Water resources inventory of Connecticut Part 3: lower Thames and southeastern coastal river basins
Chester E. Thomas Jr., Michael A. Cervione Jr., I.G. Grossman
1968, Connecticut Water Resources Bulletin 15
The lower Thames and southeastern coastal river basins have a relatively abundant supply of water of generally good quality which is derived from streams entering the area and precipitation that has fallen on the area. Annual precipitation has ranged from about 32 inches to 65 inches and has averaged about...

The northeast water supply crisis of the 1960's
Henry C. Barksdale
1968, Report
The water supply drought in the Northeast began in the autumn of 1961 and marked the beginning of a severe water shortage that continued with little relief through the summer of 1966. During this time, throughout much of the Northeast, water supplies remained below normal....

R.J. Archer, La Sala Jr.
1968, Basin Planning Report ENB-5
This reconnaissance study of erosion and deposition of sediment in the Erie-Niagara basin indicates that the highest sediment yields, on the order of 1,000 tons per square mile per year, occur in streams that drain upland areas. In contrast, for example, from the lowland part of the Tonawanda Creek basin,...

1968, Basin Planning Report ENB-4
The streams in the 2,000-square-mile Erie-Niagara basin of western New York contain mainly a calcium bicarbonate type of water whose dissolved-solids content generally varies between 140 and 240 ppm (parts per mill ion). Water "hardness" (expressed as CaCO3 ) is usually between 100 and 200 ppm, sulfate concentrations are between...

Surface water in the Erie-Niagara basin, New York
W. E. Harding, B.K. Gilbert
1968, Basin Planning Report ENB-2
The Erie-Niagara basin contains about 2,000 square miles in western New York State. The drainage systems of the area discharge into Lake Erie and the Niagara River at an average rate of about 1,730 mgd (million gallons per day). Annual precipitation ranges from about 32 to 44 inches. Evapo-transpiration losses...
The administration of sulfonamide drugs to adult salmon
D.F. Amend, J. L. Fryer
1968, Progressive Fish-Culturist (30) 168-172
The artificial propagation of salmon starts with the capture of adults as they ascend rivers to spawn. After capture, they are retained in specially constructed holding areas until sexually mature. Though holding periods vary with species, the spring chinook (Oncorhynchus tshawytsca) may be held as long as 4 months before...

Bonding in eight ordered clinopyroxenes isostructural with diopside
J. R. Clark, D.E. Appleman, J. J. Papike
1968, Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology (20) 81-85
Bond distances and angles in isostructural, ordered clinopyroxenes are compared for eight compositions, based on five new and three published crystal-structure refinements from X-ray diffraction data. Unit-cell parameters and configuration of the silicate chains are directly correlated with cation composition and distribution in the M2 and M1 sites. ...
Singing behavior of the Swainson's warbler
B. Meanley
1968, The Wilson Bulletin (80) 72-77
Studies of the singing behavior of the Swainson?s Warbler were conducted mainly near Macon, Bibb County, Georgia, and in the Dismal Swamp, Nansemond County, Virginia, during the springs of 1965 and 1966. Singing behavior on the ground and in trees is discussed. Swainson?s Warblers sing vigorously from the time they...

Anemia and mechanism of erythrocyte destruction in ducks with acute Leucocytozoon infections
R. M. Kocan
1968, Journal of Protozoology (15) 455-462
In the anemia which accompanies infection by Leucocytozoon simondi in Pekin ducks there was a far greater loss of erythrocytes than could be accounted for as a result of direct physical rupture by the parasite. Erythrocyte loss began at the same time the 1st parasites appeared in the blood and was severest...
Lack of association among duck broodmates during migration and wintering
R. K. Martinson, A.S. Hawkins
1968, The Auk (85) 684-686
Male (Lensink, 1964: 19) and female ducks tend to return to the area where they last bred or were raised (Sowles, 1955). Band recovery data show a similar tendency for ducks to return to wintering areas (Stewart et al., 1958; Martinson, 1966). Wintering British Columbia Mallard (Anas platyrhynchos) populations may be...
Blood parasites in North American waterfowl
C. M. Herman
1968, Transactions of the North American Wildlife and Natural Resources Conference (33) 348-359
One thing seems to stand out in the overall knowledge we have of the blood parasites of waterfowl, as previously noted by Herman and Wehr, (1954): the greatest potential of losses is in the younger age groups, usually those birds 5-10 weeks old. In Leucocytozoon infections, death occurs as early...

Catastrophic declines of three raptorial species in the United States have been accompanied by decreases in eggshell thickness that began in 1947, have amounted to 19 percent or more, and were identical to phenomena reported in Britain. In 1967, shell thickness in herring gull eggs from five states decreased...
