1964, Bulletin 1160
In 1954 four core holes were drilled in the pre-Selma Cretaceous strata of the Alabama Coastal Plain in order to get unweathered samples within a few miles of the outcrops. During the next few years several specialists studied the cores, and their reports are published as consecutive parts of this...
Water in the world
Luna Bergere Leopold
1964, The UNESCO Courier (17) 11-13
The earth, Including Its oceans and atmosphere, ls a giant distillation system whose operation brings about the distribution of fresh water throughout the world, from the frozen wastes of polar regions to the burning equatorial deserts. Stated in the simplest terms, distillation, condensation and liquid flow are the elemental processes...

1964, Journal of Inorganic and Nuclear Chemistry (26) 73-95
The crystal structures of the five known members of the series Ca2B6O11·xH2O (x = 1, 5, 5, 7, 9, and 13) have been refined by full-matrix least-squares techniques, yielding bond distances and angles with standard errors of less than 0·01 Å and 0·5°,...
Pentaborate polyanion in the crystal structure of ulexite, NaCaB5O6(OH)6*5H2O
Joan R. Clark, Daniel E. Appleman
1964, Science (145) 1295-1296
Triclinic ulexite crystals contain isolated borate polyanions [B5O6(OH)6]3- related to the well known pentaborate polyanion [B5O6(OH)4]- by addition of two hydroxyl groups to two opposite B-O triangles. The isolated ulexite polyanions form the [B5O7(OH)4]n3n- chains previously found in crystals of the related mineral probertite, NaCaB5O7(OH)4·3H2O....
Spectrophotometric determination of fluorine in silicate rocks
L. C. Peck, V. C. Smith
1964, Talanta (11) 1343-1347
The rock powder is sintered with a sodium carbonate flux containing zinc oxide and magnesium carbonate, the sinter-cake leached with water and the resulting solution filtered. Fluorine is separated from the acidified filtrate by steam distillation and determined spectrophotometrically by means of a zirconium-SPADNS reagent. If...
Cenomanian (Cretaceons) Foraminifera from the Puerto Rico Trench
R. Todd, D. Low
1964, Deep-Sea Research and Oceanographic Abstracts (11) 391-393
An assemblage of predominantly planktonic Foraminifera is discussed from rocks of Cenomanian age dredged from between 3,200 and 3,500 fm on the north slope of the Puerto Rico Trench. Thirty-three planktonic and benthonic species are described. Planomalina pulchella is new; nine species are specifically...
Geology and ground-water conditions of Clark County, Washington, with a description of a major alluvial aquifer along the Columbia River
Maurice John Mundorff
1964, Water Supply Paper 1600
This report presents the results of an investigation of the ground-water resources of the populated parts of Clark County. Yields adequate for irrigation can be obtained from wells inmost farmed areas in Clark County, Wash. The total available supply is sufficient for all foreseeable irrigation developments. In a few local...

The spottail shiner in Lower Red Lake, Minnesota
Lloyd L. Smith Jr., Robert H. Kramer
1964, Transactions of the American Fisheries Society (93) 35-45
On the basis of 14,564 spottail shiners (Notropis hudsonius) from Red Lakes, Minnesota, growth rates, strength of year classes, and food utilization were studied. Males and females had different body-scale relationships, and females grew faster than males. There was high correlation between water temperature and growth rate. Strength of year...

Status of the deepwater cisco population of Lake Michigan
Stanford H. Smith
1964, Transactions of the American Fisheries Society (93) 155-163
The species and size composition and the abundance of the cisco (Leucichthys spp.) population of Lake Michigan have undergone drastic changes since the sea lamprey became established in the 1940's. The changes were measured by the catches of gill nets of identical specifications fished at the same seasons, depths, and...
Infrared surveys of Hawaiian volcanoes
W. A. Fischer, R.M. Moxham, F. Polcyn, G.H. Landis
1964, Science (146) 733-742
Aerial infrared-sensor surveys of Kilauea volcano have depicted the areal extent and the relative intensity of abnormal thermal features in the caldera area of the volcano and along its associated rift zones. Many of these anomalies show correlation with visible steaming and reflect convective transfer of heat to the...
Crystal formation in furunculosis agar

1964, Progressive Fish-Culturist (26) 25-26
SINCE ITS INTRODUCTION SOME MONTHS AGO, FURUNCULOSIS AGAR has been employed in the diagnosis of suspect furunculosis and also as a general purpose medium. During our work with this medium we have noticed discrete "colonies," of crystalline material, which very closely resemble microbial colonies. These crystal colonies are compact and appear...
