Mendall P. Thomas, Gene A. Bednar, Chester E. Thomas Jr., William E. Wilson
1967, Connecticut Water Resources Bulletin 11
The Shetucket River basin has a relatively abundant supply of water of generally good quality which is derived from precipitation that has fallen on the basin. Annual precipitation has ranged from about 30 inches to 75 inches and has averaged about 45 inches over a 35-year period. Approximately 20 inches...
The Parkfield-Cholame, California, earthquakes of June-August, 1966; instrumental seismic studies
Jerry P. Eaton
1967, Crustal Studies Technical Letter 1
U.S. Geological Survey instrumental seismic studies in the Parkfield-Cholame area consist of three related parts that were undertaken as pilot studies in a program designed to develop improved tools and concepts for investigating the properties and behavior of the San Andreas fault. These studies include: 1. The long=term monitoring of...
Comparison of three methods of sampling trout blood for measurements of hematocrit
Erwin W. Steucke Jr., Richard A. Schoettger
1967, Progressive Fish-Culturist (29) 98-101
Trout blood is frequently collected for hematocrit measurements by excising the caudal fin (Snieszko, 1960), but this technique is impractical if valuable fish are to be sampled or if repeated observations are desired. Schiffman (1959) and Snieszko (1960) collected blood from the dorsal aorta and the heart, but these methods...
Low-temperature incubation using a water supply
K. Wolf, M. C. Quimby
1967, Applied Microbiology (15) 1501-1501
Cell and tissue culture has been concerned primarily with homiothermic vertebrate cells which require incubation at about 37 C, and there is a great variety of incubators designed to maintain temperatures which are usually above ambient. The culture of poikilothermic vertebrate cells--and invertebrate, plant, and some microbial cells--can often be...

1967, Water Data Report NM-66-1
The surface-water records for the 1966 water year for gaging stations, partial-record stations, and miscellaneous sites within the State of New Mexico are given in this report. For convenience there are also included records for a few pertinent gaging stations in bordering States. The records were collected and computed by...
Magruder Park Swamp

1967, Prince Georges Post (36) 2
The last Tuesday in August, between five-thirty and seven in the evening, we zigzaged through this glorious jungle, attended by a family of Wood Pewees for whom we seemed to be stirring up a feast of flying insects. There was gentle background music by Mole Crickets....
An intergeneric hybrid wood warbler (Seiurus x Dendroica)
L.L. Short Jr., Chandler S. Robbins
1967, The Auk (84) 534-543
Wild hybrid birds are always of interest with regard to our understanding of the variation encountered in nature. They may also be of ore or less taxonomic significance, depending on the frequency of their occurrence and other factors. We herein report and describe an apparent hybrid Northern Waterthrush (Seiurus noveboracensis)...

Aging mourning doves by outer primary wear
H. M. Wight, L. H. Blankenship, R. E. Tomlinson
1967, Journal of Wildlife Management (31) 832-835
Many immature mourning doves (Zenaidura macroura) cannot be aged by the conventional white-tipped primary covert method if molt has proceeded beyond the 7th primary. A new method of aging doves in this group is based on the presence (immature) or absence (adult) of a buff-colored fringe on the tips of...

Haemoproteus, a blood parasite, in domestic pigeons and mourning doves in Maryland
J. O. Knisley Jr., C. M. Herman
1967, Chesapeake Science (8) 200-205
The occurrence of Haemoproteus in pigeons throughout the world and in mourning doves in the United States is reviewed. Haemoproteus has previously been reported only once from pigeons in Maryland. During this study it was found in all of 18 pigeons from one area but in none of 12 from...

Occurrence of the saw-whet owl in Florida
F.H. Lesser, A.R. Stickley
1967, The Auk (84) 425-425
On 31 October 1965 at 1000 hours we observed and collected a Saw-whet Owl (Aegolius acadicus) in adult plumage and in apparently good physical condition at Ponte Vedra, St. Johns County, Florida. The bird flew from beneath a truck to a cross beam in a garage adjoining a large, fresh-water,...
Care, food consumption, and behavior of bald eagles used in DDT tests
N.J. Chura, P.A. Stewart
1967, The Wilson Bulletin (79) 441-448
Twenty-seven Bald Eagles captured in southeastern Alaska were used in feeding tests to determine the effects of DDT in the diet.....Trapping and housing of eagles are discussed. Various aspects of eagle behavior and handling techniques are also presented. Recommendations are made for preventing injuries and increasing the comfort of captive...
Lead poisoning in Canada geese in Delaware
George E. Bagley, Louis N. Locke, Gordon T. Nightingale
1967, Avian Diseases (11) 601-608
Trainer and Hunt (9) stated that lead poisoning of Canada geese (Branta canadensis) had been reported from three states: North Carolina, Indiana, and Wisconsin. More recently, the Mississippi Flyway Council (8) cited suspected cases of lead poisoning of Canada geese in Massachusetts, New York, Pennsylvania, Delaware,...
Residues in fish, wildlife, and estuaries. Indicator species near top of food chain chosen for assessment of pesticide base levels in fish and wildlife--clams, oysters, and sediment in estuarine environment
R.E. Johnson, T.C. Carver, E. H. Dustman
1967, Pesticides Monitoring Journal (1) 7, 10-13
Federal efforts to determine pesticide levels in fish and wildlife are being carried out by the Bureau of Sport Fisheries and Wildlife, U. S. Department of the Interior. Monitoring estuarine pesticide levels in clams, oysters, and sediments is a joint endeavor of the Bureau of Commercial Fisheries, U. S....
Retention of extra-wide, lock-on, and regular bands on waterfowl
R. K. Martinson, Charles J. Henny
1967, Special Scientific Report - Wildlife 108
In tests of three types of bands -- extra-wide bands, lock-on bands, and regular U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service bands -- little difference was noted in the retention qualities of the three types on waterfowl. Therefore, there appeared to be no advantage in using either the extra-wide or the...
Glaucophane schists from California and New Caledonia
R. G. Coleman
1967, Tectonophysics (4) 479-498
In California and New Caledonia, metamorphism of eugeosynclinal rocks has produced blueschist facies in limited areas. The outcrop pattern and structure suggest that the shape of the zone of blueschist metamorphism is elongate parallel to major tectonic trends. Juxtaposition of large ultramafic bodies, subparallel to the blueschist belts, indicates a...
Tectonics of Antarctica
Warren Hamilton
1967, Tectonophysics (4) 555-568
Antarctica consists of large and wholly continental east Antarctica and smaller west Antarctica which would form large and small islands, even after isostatic rebound, if its ice cap were melted. Most of east Antarctica is a Precambrian Shield, in much of which charnockites are characteristic. The high Transantarctic Mountains, along...
The petrography of some Illinois Pleistocene and recent sands
R. E. Hunter
1967, Sedimentary Geology (1) 57-75
Some Recent and Pleistocene sands of Illinois and the nearby Missouri River were separated into three groups by petrographic characteristics that reflect source material. The sands derived largely or entirely from the glacial material of Illinois and the upper Mississippi, Wabash, and Lake Michigan drainage basins contain types of feldspars...
Techniques for computing rate and volume of stream depletion by wells

1967, Report
The effects on flow of a nearby stream from pumping a well can be calculated readily using dimensionless curves and tables. Computations can be made of: (1) The rate of stream depletion at any time during the pumping period or after the cessation of pumping; (2) The volume induced from...
