In the Upper Peninsula Camnula pellucida is dominant, whereas Melano- 
plus mexicanus is most abundant in the Lower Peninsula, with. C_» pellucida rank* 
ing third and M. femur - rubrum second* The Upper Peninsula is rugged mountain- 
ous "old land" not completely worn down by erosion, and the Lower Peninsula is 
a portion of the old coastal plain with the soil varying from a light sandy 
loam in the north-central part to a dark clay loam in the southwest and south- 
east* This may explain the difference between the dominant species found in 
the Upper ana the Lower Peninsulas*
