Use of flumes in measuring discharge at gaging stations
F. A. Kilpatrick
1965, Report, Surface Water Techniques: Book 1: Hydraulic measurement and computation
This report discusses the general principles underlying the design of various types of flumes for measuring open-channel flow. Four flumes are described in detail, and the recommended discharge ratings for each are presented....
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,...

1965, Water Data Report NM-64-1
The surface-water records for the 1964 water year for gaging stations, partialrecord stations, and miscellaneous sites within the State of New Mexico are given in this report. For convenience there are also included records for a few pertinent gaging stations in bordering States. The records were collected and computed by...
Bird mortality following DDT spray for Dutch elm disease
D.H. Wurster, C.F. Wurster, W.N. Strickland
1965, Ecology (46) 488-499
Avian populations in Hanover, N. H., a town that has sprayed its elms with DDT for many years in an attempt to control Dutch elm disease, were compared with those in Norwich, Vt., a town 1 mile (1.6 km) west of Hanover that has never sprayed. Hanover applied 109 lb...
Effects of heptachlor-contaminated earthworms on woodcocks
W. H. Stickel, D. W. Hayne, L.F. Stickel
1965, Journal of Wildlife Management (29) 132-146
The effects on woodcocks (Philohela minor) of eating heptachlor-contaminated earthworms were studied experimentally in a series of feeding trials in Louisiana in the winter of 1960-61. Six of 12 woodcocks fed worms which had been contaminated at an average of 2.86 ppm of heptachlor epoxide died within 35 days; 4...
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...
The roosting behavior of the red-winged blackbird in the southern United States
B. Meanley
1965, The Wilson Bulletin (77) 217-228
This report concerns the roosting behavior of the Red-winged blackbird and associated species ; and is based on observations made over a 14-year period mainly in the Southern United States....Th e greatest concentrations of Red-winged Blackbirds in the southern states occur in the Coastal Plain Province in or near major...
Care of captive woodcocks
William H. Stickel, William G. Sheldon, Lucille F. Stickel
1965, Journal of Wildlife Management (29) 161-172
Numbers of American woodcocks (Philohela minor) were held in cages for experimental work lasting several months. Injuries caused by birds attempting to flush were greatly reduced by clipping feathers from one wing, by making cage walls opaque, and by using high cages or false ceilings of fabric. Size of cage...
Natal plumage characters in rails
D.K. Wetherbee, B. Meanley
1965, The Auk (82) 500-501
The downy young of the Clapper Rail (Rallus longirostris), King Rail (Rallus elegans), and Virginia Rail (Rallus limicola) are described as totally black in all literature examined by us. Wetherbee (Bird-Banding, 32: 141-159, 1961) noted that some neonates of Virginia Rail from Storrs, Connecticut, had patches...
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...
Bird mortality after spraying for Dutch elm disease with DDT
C.F. Wurster, D.H. Wurster, W.N. Strickland
1965, Science (148) 90-91
In Hanover, New Hampshire, where elms were sprayed with DDT, 151 dead birds were found; 10 dead birds were found in Norwich, Vermont, where no DDT was used. Chemical analyses of dead birds, observation of symptoms of DDT poisoning, and a population decline after spraying all indicate severe mortality among...
Additional records of aspergillosis among passerine birds in Maryland and the Washington, DC metropolitan area
L. N. Locke
1965, Chesapeake Science (6) 120-121
Two cases of aspergillosis involving four adult cowbirds (Molothrus ater) collected during the nesting season are reported. Aspergillosis was found in house sparrows (Passer domesticus) on two occasions....

A final report on computed magneto-telluric curves for hypothetical models of crustal structure
J.I. Pritchard
1965, Crustal Studies Technical Letters 32
Several mathematical models were investigated to determine the capa-bilities of the magneto-telluric method for determining the resistivity structure of the earth's crust. The model parameters were based on the crust model proposed by Keller (1963). The mathematical technique used was developed by Cagniard (1953). The investigations indicate that a three-layer...

Effects of the earthquake of March 27, 1964, at Anchorage, Alaska
Wallace R. Hansen
1965, Professional Paper 542-A
Anchorage, Alaska’s largest city, is about 80 miles west-northwest of the epicenter of the March 27 earthquake. Because of its size, Anchorage bore the brunt of property damage from the quake; it sustained greater losses than all the rest of Alaska combined. Damage was caused by direct seismic vibration, by...
