Results of varying the ratio of largemouth black bass and bluegills in the stocking of experimental farm ponds
E. W. Surber
1947, Transactions of the American Fisheries Society (77) 141-151
During the period 1943 to 1946, several combinations of largemouth black bass (Micropterus salmoides) and bluegill (Lepomis macrochirus) were stocked in ponds on the station grounds at Leetown, West Virginia. These ponds were fertilized with 12–5–5, inorganic fertilizer, but when water blooms failed to control the submerged vegetation, sodium...
Preliminary report on stratigraphy and structure of the area of the Colville River north of Umiat, Alaska
Karl Stefansson, R. F. Thurrell Jr., J. H. Zumberge
1947, Geological Investigations, Naval Petroleum Reserve No. 4, Alaska 13
The stratigraphy and structure of the area of the Colville north of Umiat was studied by U. S. GeologicaI Survey Party No. 1 during the period of May 31 to July 19, 1947. The. party, consisting pf two geologists, a cook, and a "weasel" mechanic, left Umiat in two "weasels”....
Preliminary report on the general geology and engineering geology of Noonan quadrangle, North Dakota
R. C. Townsend
1947, Report
The Noonan quadrangle is in northwestern North Dakota adjacent to the Dominion of Canada and approximately 35 miles east of Montana. The small coal-mining, farm, and railroad town of Noonan is located near the eastern edge of this sparsely populated area. The east-west State Highway 5 bisects the quadrangle.Cultural development...
Part 3: Volcano investigations on Umnak Island, 1946

1947, Report, Alaskan Volcano Investigations Report No. 2
Umnak Island is a dumbbell-shaped island in the eastern part of the Aleutian Islands. The island is 70 miles long and trends northeast-southwest. During 1946 volcano investigations were begun on the island and geologic mapping of most of northeastern Umnak Island was completed.Okmok Volcano, a large, broad volcanic mountain rising...

Suggestions as to future research in ground‐water hydrology
O. E. Meinzer
1947, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (28) 418-420
Determination of the ground‐water supply available from any aquifer or in any specified area requires not merely the application of specific quantitative methods but also a broad and accurate knowledge of the geologic, hydrologlc, and geochemical factors that are involved, and consideration of the economic and legal limitations. Further research...

The Upper Mississippi River Embayment is a region of about 45,000 square miles in the Mississippi River Valley extending from the vicinity of the 34th parallel northward to the mouth of the Ohio River. It includes parts of Arkansas, Mississippi, Tennessee, Kentucky, and Missouri. In 1940 about 2,700,000 people inhabited...
Geology and ground-water resources of Puerto Rico
Charles Lee McGuinness
1947, Economic Geology (42) 563-571
Puerto Rico, the easternmost and smallest of the Greater Antilles, has an axis of deformed and metamorphosed volcanic rocks of Upper Cretaceous age, intruded by dioritic rocks during the Antillean revolution. The hard-rock core is flanked on the north and south by limestones and clastic rocks of late Oligocene and...
