Water resources of the Guanica area, Puerto Rico: A preliminary appraisal, 1963
Neal E. McClymonds
1967, Report
Guánica and the lower Rio Loco valley lie between the extensive agricultural development in Lajas Valley to the west and the industrial development at Guayanilla to the east. Having a protected deep-water port, the Guánica area is particularly well suited to further development. The economic growth of the area depends,...

Devonian of the Southwestern United States
F. G. Poole, D.L. Baars, H. Drewes, P. T. Hayes, K. B. Ketner, E. D. McKee, C. Teichert, J. S. Williams
1967, Conference Paper, International symposium on the Devonian system
The structural framework that controlled Devonian deposition consisted of, from west to east: (1) a eugeosynclinal area in northern California and western Nevada; (2) a miogeosynclinal area in southeastern California, eastern Nevada, and western Utah; and (3) a cratonic area in Arizona, eastern Utah, Colorado, New Mexico, and western...
Devonian of the Northern Rocky Mountains and plains
Charles A. Sandberg, William J. Mapel
1967, Conference Paper, International symposium on the Devonian system
The Devonian System, represented predominantly by shallow-water marine carbonate, is widespread in Montana, Wyoming, eastern Idaho, North Dakota, South Dakota, and northwestern Nebraska. It comprises cratonic rocks in the east and miogeosynclinal rocks in the west. The cratonic rocks thicken generally northward from their southern limit in Wyoming across...
Devonian of the Appalachian Basin, United States
William A. Oliver, Wallace De Witt, John M. Dennison, D.M. Hoskins, John W. Huddle
1967, Conference Paper, International symposium on the Devonian system
Although Devonian rocks in the Appalachians have been studied for more than 150 years, they are poorly known in most of the area. The nearly complete Devonian sequence in New York has been established as the North American standard of reference. The structural belt that includes unmetamorphosed Devonian geosynclinal...

Observations on unmeasured rivers
Luna Bergere Leopold, Herbert E. Skibitzke
1967, Geografiska Annaler, Series A: Physical Geography (49) 247-255
An analysis of data on hydraulic parameters collected during a single boat trip down a river system is presented, plotted in form of the hydraulic geometry. A dimensionless rating curve is used to estimate bankfull and average discharge for basins of various sizes. When compared with gaging station data, estimates...
Returns of hatchery-reared lake trout in southern Lake Superior, 1955-62
Richard L. Pycha, George R. King
1967, Journal of the Fisheries Research Board of Canada (24) 281-298
Experimental plantings of fin-clipped lake trout (Salvelinus namaycush) of various ages have been made in southern Lake Superior since 1952. The catch of planted lake trout by the commercial fishery was used to measure the success of stocking. Estimates of total returns were based on samples of 8.2 to 21.2%...
A seventeenth century mandibular tumor in a North American Indian
E.E. Kelln, E.V. McMichael, B. Zimmermann
1967, Oral Surgery, Oral Medicine, Oral Pathology (23) 78-81
The oldest tumor so far recorded is believed to have been a hemangioma. It occurred in a bone of a dinosaur’s tail1 and thus considerably antedates the historical period. The oldest known human tumor is much younger, dating back only to the middle of the third century after Christ.1 It...
Ground-water research in the U.S.A.
C. L. McGuinness
1967, Earth-Science Reviews (3) 181-202
Ground-water reservoirs and the overlying unsaturated zone-collectively, the "subsurface"-have an enormous capacity to supply water to wells and useful plants, to store water to meet future needs for the same purposes, and, under suitable precautions, to accept wastes. This capacity can be exploited on a maximum scale, however, only on...
An operational theory of laser-radar selenodesy
R.L. Wildey, R.E. Schlier, J. A. Hull, G. Larson
1967, Icarus (6) 315-347
A theory of the utilization of laser techniques for ranging from the Earth to the Moon for the purpose of providing control points on the lunar surface at which the figure of the Moon is measured to an accuracy at least an order of magnitude better than that of...

On the chemistry of Jupiter's upper atmosphere
W.C. Saslaw, R.L. Wildey
1967, Icarus (7) 85-93
We conduct a first investigation into the ion-molecule chemistry of the upper Jovian atmosphere. Experimental results show that intense ultraviolet radiation reacts with the constituents of the Jovian atmosphere to produce C2H4, C2H6, C3H8, and higher polymers. The general procedure for calculating both equilibrium and nonequilibrium abundances of these products...
Major land uses in the United States
Francis J. Marschner, James R. Anderson
1967, Report, The national atlas of the United States of America
This is a polygon coverage of major land uses in the United States. The source of the coverage is the map of major land uses in the National Atlas, pages 158-159, which was adapted from U.S. Department of Agriculture, "Major Land Uses in the United States," by Francis...

The Amazon, measuring a mighty river
Water Resources Division, U.S. Geological Survey
1967, Report
The Amazon, the world's largest river, discharges enough water into the sea each day to provide fresh water to the City of New York for over 9 years. Its flow accounts for about 15 percent of all the fresh water discharged into the oceans by all the rivers of the...
Geomagnetic polarity epochs: new data from Olduvai Gorge, Tanganyika
C. S. Grommé, R. L. Hay
1967, Earth and Planetary Science Letters (2) 111-115
The lower lava flow of Bed I in Olduvai Gorge, Tanganyika, carries natural remanent magnetization (NRM) having normal polarity. Thermal demagnetization experiments demonstrate the stability of this NRM. Thus the Olduvai geomagnetic polarity event, which was originally named from the upper lava...
Geomagnetic polarity epochs: Nunivak Island, Alaska

1967, Earth and Planetary Science Letters (3) 173-177
New paleomagnetic and potassium-argon dating measurements have been made of basalt flows from Nunivak Island, Alaska, with the following results. (1) The best estimate of the age of the Brunhes/Matuyama polarity epoch boundary is found to be 0.694 m.y. (2) The best...
The fractionation of nickel between olivine and augite as a geothermometer
T.A. Hakli, T. L. Wright
1967, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (31) 877-884
The coexisting olivine, clinopyroxene and glass of five samples collected from the Makaopuhi lava lake in Hawaii, at temperatures ranging from 1050 to 1160°C were analysed for nickel with an electron probe microanalyser. The results strongly suggest that the distribution of nickel between these three phase pairs well obeys the...
Loss of halogens from crystallized and glassy silicic volcanic rocks
D. C. Noble, V. C. Smith, L. C. Peck
1967, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (31) 215-223
One hundred and sixty-four F and Cl analyses of silicic welded tuffs and lavas and glass separates are presented. Comparison of the F and Cl contents of crystallized rocks with those of nonhydrated glass and hydrated glassy rocks from the same rock units shows that most of the halogens originally...
Complexometric determination of gallium with calcein blue as indicator
H.N. Elsheimer
1967, Talanta (14) 97-102
A metalfluorechromic indicator, Calcein Blue, has been used for the back-titration of milligram amounts of EDTA in presence of gallium complexes. The indicator was used in conjunction with an ultraviolet titration assembly equipped with a cadmium sulphide detector cell and a microammeter for enhanced end-point detection....
