Abstract

The hanging bog which drains into the southwest corner of Silver Lake in Dickinson County, Iowa, offers an environment which is rich in both O₂ and H₂S. The bog consists of numerous small shallow pools, one to ten feet long, one-half foot to four feet wide, and usually two to six inches deep. (Map, fig. 1). Water from the bottom of these pools has a noticeable odor of hydrogen sulfide. The flora of this bog are being studied by Dr. W. A. Anderson of the botany department of the State University of Iowa.
