Band loss by nestling mourning doves
C.F. Kaczynski, W.H. Kiel
1963, Journal of Wildlife Management (27) 271-279
Nestling mourning doves (Zenaidura macroura) were banded and checked for band loss prior to fledging at Parchman, Mississippi, during the months of June-August, 1960. Three hundred seventy-seven nestlings 4-6 days of age were banded, 117 with size 3 bands, 120 with size 3A bands, and 140 with size 3A bands...
Annual production by a cottontail population
C.N. Conaway, H. M. Wight, K.C. Sadler
1963, Journal of Wildlife Management (27) 171-175
Adult females in a cottontail (Sylvilagus floridanus) population produced seven or eight litters during the 1961 breeding season. A synchrony of the conception dates was maintained throughout the breeding season. Data about ovulation rate, prenatal mortality, and litter size for each litter are presented. The first litter was smallest, averaging...
Overlapping of late mesozoic orogens in western Idaho
Warren Hamilton
1963, Geological Society of America Bulletin (74) 779-787
Early formed rocks of the border zone of the Idaho batholith are thrust westward over the low-grade metavolcanic rocks of the Seven Devils Mountains. Late intrusions of the border zone cut out upper plate rocks and contact-metamorphose lower plate rocks. Granitic intrusions in the Seven Devils complex are metamorphosed near the border zone...
Studies of fluid inclusions; [Part] 2, Freezing data and their interpretation
E. Roedder
1963, Economic Geology (58) 167-211
Aqueous and non-aqueous inclusions in 84 samples of various minerals from a wide range of geologic environments were studied with the freezing stage in order to gain an insight into the range of concentrations and compositions of fluid inclusions. Inclusions in most Mississippi Valley-type ore minerals contain highly concentrated saline solutions, showing freezing temperatures...
Recent advances in space science
E.H. Vestine, S.-I. Akasofu, S. I. Rasool, J.R. Spreiter, E.M. Shoemaker, C.W. Snyder, D. Tilles
1963, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (44) 137-143
The present rapid advance in space sciences, clearly apparent at previous semiyearly national meetings of the American Geophysical Union, was again in evidence at the Stanford meeting, December 27–29, 1962. A total of over 60 papers was presented by the Planetary Sciences Section, usually in sessions held jointly with other Sections, including Geomagnetism...

Public water supplies in Gloucester County, New Jersey
William F. Hardt
1963, New Jersey Division of Water Policy and Supply Water Resources Circular 9
Gloucester County is in the southwestern part of New Jersey, below Camden, and is a part of the Lower Delaware River Valley. This area is attracting new industry and has shown a population increase of about 47 percent from 1950 to 1960, mostly urban. With the economic growth of the...
Some aspects of sampling salty ground water in coastal aquifers
F. A. Kohout, N.D. Hoy
1963, Groundwater (1) 28-43
Investigations of the fluctuations of chloride content in wells that tap the zone of diffusion between fresh and salt water show that the salty well water behaves erratically when the well is pumped. Frequently, a static distribution of chloride content that ranges from less than 1,000 ppm at the top to more than 10,000...

Glaucophane-bearing metamorphic rock types of the Cazadero area, California
R. G. Coleman, D. E. Lee
1963, Journal of Petrology (4) 260-301
A detailed field and laboratory study has been made of a well-exposed glaucophane schist sequence within the Jurassic and Cretaceous Franciscan Formation of northern California. Three types of glaucophane-bearing metamorphic rocks have been distinguished in and around the area of the detailed study. Each is characterized by distinctive textures...
Surface water records of California, 1963; Volume 2: Northern Great Basin and Central Valley
Water Resources Division, U.S. Geological Survey
1963, Water Data Report CA-63-2
The surface-water records for the 1963 water year for gaging stations, partial-record stations, and miscellaneous sites within the State of California 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 the...
Dispersion in natural streams
Richard G. Godfrey, Bernard J. Frederick
1963, Report
Eleven tests were conducted to study the dispersion patterns of a radiotracer in five natural stream channels and in one canal. The radiotracer was injected as a line source. The patterns of dispersion that were observed in these channels were compared with patterns predicted by the theoretical models for one-dimensional...

The peg claims spodumene pegmatites, Maine
H. W. Sundelius
1963, Economic Geology (58) 84-106
The Peg Claims pegmatites are located southwest of Rockland in the towns of Warren and Cushing, Knox County, Maine. These pegmatites are representative of a group of zoned, granitic, lithium-bearing pegmatites in which spodumene is present nearly from wall to wall. The pegmatites are discordant, steeply dipping, tabular bodies in the Penobscot quartz-mica schist near...
Late Pleistocene glacial drainage in the Devils Lake Region, North Dakota
Saul Aronow
1963, GSA Bulletin (74) 859-874
The Devils Lake region of northeastern North Dakota is covered with glacial drift deposited by the Leeds lobe of the Mankato Substage of the Wisconsin Stage of the Pleistocene and is underlain by Pierre Shale of Cretaceous age. Associated with the Sheyenne River, which flows through the southern part of...

Geothermal brine well: Mile-deep drill hole may tap ore-bearing magmatic water and rocks Undergoing Metamorphism
D. E. White, E.T. Anderson, D.K. Grubbs
1963, Science (139) 919-922
A deep geothermal well in California has tapped a very saline brine extraordinarily high in heavy metals and other rare elements; copper and silver are precipitated during brine production. Preliminary evidence suggests that the brine may be pure magmatic water and an active ore-forming solution. Metamorphism of relatively young rocks...
Isotopic fractionation of uranium in sandstone
J.N. Rosholt, W. R. Shields, E. L. Garner
1963, Science (139) 224-226
Relatively unoxidized black uranium ores from sandstone deposits in the western United States show deviations in the uranium-235 to uranium-234 ratio throughout a range from 40 percent excess uranium-234 to 40 percent deficient uranium-234 with respect to a reference uranium-235 to uranium-234 ratio. The deficient uranium-234 is leached preferentially to...

W. H. Bradley
1963, Science (141) 919-921
Unmineralized bacterial cells, mostly Micrococcus sp., but including also Streptococcus sp. and Actinomyces sp., were found in enormous numbers in lake beds of the Newark Canyon Formation of Early Cretaceous age, Eureka County, Nevada. The micrococci are black, and have an average diameter about 0.5 µ. Similar black micrococci (0.4...
