Seasonal and depth distribution of larval bloaters (Coregonus hoyi) in southeastern Lake Michigan
LaRue Wells
1966, Transactions of the American Fisheries Society (95) 388-396
Larvae of bloaters (Coregonus hoyi) were sampled systematically in southeastern Lake Michigan, off Saugatuck, Michigan, from 9 April to 22 August 1964; limited additional sampling was done on 15 October. All collections were made with a 1-m plankton net of 0.66-mm mesh. A standard series of samples consisted of...
Oxygen fugacities directly measured in magmatic gases
M. Sato, T. L. Wright
1966, Science (153) 1103-1105
An electrochemical device was used to measure the fugacity of oxygen (fO2) in holes drilled through the crust of Makaopuhi lava lake, Kilauea Volcano, Hawaii. Results obtained within 6 months of the lake formation show that log fO2 normally varies linearly with the reciprocal of the absolute temperature, and that...
Crystallization of tholeiitic basalt in Alae Lava Lake, Hawaii
D. L. Peck, T. L. Wright, J.G. Moore
1966, Bulletin Volcanologique (29) 629-655
The eruption of Kilauea Volcano August 21–23, 1963, left 600,000 cubic meters of basaltic lava in a lava lake as much as 15 meters deep in Alae pit crater. Field studies of the lake began August 27 and include repeated core drilling, measurements of temperature in the crust and melt,...
Uranium and lead isotopic stability in a metamict zircon under experimental hydrothermal conditions
R.T. Pidgeon, J. R. O’Neil, L. T. Silver
1966, Science (154) 1538-1540
Abstract. Disturbance of the uranium-lead isotopic system in a metamict Ceylon zircon has been produced in a 2 molal NaCI solution at 500°C...
Some Debye temperatures from single-crystal elastic constant data
R. A. Robie, J.L. Edwards
1966, Journal of Applied Physics (37) 2659-2663
The mean velocity of sound has been calculated for 14 crystalline solids by using the best recent values of their single‐crystal elastic stiffness constants. These mean sound velocities have been used to obtain the elastic Debye temperatures θDe for these materials. Models of the three wave velocity surfaces for calcite are illustrated....
Genetic relations of oceanic basalts as indicated by lead isotopes
M. Tatsumoto
1966, Science (153) 1094-1101
The isotopic compositions of lead and the concentrations of lead, uranium, and thorium in samples of oceanic tholeiite and alkali suites are determined, and the genetic relations of the oceanic basalts are discussed. Lead of the oceanic tholeiites has a varying lead-206 : lead-204 ratio between 17.8 and 18.8, while...
Leveling
1966, Topographic instructions of the United States geological survey 2E1-2E5
Geodetic leveling by the U.S. Geological Survey provides a framework of accurate elevations for topographic mapping. Elevations are referred to the Sea Level Datum of 1929....

Hydrologic and climatologic data, 1965, Salt Lake County, Utah
W.V. Iorns, Reed W. Mower, C. A. Horr
1966, Utah Basic-Data Release 12
An investigation of the water resources of Salt Lake County, Utah, was undertaken by the Water Resources Division of the U.S. Geological Survey in July 1963. This investigation is a cooperative project financed equally by the State of Utah and the Federal Government in accordance with an agreement between the...
Some alkali and titania analyses of tektites before and after G-1 precision monitoring
D.B. Tatlock
1966, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (30) 123-128
A comparison of 55 older analyses of Australasian tektites with 110 modern precisely monitored analyses suggests that more than half of the older alkali and titania determinations are decidedly inaccurate and misleading. Deviations of the older analyses from the restricted values of the...
The 1963–65 eruption of Irazú volcano, Costa Rica (the period of March 1963 to October 1964)
K. J. Murata, C. Dondoli, R. Saenz
1966, Bulletin Volcanologique (29) 763-793
The 1963–65 eruption of Irazú, like all others of this volcano during the historic period, produced only ash and other fragmental ejecta without lava. The initial outbreak on March 13, 1963 started with a series of great explosions that hurled out much ash, blocks, and bombs, but the activity...
Mineral exploration and soil analysis using in situ neutron activation
F. E. Senftle, A.F. Hoyte
1966, Nuclear Instruments and Methods (42) 93-103
A feasibility study has been made to operate by remote control an unshielded portable positive-ion accelerator type neutron source to induce activities in the ground or rock by “in situ” neutron irradiation. Selective activation techniques make it possible to detect some thirty or...

Waste injection into a deep limestone in northwestern Florida
J.T. Barraclough
1966, Groundwater (4) 22-24
During a three-month trial period, 70 million gallons of industrial wastes were successfully injected at moderate pressures into a deep limestone in the westernmost part of Florida. The movement of these wastes is expected to be predominantly southward toward the natural discharge area which is presumed to be far out...
Geomagnetic polarity epochs: A new polarity event and the age of the Brunhes-Matuyama boundary
Richard R. Doell, G. B. Dalrymple
1966, Science (152) 1060-1061
Recent paleomagnetic-radiometric data from six rhyolite domes in the Valles Caldera, New Mexico, indicate that the last change in polarity of the earth's magnetic field from reversed to normal (the Brunhes-Matuyama boundary) occurred at about 0.7 million years ago. A previously undiscovered geomagnetic polarity event, herein named the "Jaramillo normal...
Cohenite in meteorites: A proposed origin
R. Brett
1966, Science (153) 60-62
Cohenite [(Fe, Ni)3C] is found almost exclusively in meteorites containing from 6 to 8 percent nickel (by weight). On the basis of iron-nickel-carbon phase diagrams at 1 atmosphere and of kinetic data, the occurrence of cohenite within this narrow composition range as a low-pressure metastable phase and the nonoccurrence of...
Exposure of basement rock on the continental slope of the bering sea
D.W. Scholl, E. C. Buffington, D.M. Hopkins
1966, Science (153) 992-994
Profiles of repetitive seismic reflections reveal that the Bering continental slope, outer shelf, and rise overlay an acoustically reflective "basement" which extends at least 750 kilometers parallel to the trend of the slope. This acoustic basement is usually covered by several hundred meters of stratified sediments at the top and...

The relation between molecular structure and biological activity among mononitrophenols containing halogens
Vernon C. Applegate, B. G. H. Johnson, Manning A. Smith
1966, Technical Report 11
The results of tests of the biological activity of certain nitrophenols containing halogen are reported. Some of these are shown to be significantly more toxic to larvae of the sea lamprey (Petromyzon marinus L.) than to fishes. It is proposed that the death of lamprey larvae exposed to these compounds...
