Records, ages, and growth of the mooneye, Hiodon tergisus, of the Great Lakes
John Van Oosten
1961, Transactions of the American Fisheries Society (90) 170-174
Mooneyes (Hiodon tergisus) are very scarce in the upper three Great Lakes since only four specimens have been received from Lake Michigan, one from Lake Huron, and none from Lake Superior. The published statistics of the mooneyes are erroneous. Those of 1931 of Lake Michigan were perhaps chubs (Coregonus spp.)...
Mineralogy and geochemistry of vanadium in the Colorado Plateau
A. D. Weeks
1961, Journal of the Less-Common Metals (3) 443-450
The chief domestic source of vanadium is uraniferous sandstone in the Colorado Plateau. Vanadium is 3-, 4-, or 5-valent in nature and, as oxides or combined with other elements, it forms more than 40 minerals in the Plateau ores. These ores have been studied with regard to the relative amounts...
Radio-tracer techniques for the study of flow in saturated porous materials
H.E. Skibitzke, H. T. Chapman, G.M. Robinson, Richard A. McCullough
1961, International Journal of Applied Radiation and Isotopes (10) 38-42
An experiment was conducted by the U.S. Geological Survey to determine the feasibility of using a radioactive substance as a tracer in the study of microscopic flow in a saturated porous solid. A radioactive tracer was chosen in preference to dye or other chemical in order to eliminate effects of...
Palæomagnetic evidence relevant to a change in the earth's radius
Allan Cox, Richard R. Doell
1961, Nature (189) 45-47
INTEREST in the hypothesis that the Earth's radius has increased during geological history has been renewed in recent years because of several sets of independent observations and interpretations. From studies of the deformation of mountain ranges and the distribution of faults and oceans, Carey1 proposes an increase in the Earth's area...
Graphic and algebraic solutions of the discordant lead-uranium age problem
L. R. Stieff, T. W. Stern
1961, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (22) 176-199
Uranium-bearing minerals that give lead-uranium and lead—lead ages that are essentially in agreement, i.e. concordant, generally are considered to have had a relatively simple geologic history and to have been unaltered since their deposition. The concordant ages obtained on such materials are, therefore, assumed to approach closely the actual age...
Aqua de Ney, California, a spring of unique chemical character
J. H. Feth, S. M. Rogers, C. E. Roberson
1961, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (22) 75-86
The chemistry of water of Aqua de Ney, a cold spring of unusual character located in Siskiyou County, Calif., has been re-examined as part of a study of the relation of water chemistry to rock environment. The water has a pH of 11·6 and a silica content of 4000 parts...
Palæomagnetism of Hawaiian lava flows
Richard R. Doell, Allan Cox
1961, Nature (192) 645-646
PALÆOMAGNETIC investigations of volcanic rocks extruded in various parts of the world during the past several million years have generally revealed a younger sequence of lava flows magnetized nearly parallel to the field of a theoretical geocentric axial dipole, underlain by a sequence of older flows with exactly the opposite...

The trout fishery in Shenandoah National Park
Robert E. Lennon
1961, Special Scientific Report - Fisheries 395
Populations of brook trout in streams of Shenandoah National Park were reduced drastically early in the past decade by a succession of unusually severe droughts and floods. The drying of stream beds, predation, and scouring were principal factors in the loss of fish. The park was closed to fishing in...

Use of 3-trifluormethyl-4-nitrophenol as a selective sea lamprey larvicide
Vernon C. Applegate, John H. Howell, James W. Moffett, B. G. H. Johnson, Manning A. Smith
1961, Technical Report 1
The recent discovery of a group of chemical compounds that are significantly more toxic to sea lampreys than to other aquatic organisms offers promise of an early and effective control of this pest. The sea lamprey has all but destroyed the lake trout populations of Lakes Huron and Michigan. In...

Records of wells, water levels, and chemical quality of ground water in the French Prairie-Mission Bottom area, northern Willamette Valley, Oregon
Don Price
1961, Report
An investigation of the ground-water resources of the northern Willamette Valley was begun in 1960 as a cooperative program between the Ground Water Branch, U.S. Geological Survey, and the Oregon State Engineer. The northern Willamette Valley area is one of the fastest growing areas of ground-water use within the...
Geology and ground-water resources of Clayton County, Iowa

Detrital-appearing uraninite grains in the shinarump member of the chinle formation in northern Arizona
R.G. Petersen
1960, Economic Geology (55) 138-149
A sample of uranium-bearing conglomerate from the Shinarump member of the Chinle formation in northern Arizona was disaggregated in an ultrasonic separator. The sample, weighing 187 grams, contained about 60 grains of uraninite (from 0.1 to 1 mm diameter) which have the sphericity and polish suggestive of detrital grains. The detrital-appearing grains are associated with abundant...

Between September 1959 and June 1960 the United States Geological Survey and the Utah State Engineer, with financial assistance from Garfield, Millard, Piute, Sanpete, and Sevier Counties and from local water-users’ associations, cooperated in an investigation to determine the structural framework of the central Sevier Valley and to evaluate the...
A statistical analysis of the distribution of a larval nematode (Anisakis sp.) in the musculature of chum salmon (Oncorhynchus keta - Walbaum)
A.J. Novotny
1960, Experimental Parasitology (10) 60-67
The pepsin-HCl digestion technique is probably the best method of isolating Anisakislarvae from the musculature of chum salmon. Some losses can be expected due to breakage of the resistant cuticle of Anisakis, and can be estimated to be about 6% when counting the parasites with the unaided eye. Comparisons of Anisakis infections of the dorsal...
