L. N. Locke, George E. Bagley, H.D. Irby
1966, Bulletin of the Wildlife Disease Association (2) 127-131
Acid-fast intranuclear inclusion bodies were found in the cells of the proximal convoluted tubules of the kidneys of mallards fed one, two, three or eight number 6 lead shot and maintained on cracked or whole corn and on grain-duck pellet diets. No acid-fast inclusion bodies were found in mallards fed...

Second nestings of the wood ducks
Frank B. McGilvrey
1966, The Auk (83) 303-303
This is a description of the renesting of two Wood Ducks (Aix sponsa) after hatching broods. I can find but two previous records of such behavior. Barnes (Auk, 65: 449, 1948) reported an incident of a hand-reared bird nesting in the wild in Indiana. This female was unable to get...

1966, Annals of the Entomological Society of America (59) 866-867
During studies on the biology and ecology of black flies (Simuliidae) at the Seney National Wildlife Refuge, Seney, Michigan, and at the Patuxent Wildlife Research Center, Laurel, Maryland, larvae of 3 species of black fly (Simulium vittatum Zetterstedt, S. aureum Fries, and S. decorum Walker) were collected and transported for distances of up to 50...
Trichinosis in Maryland raccoons
D.J. Winslow, D.L. Price, R.C. Neafie, C. M. Herman
1966, Bulletin of the Wildlife Disease Association (2) 81-82
During recent studies of experimental Chagas’ disease, trichinosis was found in 2 out of a total of 44 Maryland raccoons (Procyon lotor) examined histologically following necropsy. All raccoons were trapped near the towns of Beltsville or Laurel. The raccoons found to have trichinosis were trapped in the area of the...
Electron microscope study of Sarcocystis sp
V.H. Zeve, D.L. Price, C. M. Herman
1966, Experimental Parasitology (18) 338-346
Sarcocystis sp. obtained from wild populations of grackles, Quiscalus quiscula (Linn.), were examined to clarify the effect of the parasite on the host. Electron micrographs are presented to show areas of muscle destruction adjacent to the parasite which appear to be mechanically produced by the parasite. The microtubules within the...
Nesting of hooded mergansers of the Patuxent Wildlife Research Center, Laurel, Maryland
Frank B. McGilvrey
1966, The Auk (83) 477-479
The first known record of Hooded Mergansers (Lophodytes cucullatus) nesting on the coastal plain of Maryland was in 1961, when Mr. Francis Uhler (pers. comm) found two clutches in Wood Duck nest boxes in impoundments at the Patuxent Wildlife Research Center, about five miles southeast of Laurel, Maryland. R.E. Stewart...

Red-winged blackbirds searching beneath pine bark for insects in winter
B. Meanley
1966, The Auk (83) 480-481
Most observers usually associate the Red-winged Blackbird (Agelaius phoeniceus) with open country such as marshes or upland fields and their wooded or brushy borders. On the wintering grounds in the coniferous belt of the southeastern United States, however, Red-wings spend some of their time feeding in pine forests. In...

Monitoring wildlife for pesticide content
E. H. Dustman
1966, National Academy of Sciences NRC Publication 1402
In May 1963, the President's Science Advisory Committee issued a report entitled Use of Pesticides.17 the President already had requested the responsible federal agencies to implement the recommendations in the report. One of these recommendations was to provide for the development and coordination of a pesticide-monitoring program conducted on a continuing...
Summary of hydrologic and physical properties of rock and soil materials, as analyzed by the hydrologic laboratory of the U.S. Geological Survey, 1948-60
D. A. Morris, A.I. Johnson
1966, Report
The Hydrologic Laboratory was established in 1948 to serve as the central laboratory for the Ground Water Branch, Water Resources Division, of the U.S. Geological Survey. During the period it has been in existence, numerous samples of rock and soil materials have been analyzed. Analysis data on samples from 42...
Geohydrologic use of lithofacies maps in glaciated areas
Wayne A. Pettyjohn, P.G. Randich
1966, Water Resources Research (2) 679-689
Subsurface conditions may differ considerably from conditions indicated by surficial geologic maps, particularly in glaciated areas. Therefore, it is advantageous to use a series of lithofacies maps as a sequence of overlays plotted on transparent paper. Such maps permit direct visual determination of the lithology and areal extent of aquifers...

1966, Professional Paper 543-E
The Copper River Basin area is in south-central Alaska and covers 17,800 square miles. It includes most of the Copper River Basin and parts of the surrounding Alaska Range and the Talkeetna, Chugach, and Wrangell Mountains.

Effects of the March 1964 Alaska earthquake on the hydrology of the Anchorage area, Alaska
Roger M. Waller
1966, Professional Paper 544-B
The Anchorage hydrologic system was greatly affected by the seismic shock. Immediate but temporary effects included increased stream discharge, seiche action on lakes, and fluctuations in ground-water levels. Generally, ground-water levels were residually lowered after the initial period of fluctuation. This lowering is attributed either to changes in the discharge...
Effects of the earthquake of March 27, 1964, at Valdez, Alaska
Henry Welty Coulter, Ralph R. Migliaccio
1966, Professional Paper 542-C
Valdez is situated on the seaward edge of a large outwash delta composed of a thick section of saturated silty sand and gravel. The earthquake of March 27, 1964, triggered a massive submarine slide, involving approximately 98 million cubic yards of material that destroyed the harbor facilities and nearshore installations....
Effects of the March 1964 Alaska earthquake on the hydrology of south-central Alaska
Roger M. Waller
1966, Professional Paper 544-A
The earthquake of March 27, 1964, greatly affected the hydrology of Alaska and many other parts of the world. Its far-reaching effects were recorded as water-level fluctuations in gages operated on water wells and streams. The close-in effects were even more striking, however; sediment-laden ground water erupted at the surface,...
