In the year 1534 when Cabeza de Vaca escaped from the aborigines of southern Texas by whom he had been enslaved for six years, he made his way on foot from the vicinity of Galveston to the west coast of Mexico. Although his Relación was not printed until 1542, the...

Thoron-tartaric acid systems for spectrophotometric determination of thorium
F. S. Grimaldi, Mary H. Fletcher
1956, Analytical Chemistry (28) 812-816
Thoron is commonly used for the spectrophotometric determination of thorium. An undesirable feature of its use is its high sensitivity to zirconium. This study describes the use of tartaric acid as a masking reagent for zirconium. Three tartaric acid-thoron systems, developed for the determination of thorium, differ with respect to...
Spectrophotometric study of the thorium-morin mixed-color system
M. H. Fletcher, R.G. Milkey
1956, Analytical Chemistry (28) 1402-1407
A spectrophotometric study was made of the thoriummorin reaction to evaluate the suitability of morin as a reagent for the determination of trace amounts of thorium. At pH 2, the equilibrium constant for the reaction is 1 x 106, and a single complex having a thorium-morin ratio of 1 to...

Biology of the sea lamprey in its parasitic phase
Phillip S. Parker, Robert E. Lennon
1956, Research Report 44
The investigations conducted on sea lampreys in aquariums were concerned with the duration of the parasitic phase of life, feeding, growth, and the interrelations between predator and host fish. Observations on lampreys reared from metamorphosis to maturity were made at the Fish and Wildlife Service Laboratory at Hammond Bay,...

Histopathology of fish: I. Techniques and principles
E. M. Wood, W. T. Yasutake
1955, Progressive Fish-Culturist (17) 166-171
The techniques of histopathology have been used for many years in the study of human and animal diseases. Until very recent times, however, histology has been applied to fish studies only very infrequently. This brief discussion is intended to acquaint the reader with the techniques and principles involved and to...
A mycosis-like granuloma of fish
E. M. Wood, W. T. Yasutake, W. L. Lehman
1955, Journal of Infectious Diseases (97) 262-267
Mycoses of systemic distribution are rarely observed in fresh-water fish in this country. In a recent review of atypical cell growths in fishes, Nigrelli cited the only known instance of a mycetoma in a North American fresh-water fish which occurred in the head of fingerling landlocked salmon from an Idaho...
Stratigraphic sections of the Phosphoria formation 1953 and 1954
R. W. Swanson, L.D. Carswell, R.P. Sheldon, T. M. Cheney
1955, Trace Elements Investigations 570
Since 1947, the U.S. Geological Survey has measured and sampled phosphatic parts of the Permian Phosphoria formation and its partial stratigraphic correlatives at many localities in Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, and Utah. Preliminary data on the thickness of the beds and their composition at localities sampled prior to 1952 have been...
Geology and beryl deposits of the Peerless pegmatite, Pennington County, South Dakota
Douglas M. Sheridan, Hal G. Stephens, Mortimer H. Staatz, James J. Norton
1955, Trace Elements Investigations 226
The Peerless pegmatite, half a mile south of Keystone, Pennington County, S. Dak., has been a large source of scrap mica and beryl. Feldspar, amblygonite, tantalite-columbite, and cassiterite also have been recovered. The pegmatite is intrusive into Precambrian quartz-mica schist. Much of the schist contains staurolite and chlorite. Staurolite has been...
Some effects of preciptiation on ground water in Wisconsin
William James Drescher
1955, Wisconsin Geological & Natural History Survey Information Circular 1
The importance of our water supplies has become increasingly apparent to most of us in recent years. The importance of water was forcefully dramatized by the water shortage in New York City in 1950. In nearly every State in the Union, one or more communities now has or has had...

Flow in many of the streams and springs in the area covered by this report increased as a result of the Arvin-Tehachapi earthquake. Although this increase in flow appears to have been temporary, there was still evidence of it in some of the streams and springs as late as...
