Uptake of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid by Pseudomonas fluorescens
Gary Wedemeyer
1966, Applied Microbiology (14) 486-491
Factors influencing the uptake of the sodium salt of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D), under conditions in which no net metabolism occurred, were investigated in an effort to determine both the significance of “non-metabolic” uptake as a potential agent in reducing pesticide levels and the mechanisms involved. Uptake of 2,4-D was affected...
Clinostomum marginatum in steelhead trout (Salmo gairdneri) and cutthroat trout (Salmo clarki) in a western Washington lake
J. R. Uzmann, J. Douglas
1966, Transactions of the American Fisheries Society (95) 35-38
Clinostomum marginatum (Trematoda: Clinostomatidae), the yellow grub parasite, was recorded in epizootic proportions from Lynch Lake, King County, Washington, in 1961 and 1962. The parasite larvae occurred principally in steelhead trout (Salmo gairdneri); cutthroat trout (S. clarki) were infected to a relatively minor degree. Fish and snail host populations were...

A study of some effects of urbanization on storm runoff from a small watershed
William Howard Espey Jr., Carl W. Morgan, Frank D. Masch
1966, Report 23
The evaluation of the effects of urbanization on the runoff characteristics of a small watershed is a problem that can be studied by either a short-range or a long-range investigation. Because the long-range type of investigation would require several years for hydrologic data accumulation, it cannot provide any immediate information...

1966, Connecticut Water Resources Bulletin 9
This report presents hydrologic and geologic data collected by the U.S. Geological Survey during an investigation of water resources in the Quinebaug River basin of Connecticut in cooperation with the Connecticut Water Resources Commission. The Quinebaug River basin occupies about 425 square miles in the northeastern part of the State,...
Water resources inventory of Connecticut Part 1: Quinebaug River basin
Allan D. Randall, Mendall P. Thomas, Chester E. Thomas Jr., John A. Baker
1966, Connecticut Water Resources Bulletin 8
The Quinebaug River basin is blessed with a relatively abundant supply of water of generally good quality which is derived from precipitation that has fallen on the basin. Annual precipitation has ranged from about 30 to 67 inches and has averaged about 45 inches over a 44-year period. Approximately 21...
Systems for monitoring and digitally recording water-quality parameters
George F. Smoot, James F. Blakey
1966, Report
Digital recording of water-quality parameters is a link in the automated data collection and processing system of the U.S. Geological Survey. The monitoring and digital recording systems adopted by the Geological Survey, while punching all measurements on a standard paper tape, provide a choice of compatible components to construct a...
Water resources data for New Mexico, water year 1965; Part 1. Surface water records

1966, Water Data Report NM-65-1
The surface-water records for the 1965 water year for gaging stations, partial-record 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...
Deformation measurements on Kilauea volcano, Hawaii
R.W. Decker, D.P. Hill, T. L. Wright
1966, Bulletin Volcanologique (29) 721-731
Repeated electronic distance measurements across Kilauea Caldera with Tellurometers and Geodimeter show definite horizontal expansion related to the vertical uplift and outward tilting of the summit prior to an eruption, and contraction during and after a flank eruption. Measurements started in October 1964, along a 3098 meter line between Uwekahuna...
Acid-fast intranuclear inclusion bodies in the kidneys of mallards fed lead shot
L. N. Locke, George E. Bagley, H.D. Irby
1966, Bulletin of the Wildlife Disease Association (2) 127-131
Acid-fast intranuclear inclusion bodies were found in the cells of the proximal convoluted tubules of the kidneys of mallards fed one, two, three or eight number 6 lead shot and maintained on cracked or whole corn and on grain-duck pellet diets. No acid-fast inclusion bodies were found in mallards fed...

1966, Annals of the Entomological Society of America (59) 866-867
During studies on the biology and ecology of black flies (Simuliidae) at the Seney National Wildlife Refuge, Seney, Michigan, and at the Patuxent Wildlife Research Center, Laurel, Maryland, larvae of 3 species of black fly (Simulium vittatum Zetterstedt, S. aureum Fries, and S. decorum Walker) were collected and transported for distances of up to 50...
Electron microscope study of Sarcocystis sp
V.H. Zeve, D.L. Price, C. M. Herman
1966, Experimental Parasitology (18) 338-346
Sarcocystis sp. obtained from wild populations of grackles, Quiscalus quiscula (Linn.), were examined to clarify the effect of the parasite on the host. Electron micrographs are presented to show areas of muscle destruction adjacent to the parasite which appear to be mechanically produced by the parasite. The microtubules within the...
Trichinosis in Maryland raccoons
D.J. Winslow, D.L. Price, R.C. Neafie, C. M. Herman

During recent studies of experimental Chagas’ disease, trichinosis was found in 2 out of a total of 44 Maryland raccoons (Procyon lotor) examined histologically following necropsy. All raccoons were trapped near the towns of Beltsville or Laurel. The raccoons found to have trichinosis were trapped in the area of the...

1966, Science (151) 1549-1551
Residues of 1,1,1-trichloro-2,2-bis(p-chlorophenyl)-ethane (DDT) and 1,1-dichloro-2,2-bis(p-chlorophenyl)-ethane (DDD) in brains of cowbirds (Molothrus ater) killed by dietary dosage of DDT were similar in birds that died after various lengths of time on dosage and in birds that died of delayed effects after as much as 40 days on clean food. Residues...

1966, The Auk (83) 477-479
The first known record of Hooded Mergansers (Lophodytes cucullatus) nesting on the coastal plain of Maryland was in 1961, when Mr. Francis Uhler (pers. comm) found two clutches in Wood Duck nest boxes in impoundments at the Patuxent Wildlife Research Center, about five miles southeast of Laurel, Maryland. R.E. Stewart...

This is a description of the renesting of two Wood Ducks (Aix sponsa) after hatching broods. I can find but two previous records of such behavior. Barnes (Auk, 65: 449, 1948) reported an incident of a hand-reared bird nesting in the wild in Indiana. This female was unable to get...
Spermatogenesis in bald eagles experimentally fed a diet containing DDT
L. N. Locke, N.J. Chura, P.A. Stewart
1966, Condor (68) 497-502
When Bald Eagles were fed DDT in the diet at the level of 10 ppm (dry weight basis) for periods of 60 and 120 days, there was no interference with spermatogenic activity. Degenerative testicular changes were produced only by levels of DDT that produced abnormal neurological signs and usually resulted...
