Estimation of the brook and sea lamprey ammocoete populations of three streams
Bernard R. Smith, Alberton L. McLain
1962, Technical Report 4
Marking experiments on three streams in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan yielded quantitative estimates of populations of larval and transforming lampreys. The estimates not only gave an idea as to the numbers of ammocetes in the streams, but also confirmed the judgments of abundance based on earlier surveys with electric-shocking...

Water
Luna Bergere Leopold, Helene L. Baldwin
1962, Book
What do you use water for?If someone asked you this question you would probably think right away of water for drinking. Then you would think of water for bathing, brushing teeth, flushing the toilet. Your list would get longer as you thought of water for cooking, washing the dishes, running...

Bedrock geology of the Thiel Mountains, Antarctica
A. B. Ford, J.M. Aaron
1962, Science (137) 751-752
Cordierite-bearing, hyper-sthene-quartz monzonite porphyry, the most widespread rock unit, is intruded by biotite granite and porphyritic biotite granite. Sedimentary and metasedimentary rocks, mainly quartzites and argillites, have been metamorphosed locally to hornfels and have been involved in high-angle faulting. Shear zones are common in the plutonic rocks....

Oxygen adsorption and the magnetic susceptibility of ice at low temperatures
F. E. Senftle, A. Thorpe
1962, Nature (194) 673-674
WHEN dealing with the magnetic susceptibility of tumour tissue1, we reported the magnetic susceptibility of ice at various temperatures from 273° K. down to 77° K. Since this publication, the authors have made many susceptibility measurements of ice, using the same equipment, and have obtained similar results, that is, a...
Concentration method for the spectrochemical determination of seventeen minor elements in natural water
W. D. Silvey, R. Brennan
1962, Analytical Chemistry (34) 784-786
A method for the quantitative spectrochemical determination of microgram amounts of 17 minor elements in water is given. The chelating reagents 8-quinolinol, tannic acid, and thionalide are utilized to concentrate traces (1 to 500 μg.) of aluminum, cobalt, chromium, copper, iron, gallium, germanium, manganese, nickel, titanium, vanadium, bismuth, lead, molybdenum,...
Problem of the thermodynamic status of the mixed-layer minerals
E-An Zen
1962, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (26) 1055-1067
Minerals that show mixed layering, particularly with the component layers in random sequence, pose problems because they may behave thermodynamically as single phases or as polyphase aggregates. Two operational criteria are proposed for their distinction. The first scheme requires two samples of mixed-layer material which differ only in the proportions...
Behaviour of calcium carbonate in sea water
P. E. Cloud Jr.
1962, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (26) 867-884
Anomalies in the behaviour of calcium carbonate in natural solutions diminish when considered in context. Best values found by traditional oceanographie methods for the apparent solubility product constant K'CaCO3 in sea water at atmospheric pressure are consistent mineralogically—at 36 parts per thousand salinity and T-25°C, K'aragonlte is...
Geology and ore deposits of the Globe-Miami district, Arizona
N. P. Peterson
1962, Professional Paper 342
The rocks of the Globe-Miami district range from lower Precambrian to Recent. The oldest formation, the Pinal schist, comprises several varieties of schist formed by dynamic and thermal metamorphism of shale and feldspathic sandstone during the early Precambrian Mazatzal revolution. During the later stages of this revolution, the schist was...

Those of us who seek to explain the variations in hydrologic phenomena such as may be observed in the occurrence of floods or in changes in the shape of river channels are painfully aware of the lack of adequate data. Our existing data, collected mainly to serve immediate practical needs...

Distribution and detoxication of toxaphene in Clayton Lake, New Mexico
Burton J. Kallman, Oliver B. Cope, Richard J. Navarre
1962, Transactions of the American Fisheries Society (91) 14-22
The fate of toxaphene, applied in three treatments at a total calculated concentration of 0.05 p.p.m. to Clayton Lake, New Mexico, was followed over a 1.5-year period. A detailed description of the chromatographic method of analysis is given. Water concentrations of toxaphene were higher in leeshore samples than in windward...

The accompanying map shows the location of the principal deposits of thorium and rare-earth minerals in the United States (excluding Alaska and Hawaii). Symbols of different shapes are used to depict deposits of different geologic types, and sizes of symbols denote the relative importance of the deposits. Because of scale...

K/Na ratio of Cenozoic igneous rocks of the western United States
J.G. Moore
1962, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (26) 101-130
The potassium and sodium content of chemically analysed Cenozoic igneous rocks from about 150 areas of the western United States has been examined. For each area a plot of the molecular proportion K2O(K2O + Na2O)">K2O(K2O + Na2O) [Niggli's k-value] is shown, and the projected k-value determined at 50...
Nordstrandite from Guam
J.C. Hathaway, S.O. Schlanger
1962, Nature (196) 265-266
NORDSTRANDITE (Al2O3·3H2O), previously reported only as a synthetic product1,2, occurs in Miocene limestone on Guam. In south Guam this limestone forms a cap several hundred feet thick, on the Mount Alifan–Mount Lamlan ridge, and overlies late Eocene and early Miocene basalt flows and volcanic conglomerates. The volcanic rocks below the...

The relative efficiency of nylon and cotton gill nets for taking lake trout in Lake Superior
Richard L. Pycha
1962, Journal of the Fisheries Research Board of Canada (19) 1085-1094
The change from cotton to nylon twine for gill nets in 1949–52 resulted in a sharp increase in the efficiency of the most important gear used for taking lake trout in Lake Superior, and, consequently, biased estimates of fishing intensity and abundance severely.From early May to the end of September...
Rivers
Luna Bergere Leopold
1962, American Scientist (50) 511-537
Rivers are both the means and the routes by which the products of continental weathering are carried to the oceans of the world. Except in the most arid areas more water falls as precipitation than is lost by evaporation and transpiration from the land surface to the atmosphere. Thus there...
