Histopathology of kidney disease in fish
E. M. Wood, W. T. Yasutake
1956, American Journal of Pathology (32) 591-603
Kidney disease is one of the most puzzling fish diseases known to exist in the United States. In less than Io years it has invaded the Pacific Northwest, exacting a heavy toll of hatchery salmon. Its first appearance apparently was in Massachusetts where Belding and Merrill' described a disease similar...
Aromatic fluorine compounds. VII. Replacement of aromatic -Cl and -NO2 groups by -F
G. C. Finger, C.W. Kruse
1956, Journal of the American Chemical Society (78) 6034-6037
Replacement of -Cl by -F in aryl chlorides with potassium fluoride has been extended from 2,4-dinitrochlorobenzene to less activated halides by the use of non-aqueous solvents, especially dimethylformamide (DMF) and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). Also replacement of -NO2 by -F in substituted nitrobenzenes was studied in DMF. As a direct result...
Preliminary report on the geology and deposits of monazite, thorite, and niobium-bearing rutile of the Mineral Hill district, Lemhi County, Idaho
Edward Peck Kaiser
1956, Open-File Report 56-69
Deposits of minerals containing niobium (columbium), thorium, and rare earths occur in the Mineral Hill district, 30 miles northwest of Salmon, Lemhi County, Idaho. Monazite, thorite, allanite, and niobium-bearing rutile form deposits in metamorphic limestone layers less than 8 feet thick. The known deposits are small, irregular, and typically located...

Aromatic fluorine compounds. VI. Displacement of aryl fluorine in diazonium salts
G. C. Finger, R.E. Oesterling
1956, Journal of the American Chemical Society (78) 2593-2596
Several chlorofluorobenzenes have been isolated from the Schiemann synthesis of fluorobenzenes. These have been shown to be the products of two side reactions occurring during thermal decomposition of the dry benzenediazonium fluoborate salt containing coprecipitated sodium chloride, an unavoidable contaminant in large preparations involving the use of hydrochloric acid and...

Biology of the sea lamprey in its parasitic phase
Phillip S. Parker, Robert E. Lennon
1956, Research Report 44
The investigations conducted on sea lampreys in aquariums were concerned with the duration of the parasitic phase of life, feeding, growth, and the interrelations between predator and host fish. Observations on lampreys reared from metamorphosis to maturity were made at the Fish and Wildlife Service Laboratory at Hammond Bay,...

Floods in relation to the river channel
Luna Bergere Leopold, M. Gordon Wolman
1956, Proceedings of the International Association of Hydrological Sciences 85-98
Among the rivers studied by us two broad types may be distinguished. Channels in the semi-arid areas scour at high discharges so that the bed lowers nearly as much as the water surface rises. Detailed data on the middle reaches of the Rio Grande in New Mexico during the spring...

In the year 1534 when Cabeza de Vaca escaped from the aborigines of southern Texas by whom he had been enslaved for six years, he made his way on foot from the vicinity of Galveston to the west coast of Mexico. Although his Relación was not printed until 1542, the...
Status of sea lamprey control
James W. Moffett
1956, Wisconsin Conservation Bulletin (21) 14-17
Four experiments involving 873 bob-white quail (Colinus virginianus) chicks were conducted at the Patuxent Research Refuge, Laurel, Maryland. A comparison was made of calcium: phosphorus ratios of 1:1, 15:1, 1%: 1, 2:1, 2+:1,and 2%: 1in diets with phosphorus levels of 0.52, 0.75, 1.00, and 1.25 percent. The results indicate that...

When the vegetal cover is removed from a land surface, the rate of removal of the soil material, at least initially, increases rapidly. So well known is this principle that it hardly needs restatement.If attention is focused on any individual drainage basin in its natural state, large or small, and...

A mycosis-like granuloma of fish
E. M. Wood, W. T. Yasutake, W. L. Lehman
1955, Journal of Infectious Diseases (97) 262-267
Mycoses of systemic distribution are rarely observed in fresh-water fish in this country. In a recent review of atypical cell growths in fishes, Nigrelli cited the only known instance of a mycetoma in a North American fresh-water fish which occurred in the head of fingerling landlocked salmon from an Idaho...
Histopathology of fish: I. Techniques and principles
E. M. Wood, W. T. Yasutake
1955, Progressive Fish-Culturist (17) 166-171
The techniques of histopathology have been used for many years in the study of human and animal diseases. Until very recent times, however, histology has been applied to fish studies only very infrequently. This brief discussion is intended to acquaint the reader with the techniques and principles involved and to...

1955, Trace Elements Investigations 570
Since 1947, the U.S. Geological Survey has measured and sampled phosphatic parts of the Permian Phosphoria formation and its partial stratigraphic correlatives at many localities in Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, and Utah. Preliminary data on the thickness of the beds and their composition at localities sampled prior to 1952 have been...
Geology and beryl deposits of the Peerless pegmatite, Pennington County, South Dakota

1955, Trace Elements Investigations 226
The Peerless pegmatite, half a mile south of Keystone, Pennington County, S. Dak., has been a large source of scrap mica and beryl. Feldspar, amblygonite, tantalite-columbite, and cassiterite also have been recovered. The pegmatite is intrusive into Precambrian quartz-mica schist. Much of the schist contains staurolite and chlorite. Staurolite has been...
