The Terlingua quicksilver district, which has produced more than 150,000 flasks of quicksilver, is in the southern part of the Big Bend region of southwestern Texas. It is a narrow, eastwest area about 20 miles long and lies mainly in southwestern Brewster County. The district is connected by graded road...
Ground-water resources of Riverton irrigation project area, Wyoming, with a section on chemical quality of ground water
Donald Arthur Morris, O. M. Hackett, K.E. Vanlier, E. A. Moulder, W. H. Durum
1959, Water Supply Paper 1375
The Riverton irrigation project area is in the northwestern part of the Wind River basin in west-central Wyoming. Because the annual precipitation is only about 9 inches, agriculture, which is the principal occupation in the area, is dependent upon irrigation. Irrigation by surface-water diversion was begum is 1906; water is...
Plasmoptysis and gelatin of erythrocytes in coagulation of blood of freshwater bony fishes
Ken Wolf
1959, Blood (14) 1339-1344
1. A clot-like material which results from very rapid plasmoptysis and hydrophyllic swelling of karyoplasm of erythrocytes from freshwater fish was reported. This attribute was found to a lesser degree in erythrocytes from an amphibian, but it was almost lacking in those of an aquatic reptile.2. Rapid clotting of fish...

Fish mycobacteriosis (Tuberculosis)
T. J. Parisot, J.W. Wood
1959, Fishery Leaflet 494
The etiologic agent for the bacterial disease, "fish tuberculosis" (more correctly "mycobacteriosis"), was first observed in carp in 189& from a pond in France. Subsequently similar agents have been isolated from or observed in fish in fresh water, salt water, and brackish water, in fish in aquaria, hatcheries, and natural...
Life history of the sea lamprey of Cayugaf Lake, New York
Roland L. Wigley
1959, Fishery Bulletin of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service 561-617
A life history study of the sea lamprey, Petromyson marinus Linnaeus, in Cayuga Lake, N.Y., was conducted during 1950, 1951, and 1952. One of the major objectives was to obtain biological data concerning this endemic stock of sea lampreys for comparison with the newly established stocks in the Great Lakes....
Some preliminary notes on the ground water in the Columbia River basalt
R. C. Newcomb
1959, Northwest Science (33) 1-18
The Columbia River basalt carries groundwater by percolation, largely along tabular interflow zones of variable permeability and continuity. At various places the water occurs under perched, unconfined, and confined conditions; at some places it occurs under all three conditions at different depths. Both initial and tectonic structural features, such as...

Sixty years after Coronado, Don Juan de Onate wrote the first reasonably good description of the High Plains. He was near the present site of Wichita, Kansas, in 1601, when he arrived a t a large rancheria, or temporary Indian camp, containing more than 5000 souls. Onate's account expressed wonderment...

Detailed core logs of four holes drilled in Bristol, Cadiz, and Danby Dry Lakes in southeastern San Bernardirio County, Calif., are given in the present report. These 3 dry lakes lie in a chain of basins having a drainage area of 4,000 square miles which is made up of alluvial...
A compilation of chemical quality data for ground and surface waters in Utah
John G. Connor, C.G. Mitchell
1958, Technical Publication 10
An accelerated use of water resulting from a growing population, industrial expansion, and irrigation has brought into focus the importance of the quality as well as the quantity of this natural resource in Utah. As new demands are made on the existing supply, a search goes on for new sources...

A LESION DESCRIBED AS A GRAY ΡATCH GENERALLY LOCATED ΑΝΤΕRIOR TO THE DORSAL FIN has been associated with high mortality of fish on numerous occasions in production hatcheries throughout the United States. This lesion has been called "sunburn" or "backpeel." No bacteria or other pathogens have been found in fish...

Rapid counting of nematoda in salmon by peptic digestion
Joseph A. Stern, Diptiman Chakravarti, Joseph R. Uzmann, M. N. Hesselholt
1958, Special Scientific Report - Fisheries 255
The nematode parasite Anisakis sp. can be recovered, relatively unaltered, from chum salmon musculature by high temperature (52°+2°C.) peptic digestion of the flesh. The procedure, which is presented in detail, appears to be more thorough in isolating the parasite than dissection of the flesh and manual isolation of the worms. In...
