Uranium minerals in Oligocene gypsum near Chadron, Dawes County, Nebraska
R.J. Dunham
1955, Trace Elements Investigations 525
Carnotite, sabugalite [HAI(UO2)4(PO4)4 • 16H2O] and autunite occur in the basal 25 feet of a 270-foot sequence of nonmarine bedded gypsum and gypsiferous clay in the Brule formation of Oligocene age about 12 miles northeast of Chadron in northeastern Dawes County, Nebraska. Uranium minerals are visible at only two localities and are associated with carbonaceous matter. Elsewhere...
Fifty-fifth Christmas Bird Count. 159. Ocean City, Md
C.S. Robbins
1955, Audubon Field Notes (9) 115-116
The distribution of dynamic pressure behind a Harris' hawk's wing was sampled using a wake rake consisting of 15 pitot tubes and one static tube. The hawk was holding on to a perch, but at an air speed and gliding angle at which it was capable of gliding. The perch...
Winter losses of Canada geese at Pea Island, North Carolina
A.B. Cowan, C. M. Herman
1955, Conference Paper, Proceedings of the annual conference of the Southeastern Association of Game and Fish Commissioners
Report of research and findings to date. Topics discussed include: studies on life history and biology of gizzard worm; results of autopsies; experiments on survival and transmission of gizzard worm eggs and larvae in both field and laboratory; persistence of infections; and results of infections in geese of different...
Pesticide toxicity, effects of chlorinated hydrocarbon insecticides upon quail and pheasants
J.B. DeWitt
1955, Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry (3) 672-676
Previous studies had shown that heavy or repeated applications of DDT resulted in decreases.in bird populations, but long-range effects of this and other chlorinated hydrocarbon insecticides had not been fully evaluated. Experiments were conducted to determine toxiCitY to quail and pheasants of aldrin, dieldrin, endrin, and strobane, and to...
Macracanthorhynchus ingens from raccoons in Maryland
Carlton M. Herman
1955, Proceedings of the Helminthological Society of Washington (22) 105-105
There have been very few published records of the occurrence of the acanthocephalan parasite Macracanthorhynchus ingens (von Linstow, 1897) in North America. Chandler (1942) and Moore (1946) reported 11 o 13 raccoons (Procyon lotor) trapped in Angelina County, Texas, infected with these intestinal parasites. From 1 to 90 worms occurred...

Distribution and abundance of the Wilson's snipe in western Canada
C.S. Robbins
1955, Book chapter, Investigations of Woodcock, Snipe, and Rails in 1954
1. An extensive field check was made of snipe habitat in those parts of western Canada (excluding most of British Columbia) which are accessible by road. 2. Nesting snipe were found to be very scarce in the whole Short-grass Prairie region, widely distributed and locally common in the Parklands,...

1955, Water Supply Paper 1330
The early industries in America generally were established when and where demands for the products of industry arose. Most of the early industries were so located that their increasing requirements for transportation, raw materials, market, labor, and water supply could be satisfied economically. Many of these original plant locations have...

Some physical properties of naturally irradiated fluorite
Robert Berman
1955, Trace Elements Investigations 569
Five samples of purple fluorite found in association with radioactive, materials, and a synthetic colorless control sample were studied and compared. Before and after heating, observations were made on specific gravity, index of refraction, unit-cell size, breadth of X-ray diffraction lines, and fluorescence. The purple samples became colorless on heating...
The thoron-tartaric acid systems for the spectrophotometric determination of thorium
F. S. Grimaldi, Mary H. Fletcher
1955, Trace Elements Investigations 571
Thoron is popularly used for the spectrophotometric determination of thorium. An undesirable feature of its use is the high sensitivity of the reagent toward zirconium. This study describes the use of tartaric acid as a masking reagent for zirconium. Three tartaric acid-thoron systems, developed for the determination of thorium, differ...

As a part of the Geological Survey's program of investigating uranium-bearing carbonaceous rocks on behalf of the Division of Raw Materials of the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission, a reconnaissance of the Sharon Springs member of the Pierre shale in western Kansas and eastern Colorado was conducted during 1954. The Sharon Springs...
