In the southeastern DOWN of Georgia lies the great swamp, a primeval wilderness rich in treasure for the modern biologist Mystery and enwachantment live in its coffee-colore- d ters, its cypresses and moss-hun- g lit plney woods. sun- The Okeflnokee owes a great measure of Its unique charm to its prairies wide, unspoiled expanses filled In large part with a tropical abundance of aquatic plants and flanked with dense bays of stately cypress On these one may delight his soul amid scenes of unearthly loveliness that have changed virtually not at all since the Seminole warriors poled their over them. The Okeflnokee prairies are not land, but water! , In these morasses are many areas of open water, varying from lakes a quarter of a mile in diameter to alii gator holes a rod in width. The snowy blossoms of the white waterllly gladden many acres of the deeper water, and the golden, globular flowers of yellow or bonnets, glow in a setting of huge green leaves. In the shallows yellow-eyegrass, Its tall stems swaying, forms A sea of pleasant color. Resort of Hunters and Trappers. For generations swamp hunters have pushed over these prairie waters, standing up In their slight boats and bending rhythmically with graceful thrusts of their long poles. The skilled boatman is able to make better progress over the prairies than the bear he chases. Old hunters knew well how to drive a deer out of a prairie head In the direction of a waiting companion. In winter the trapper camps for weeks at a time in these heads, tending bis line of traps and taking the pelts of raccoon, otter, wildcat and dug-out- s v pond-lilie- s, d - opossum. 0 f To pass from the sparkling sunshine of the prairies Into the gloom of the adjoining cypress bays is a striking The huge trees, but(experience. tressed by knees, stand in close ranks in a foot or so of water.

When one considers that the lake is barely a quarter of a mile long, with an average width of perhaps 30 yards, a years catch of more than 40,000 fish (recorded in 1925) Is astounding. Farther within the swamp, at Billys, Mines, and Buzzard Roost lakes, or on the Big Water Or the Suwannee canal, The v there is likewise rare fishing. bulk of a days catch with hook and line Is made up of such basses as the warmouth, the stump knocker," and with a goodly prothe portion of mudfish and catfish.

With varied habitats to suit the requirements of different species; with unlimited breeding places in the cypress ponds, cypress bays, and prairies; with abundant rains in normal years, and with a warm and humid climate, the Okefinokee is a veritable frog paradise. Let copious showers fall during a warm summers day and by nightfall the bedlam of amphibian voices arising from the swamp waters and their tangled margins is beyond description. The field herpetologist's trained ear picks out of the din the shrill peeping of the oak toad, the droning roar of the southern toad, the plainly uttered giks of the cricket frog, the insectlike chirp of the little chorus frog, the s machine-gu- n bark of the notes tree frog, the of the Florida tree frog, the deep, hollow roll of the gopher frog, the clung of the green frog, the grunts of the southern bullfrog, the clattering chorus of the southern leopard frog, the hammer strokes of the carpenter frog, and the lambs toad. bleating of the Alligators and Birds.

While some of these summer residents move southward with the approach of cool weather in the autumn, their places are more than filled by hardier species coming from the northern states and Canada to find a congenial winter home in the swamp. By far the largest mammal of the swamp, and perhaps the most interesting, Is the Florida bear. From early times it has attracted the swamp hunters not so much because of any particular value of its hide and flesn as by reason of the thrill that comes from matching wits and strength with An addiso formidable an animaL tional reason for the pursuit of the bear Is its numerous depredations on the hogs that range through the piney woods and the swamp borders. At a hogs prolonged squealing the residents become instantly alert, for it generally l means that a bear has seized the and is making off with it toward the depths of the swamp. Guns are hurriedly lifted from peg3 on the cabin walls, the dogs are called ' together with the hunting horn, and the chase is on. For generations the sturdy, and gifted people of the Okeflnokee have led a rather Isolated and primitive existence, some of them on islands within the swamp and others along its borders. They repre n sent some of the purest stock left in our country, though a few of the families have a; align! mixture of French Huguenot and even Seminole Indian blood. In ancestry speech, folksongs, and general social ways there is a marked affinity between the residents of the and those of the ApOkeflnokee palachian mountains.
