Summary

Mud spring at top of wave-cut cliff on mud lump 3 miles southeast of Pass A Loutre lighthouse. This and other photographs were taken in low water season, when the springs and mud lumps are least active. To judge by the fact that the rim of the "crater" has been built up only a few inches the discharge from this spring; even when most active, is probably very slight; these spluttering, volcano-like gas-mud springs seem a fitting accompaniment to the weird silent and unforeboded rise and subsidence of the islands. Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana. November 25, 1912. Plate 1-C in U.S. Geological Survey. Professional paper 85. 1914.
