The Washita River alluvial deposits between Clinton and Aandarko primarily are fine-grained sand and clay, and lesser amounts of coarser-grained material. These deposits range in thickness from 0 to 120 feet and average about 64 feet. Well yields range from only a few gallons per minute in some of the...

Calculations of upper-mantle velocity from published Soviet earthquake data
Robert G. Rodriquez
1965, Crustal Studies Technical Letter 30
The lack of information on mantle velocities and crustal structure of the U.S.S.R. has led to a preliminary examination of published Soviet earthquake bulletins in the hope of deriving useful velocity and structure information from the data they contain. Mantle velocities deduced from earthquake data on several Russian earthquakes are...
Surface water records of California, 1964; Volume 1: Colorado River Basin, Southern Great Basin, and Pacific Slope Basins excluding Central Valley

Changes in the bottom fauna of western Lake Erie from 1930 to 1961
John F. Carr, Jarl K. Hiltunen
1965, Limnology and Oceanography (10) 551-569
Samples were collected at 40 stations in western Lake Erie in 1961 to determine the species composition, distribution, and abundance of macrobenthonic organisms and to document changes since 1930, when a similar survey was made. The fauna in 1961 was composed principally of Oligochaeta, Tendipedidae (7 genera), Sphaeriidac (15 species),...
Use of flumes in measuring discharge at gaging stations
F. A. Kilpatrick

Infectious pancreatic necrosis: its detection and identification
K. Wolf
1965, Progressive Fish-Culturist (27) 112-112
Ultimate control of infectious pancreatic necrosis (IPN) in hatcheries depends largely upon learning where the virus occurs. To detect the presence of virus either susceptible fish or susceptible fish cell cultures may be used as test systems. In modern virology, it is generally agreed that cell cultures are more convenient,...
What is water?
Water Resources Division, U.S. Geological Survey
1965, Report
If a schoolboy asked this question, you would answer it easily enough. "Why, water is a liquid found in and around the earth. Water is the sea, lakes, streams, springs and what comes gushing out of the tap when we turn it on." If he still looks a little unsatisfied,...

Body condition and response to pesticides in woodcocks
William H. Stickel, Wendell E. Dodge, William G. Sheldon, James B. DeWitt, Lucille F. Stickel
1965, Journal of Wildlife Management (29) 147-155
Response of woodcocks (Philohela minor) to heptachlor dosage was closely related to the physical condition of the birds, as reflected by body weight and by body weight in relation to capture weight: in a series of tests with underweight birds, nearly all woodcocks died at dosage levels well below those...
Rodent repellents, correlation between chemical structure and rodent repellency of benzoic acid derivatives
J.E. Fearn, J.B. DeWitt
1965, Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry (13) 116-117
Sixty-five benzoic acid derivatives were either prepared or obtained from commercial concerns, tested for rat repellency, and their indices of repellency computed. The data from these tests were considered analytically for any correlation between chemical structure and rat repellency. The results suggest a qualitative relationship which is useful...
