Two hermaphroditic alewives from Lake Michigan
Thomas A. Edsall, Margaret I. Saxon
1968, Copeia (1968) 406-407
Hermaphroditism has been reported frequently among many of the Clupeidae, but only one account of hermaphroditism has been published for the alewife, Alosa pseudoharengus. Rothschild discovered four hermaphroditic alewives among 444 fish he examined from Cayuga Lake, New York. We recently collected two hermaphroditic alewives from Lake Michigan....
SrRbK and Sr isotopic relationships in ultramafic rocks, southeastern Alaska
M. A. Lanphere
1968, Earth and Planetary Science Letters (4) 185-190
Geologic evidence suggests that a series of ultramafic complexes of the ‘Duke Island type’ located along a 560 km-long belt in southeastern Alaska crystallized from magmas of ultramafic composition. Some geologists have proposed that these magmas were derived by fractional fusion of...

1968, International Journal of Rock Mechanics and Mining Sciences & Geomechanics Abstracts (5) 1-30
Seismic-refraction and electrical-resistivity measurements made along the walls of the Straight Creek Tunnel pilot bore indicate that both a low-velocity and a high-resistivity layer exist in the disturbed rock surrounding the excavation. Seismic measurements were analyzed to obtain the thickness and seismic velocity...

Surface area of montmorillonite from the dynamic sorption of nitrogen and carbon dioxide
Josephus Thomas Jr., Bruce F. Bohor
1968, Clays and Clay Minerals (16) 83-91
Surface area determinations were made on a montmorillonite with various cations emplaced on the exchangeable sites, utilizing nitrogen and carbon dioxide as adsorbates at 77°K and 195°K, respectively, in a dynamic system. From the fraction of a Mississippi montmorillonite less than about 1 μ in size, samples were prepared by replacing...
Determination of palladium, platinum and rhodium in geologic materials by fire assay and emission spectrography
J. Hapfty, L.B. Riley
1968, Talanta (15) 111-117
A method is described for the determination of palladium down to 4ppb (parts per billion, 109), platinum down to 10 ppb and rhodium down to 5 ppb in 15 g of sample. Fire-assay techniques are used to preconcentrate the platinum metals into a gold bead, then...
Nuclear magnetic resonance studies of the phosphorus(v) pesticides: A rapid determination of the isomer ratio of systox
H. Babad, T.N. Taylor, M. C. Goldberg
1968, Analytica Chimica Acta (40) 387-392
The integration circuit of the Varian A-60 nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometer is used in conjunction with vapor phase chromatography, to develop a rapid analysis technique for the determination of isomer ratios in technical Systox-Sulfotepp mixtures. The complete analysis requires less than 0.1 g of sample...
Ground-water reconnaissance of the Santa Barbara-Montecito area, Santa Barbara County, California

This is the third interpretive report prepared by the U.S. Geological Survey in cooperation with the Santa Barbara County Water Agency on the groundwater resources of areas along the south coast of the county. The two previous reports--one by J. E. Upson in 1951 and another by R. E. Evenson,...
Silver-bearing black calcite in western mining districts
D. F. Hewett, A. S. Radtke
1967, Economic Geology (62) 1-21
The name black calcite has been applied from time to time to a dark gray to black variety of calcite or aragonite in metalliferous ore deposits in the Western States. Most of the material shows curved, roughly rhombic cleavage. The color is due to dispersed minute grains of one or...

1967, Utah State Engineer Information Bulletin 18
An extensive aquifer test in southern Utah Valley, Utah County, Utah, was made during January-March 1967 by the U.S. Geological Survey in cooperation with the Utah State Engineer. The purpose of the test was to obtain data about the hydraulic characteristics of the aquifer in the valley and to determine...

Pharmacol. 6:321, 1964). Recently, certain organisms (A. S. Perry, S. Miller, and A. J. Buckner. J. Agr. Food Chem. 11:457, 1963; J. D. Pinto,...
A closed recirculated sea-water system
1967, Progressive Fish-Culturist (29) 133-139
Study of a virus disease in the chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) necessitated the use of a marine environment to study the long range effects of the disease and to complete the life cycle of its etiologic agent. A closed recirculated sea-water system was designed for use under experimental laboratory conditions so...

1967, Research Briefs: Fish Commission of the State of Oregon (13) 20-24
The absorption of sulfamethazine by yearling spring chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) was compared when administered in the Oregon Pellet and a fish-meat diet. The pelleted diet delivered the drug to the fish approximately twice as efficiently as the fish-meat diet. Dosage levels are recommended for both diets, and the efficacy...
Nutritionally induced hepatomagenesis of rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri)
1967, Research Report 70
Hepatoma in commercially reared rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri) was first seen at this laboratory in April of 1960. The subsequent discovery of it in near epizootic proportions in other hatchery-reared rainbow trout and cutthroat trout (S. clarki) populations throughout the United States precipitated extensive research by numerous agencies. Although the...
