Although the shape of the plateau surface has considerable topograph- ical interest, the nature and content of the surface has a greater influence on the flora of the area and its relationship to the insect fauna. Approximately three-fifths of the total area (112 000 km^) consists of barren lands, boglands in various stages of decomposition, and innumerable lakes. The so-called "barrens" vary from those with virtually bare rock surfaces to those with sufficient soil cover to produce large areas of brushy plants and limited amounts of wild grasses. Soil cover tends to vary inversely with the elevation. Some of the bogs are shallow and partly covered with stunted spruce and larch. Others are much deeper and wetter and have a fresh, spongy sphagnum surface that has scarcely started to decay. Still others have reached the dry mature peat stage. The many lakes and ponds occupy shallow basins hollowed out by glacial action. All but a small part of the 15.
