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...

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...

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...

Life history of lake herring of Green Bay, Lake Michigan
Stanford H. Smith
1956, Fishery Bulletin (109) 87-138
Although the lake herring has been an important contributor to the commercial fish production of Green Bay, little has been known about it. This study is based on field observations and data from about 6,500 lake herring collected over the period 1948 to 1952. Relatively nonselective commercial pound nets...
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...
Ground-water geology of the coastal zone, Long Beach-Santa Ana area, California

This paper is the first chapter of a comprehensive report on the ground-water features in the southern part of the coastal plain in Los Angeles and Orange Counties, Calif., with special reference to the effectiveness of the so-called coastal barrier--the Newport-Inglewood structural zone--in restraining landwar,-1 movement of saline water. The...
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...

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...
Stratigraphic sections of the Phosphoria formation 1953 and 1954
R. W. Swanson, L.D. Carswell, R.P. Sheldon, T. M. Cheney
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
Douglas M. Sheridan, Hal G. Stephens, Mortimer H. Staatz, James J. Norton
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...
Some effects of preciptiation on ground water in Wisconsin

1955, Wisconsin Geological & Natural History Survey Information Circular 1
The importance of our water supplies has become increasingly apparent to most of us in recent years. The importance of water was forcefully dramatized by the water shortage in New York City in 1950. In nearly every State in the Union, one or more communities now has or has had...
