Extract

The investigation reported in this series was carried out with the object of determining the bark-beetle complex associated with slash accumulated under different cutting methods and the hiolosies, distribution, and abundance of the more important bark-beetle parasites and predators throughout the experimental area. This area is in the region termed by Halliday (1937), the B19 or foot-hills section of the Boreal Forest. The experimental area contained a pure stand of even-aged (80 years) lodgepole pine, Pinus contorta Dougl., var. latifolia Engelm., and is located near Strachan, approximately 20 miles southwest of Rocky Mountain House, Alberta.
