A study has been made with the idea of reporting upon representative patches of prairie and forest in a manner which would aid others in making similar local studies, and would at the same time preserve some records of the present condition of the prairie and forest. When this work was planned, we had no general or comprehensive discussion of the conditions of life upon the prairie and in the forest. For this reason a general summary of these conditions and a sketch of the general principles involved are given, so that the reader may gain some conception of the relation of the local problems to those of a broader and more general character.
