11 Slide Hollow 



The semicircular hollow along the upper part of the 

 streamside trail just above Buffalo camp may have had 

 its origin from a slip of the adjacent slopes, but there 

 is not much definite evidence of any such origin at the 

 present time. Botanically the spot is interesting because 

 in spite of the early lumbering operations and even 

 recent clearing for firewood and camp sites, it possesses 

 a rich, fertile soil, probably in greater part obtained from 

 the leaching out of the most fertile elements of the soils 

 on the slopes above. Quaker run seems to have me- 

 andered over a part of the hollow at one time so that 

 there is some swampy and poorly drained soil. The 

 adjacent slopes are heavily wooded with second growth 

 forest upon a soil which in places is deep, fertile and 

 mellow. There is in consequence a rich and varied flora, 

 particularly of those species which prefer fertile calcare- 

 ous soils. The arborescent flora is not greatly different 

 from that of the slopes above but the relative abundance 

 of certain elements is somewhat different.
