The relative efficiency of nylon and cotton gill nets for taking lake trout in Lake Superior
Richard L. Pycha
1962, Journal of the Fisheries Research Board of Canada (19) 1085-1094
The change from cotton to nylon twine for gill nets in 1949–52 resulted in a sharp increase in the efficiency of the most important gear used for taking lake trout in Lake Superior, and, consequently, biased estimates of fishing intensity and abundance severely.From early May to the end of September...

Oxygen adsorption and the magnetic susceptibility of ice at low temperatures
F. E. Senftle, A. Thorpe
1962, Nature (194) 673-674
WHEN dealing with the magnetic susceptibility of tumour tissue1, we reported the magnetic susceptibility of ice at various temperatures from 273° K. down to 77° K. Since this publication, the authors have made many susceptibility measurements of ice, using the same equipment, and have obtained similar results, that is, a...

J. S. Williams
1962, Professional Paper 257-C
This report, covering about 450 square miles in southern Cache Vally, Utah, is one of a series dealing with the geology of Pleistocene Lake Bonneville. The report summarizes in tabular form the Paleozoic formations that are exposed in the mountains adjacent to Cache Valley and describes briefly the Tertiary formations—the...
Problem of the thermodynamic status of the mixed-layer minerals
E-An Zen
1962, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (26) 1055-1067
Minerals that show mixed layering, particularly with the component layers in random sequence, pose problems because they may behave thermodynamically as single phases or as polyphase aggregates. Two operational criteria are proposed for their distinction. The first scheme requires two samples of mixed-layer material which differ only in the proportions...

Summary of new data on rock samples G-1 and W-1
M. Fleischer, R.E. Stevens
1962, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (26) 525-543
Published and unpublished analyses for major and minor constituents that have become available since April, 1960, are collected for the granite G-1 and diabase W-1. “Best values” are suggested for some of the elements....
Rivers
Luna Bergere Leopold
1962, American Scientist (50) 511-537
Rivers are both the means and the routes by which the products of continental weathering are carried to the oceans of the world. Except in the most arid areas more water falls as precipitation than is lost by evaporation and transpiration from the land surface to the atmosphere. Thus there...

Distribution and detoxication of toxaphene in Clayton Lake, New Mexico
Burton J. Kallman, Oliver B. Cope, Richard J. Navarre
1962, Transactions of the American Fisheries Society (91) 14-22
The fate of toxaphene, applied in three treatments at a total calculated concentration of 0.05 p.p.m. to Clayton Lake, New Mexico, was followed over a 1.5-year period. A detailed description of the chromatographic method of analysis is given. Water concentrations of toxaphene were higher in leeshore samples than in windward...

Relation of the deep and shallow artesian aquifers near Lynndyl, Utah
R. W. Mower
1961, Utah State Engineer Information Bulletin 7
Ground water occurs in several aquifers in the vicinity of Lynndyl, Utah. There are one shallow perched water-table aquifer and at least two artisan aquifers. The perched aquifer is not related to the artisan aquifers and, because it is relatively unimportant, is not discussed here. Pumping tests made during the...
