Abstract

Ecologists are always interested in studying virgin stands of rapidly vanishing communities which are being destroyed by man. Such a stand was investigated in the Pearl River Valley in the southeastern part of St. Tammany Parish, Louisiana (Figs. 1 and 6). This swamp has not been subjected to drainage and at the beginning of the study no evidence of cutting was present. There appears to be no immediate danger of the area being cut over, due mainly to its youth, although active logging operations were renewed in the summer of 1937 near the town of Pearl River, Louisiana.
