From the Summary ... 'One of the most primeval-like ponderosa pine forest areas remaining in western United States is located in the Malay Gap area of the San Carlos Indian Reservation. We urge the San Carlos tribe to set aside this area as a natural reserve for observation, comparison and ecological research. In certain places there has been no logging or fire control previous to 1947. If such a reserve is established, controlled burning at 6-7 year intervals is recommended. When fuels have been reduced, lightning-set summer fires may be permitted to run their corse with minimum surveillance.'
