooks 

 shows it to have been during July 1888, and the additional species 

 found there June 24-26, 1904, are recorded in Bulletin 94.
