Isotope studies of dolomite formation under sedimentary conditions
R.N. Clayton, B.F. Jones
1968, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (32)
Measurements of stable isotope abundances of the carbonate portion of the sediment in Deep Springs Lake, California, indicate the presence of at least three phases: a magnesian calcite, a primary sedimentary dolomite, and a detrital dolomite. The former two have isotopic compositions consistent with precipitation at isotopic equilibrium from waters...
Activity product constant of cryolite at 25°C and one atmosphere using selective-ion electrodes to estimate sodium and fluoride activities
C. E. Roberson, J.D. Hem
1968, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (32) 1343-1351
The activity product constant of cryolite (Na3AlF6) at 25°C and 1 atm total pressure was calculated from data for solutions from which synthetic cryolite or mixtures of cryolite and a solid apparently related to ralstonite had precipitated. The activities of fluoride and of sodium were estimated using specific ion...

Rehabilitation of lake trout in the Apostle Islands region of Lake Superior
William R. Dryer, George R. King
1968, Journal of the Fisheries Research Board of Canada (25) 1377-1403
Marked success of rehabilitation of lake trout in Lake Superior has been due principally to the control of the sea lamprey and closure of the lake trout fishery in 1962 and large-scale plantings of yearling lake trout in 1959-66. After the sea lamprey became established in the late 1940s, spawning...
Seasonal depth distribution of fish in southeastern Lake Michigan
LaRue Wells
1968, Fishery Bulletin (67) 1-15
This study is based on systematic seasonal bottom trawling between 3 and 50 fathoms (5.5 and 91.5 m.) from February to November 1964 and supplementary information from other experimental fishing at additional depths and with other gear. The seasonal depth distribution of eight common species is described, and temperature relations...

Water quality of streams tributary to Lakes Superior and Michigan
Jerome W. Zimmerman
1968, Special Scientific Report - Fisheries 559
Water quality of streams tributary to Lakes Superior and Michigan was analyzed for 142 stations on 99 streams tributary to Lake Superior and 83 stations on 56 streams tributary to Lake Michigan during 1962-65. Concentrations of aluminum, copper, and iron were not affected greatly by flow or season. Magnesium, calcium,...

A. G. Hely, Reed W. Mower, C. A. Horr
1968, Utah Basic-Data Release 15
An investigation of the water resources of Salt Lake County, Utah, was undertaken by the Water Resources Division of the U.S. Geological Survey in July 1963. This investigation is a cooperative project financed chiefly by equal contributions of the State of Utah and the Federal Government in accordance with an...
Maps showing locations of surface water stations: catalog of information on water data
1968, Report
United States Bureau of the Budget Circular A-67, issued in 1964, calls upon the Department of the Interior to coordinate certain water-data-acquisition activities by Federal agencies. The Circular contains guidelines for coordinating Federal water-data collection from streams, lakes, reservoirs, estuaries, and ground water; it also contains guidelines for developing a...

On the quantitative inventory of the riverscape
Luna Bergere Leopold, Maura O’Brien Marchand
1968, Water Resources Research (4) 709-717
In the vicinity of Berkeley, California, 24 minor valleys were described in terms of factors chosen to represent aspects of the river landscape. A total of 28 factors were evaluated at each site. Some were directly measurable, others were estimated, but each observation was assigned to one of five categories...
Records of wells, water levels, and chemical quality of water in the lower Santiam River basin, middle Willamette Valley, Oregon
Donald C. Helm
1968, Ground Water Report 13
Basic water data on the lower Santiam River basin is preliminary to a comprehensive hydrologic study of this productive and intensely irrigated area where expanding population and industry increases the demand for water. Highest yielding wells are in shallow alluvial aquifers near...

Some effects of mirex on two warm-water fishes
Charles C. Van Valin, Austin K. Andrews, Lafayette L. Eller
1968, Transactions of the American Fisheries Society (97) 185-196
The effects of mirex on two species of warm-water fishes were studied in three experiments in which the fish were exposed either by feeding a mirex-treated diet, or by treating the holding ponds with a mirex formulation. Bluegills were used in the feeding experiment, where three different levels of mirex...
Selected hydrologic data, San Pitch River drainage basin, Utah

The u.s. Geological Survey investigated the ground-water resources of the San Pitch River drainage basin during the period 1964- 67. The investigation was a cooperative project, financed equally by the Utah Department of Natural Resources, Division of Water Rights, and the Federal Government, and was a part of an investigation...

Design and construction of a dual recharge system at Minot, North Dakota
Wayne A. Pettyjohn
1968, Groundwater (6) 4-8
In 1965, a ground-water recharge facility was constructed and placed in operation to forestall an impending water shortage at Minot, North Dakota. The facility is unique in that the rate of recharge to a buried sand and gravel aquifer is augmented by perforating an overlying bed of clay using hydraulic...
Annulus formation on scales of four species of coregonids reared under artificial conditions
Walter J. Hogman
1968, Journal of the Fisheries Research Board of Canada (25) 2111-2122
Scales from known-age coregonids reared in the laboratory were examined to determine when annuli formed and to learn possible factors of their formation. Scales were taken monthly from marked fish for periods up to 21 months. Scales were also examined from fish that died and from preserved specimens of young-of-the-year...
