Ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, and organic nitrogen were determined at 10‐day intervals for 24 ponds at Leetown, West Virginia. These ponds were stocked with 15,000 smallmouth black bass fry per acre and all fish reared in them were counted individually and weighed when the ponds were drained after an average season (during 1943) of 105 days. The purpose of the study was to determine what correlations, if any, existed between fish production and the nitrogen content of the water.
Correlations between ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate nitrogen and fish production were not evident. Larger quantities of these forms of nitrogen were present during the first half of the pond season than during the latter half.
A positive correlation was found between the organic‐nitrogen content of the water and fish production. This form of nitrogen, probably as a result of plant decay, was present in larger quantities during the latter half of the season than during the early season. Ponds which averaged 0.56 and 0.65 pounds of bass per acre per day had average organic‐nitrogen contents of 0.494 and 0.434 p.p.m. Ponds averaging 1.69 and 1.79 pounds of bass per acre per day averaged 0.811 and 0.746 p.p.m. of organic nitrogen, respectively.

Since the beginning of the cooperative program measurements of stage or discharge have been obtained at about 100 stations on Iowa streams and lakes for periods of various lengths. The longest records are those for the Mississippi River at Le Claire and Keokuk where authenticated data have been used to extend the record back to 1873 with decreasing accuracy for the earlier years. In addition to the records of daily stages or discharges, hundreds of measurements of a miscellaneous character also have been made at other points.

given by THOMPSON [see 7 of “References” at end of paper]. These and other early data were considered later by LEGGETTE [8]. He evaluated them by means of a graph of the cumulative departure of precipitation. More recent studies by LEGGETTE [9] and by the writer have lead to the procedure outlined in Part I of this paper [10], which was founded upon an empirical approach suggested by LEGGETTE and was later justified by analysis based on the theory of BOUSSINESQ [11].

Some previous investigations of solubility of silica in water, it is believed, have indicated a too great solubility as a result of failure to distinguish true solubility from colloidal dispersion. The solubility is essentially zero at temperatures below 200 degrees C. and increases to a maximum of 0.20 part silica per 100 parts water at 360 degrees C. Solubility falls off beyond 360 degrees C., but is only slightly less at the critical temperature of water. Solubility in the vapor phase of water appears to be a function of the density of the vapor phase, as well as of temperature. At high pressures, as the density of the vapor phase approaches that of the liquid, its ability to act as a solvent will approach that of the liquid.

The procedure is based on a multiple‐trilinear diagram (Fig. 1) whose form has been evolved gradually and independently by the writer during the past several years through trial and modification of less comprehensive antecedent forms. Neither the diagram nor the procedure here described is a panacea for the easy solution of all geochemical problems. Many problems of interpretation can be answered only by intensive study of critical analytical data by other methods.

The length of time of individual periods ranged from a few days up to more than a month, and were separated by intervals during which little or no lava flowed at the surface. A cyclic activity is therefore obvious, and a more or less permanent record remains in the form of the lava‐flows. The complete cycle, however, is believed to consist essentially of four stages: (1) Flowing lava; (2) maximum gas activity from the central crater (without flow); (3) the rise of lava in the vent; (4) breaching of the cone in preparation for renewed flow.

The purpose of this paper is to stress the significance of partial diagrams in a consideration of some confusing aspects of petrofabrics.
Any statistical study results in the accumulation of a mass of detail. In quartz‐fabric analyses the detail consists of the measuring and plotting of thousands of quartz‐axes; in an analysis of joints it consists of the measuring and plotting of thousands of joint‐attitudes. In each case limiting factors are required to give meaning to the accumulated data. The study of joints, to be significant, must be confined to an area with well‐integrated structural features. In quartz‐fabric studies discrimination between grain‐types is essential to the development of interpretable diagrams.

N. SAYRE and G. C. TAYLOR, Jr., to study water‐supply problems in Central America for the Coordinator of Inter‐American Affairs and to make recommendations for remedial measures to provide water for cities and towns, especially along the Inter‐American Highway. El Salvador, where a large number of towns along the highway have serious water‐shortages during the six‐month dry season from December to June, was selected as the country in which most of the work was to be done. The Direccion de Sanidad de Salvador, through its Director, Dr. V. A. SUTTER, provided a list of some 35 cities which suffered the most serious water‐shortages and each of these cities was visited. The geological and ground‐water conditions in the vicinity were studied by reconnaissance‐methods and remedial measures were recommended. In nearly every case the water‐shortage was due in large part to improper or incomplete development of the available supplies. Most municipalities obtained their water‐supplies from springs which either had inadequate flow or were improperly developed. In a few cases the spring‐flow was adequate but a large quantity of water was wasted either through poor distribution‐systems or through breaks in the line that conducted water from the spring to the city. Nearly all of the water works were unsanitary. In most places it appeared likely that adequate supplies can be obtained from wells at relatively shallow depth. In some places adequate supplies can be obtained by proper improvements of springs that are now in use. In a very few cases no remedy for the shortage of water could be suggested.
