All of the Islands, with the exception of Bois Blanc, are Wildlife Research Areas and are administered by the Wildlife Division. • Ecological Classification – North and South Fox Islands and High Island fall within the Manistee sub-region; Beaver Island falls within the Cheboygan sub-region; and Bois Blanc Island falls within the St. Ignace sub-region as classified by Albert (1994). • Landform – The Fox Islands and High Island consists of sand dunes or other lacustrine features. Beaver Island is generally similar to other lake plains in the state, much of it a series of beach ridges and adjacent wet depressions. Bois Blanc Island has flat sand or clay deposits where only a few inches of elevation change can alter drainage conditions. Ownership and Size : • Bois Blanc is approximately 23,700 acres in size. The State of Michigan administers about 10,300 acres (43%) of this land. The State land includes three designated Natural Areas: 1) Mixed Forest - 968 acres; 2) Northshore - 817 acres; and 3) Snake Island/Mud Lake - 244 acres. Timber management opportunities on the island are limited due to economics and logistics of travel. • Beaver Island Group o Beaver Island is approximately 36,800 acres in size.

Scharfl ABSTRACT The distribution of ten flea species collected from five small mammal host species on 13 Lake Michigan islands is described. Four new eastern and southern records for Hystrichopsylla dippiei Rothschild are given. Speculative suggestions are made regarding dispersal routes of some of the small mammal host species, and the distribution of flea species from Peromyscus maniculatus gracilis LeConte is dis­ cussed in the context of island biogeography theory. I collected fleas from small mammals on Lake Michigan Islands from 1%5 to present. Two other previous studies from Lake Michigan islands (Hatt et.
