Some general observations of physiographic and climatic influences on floods
W. G. Hoyt, W. B. Langbein
1939, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (20) 166-154
The magnitude of flood‐runoff and the degree to which it concentrates in river‐channels with respect to time is known to vary within wide limits. To a considerable extent these variations relate to the physiographic and edaphlc features of the drainage‐basins as they have been developed by the geologic and climatic...
Part II—Geophysical investigations in the Hawaiian Islands

Sienna ("ocher") deposits of the Cartersville District, Georgia
Thomas L. Kesler
1939, Economic Geology (34) 324-341
Sienna ("ocher") deposits in the Cartersville district, Georgia, occur in the contact zone between dolomitic limestone and underlying quartzite of Lower Cambrian age. These rocks, together with interbedded schists, were folded and recrystallized probably near the close of Paleozoic time. Simple fissures and transverse and oblique faults, formed during the...
Manganese in a thermal spring in west-central Utah
E. Callaghan, Harold E. Thomas
1939, Economic Geology (34) 905-920
The hot spring north of Delta, Utah, is of particular interest because it has yielded commercial manganese ore; 715 tons of manganese oxide ore that averaged 20% manganese and 0.26% sulphur is recorded. The deposits occur as a thin bed and as lenses and nodules in a dome about 1,600...

Geologic map and guide of the island of Oahu, Hawaii
Harold T. Stearns
1939, Bulletin 2
This bulletin, although designated Bulletin 2, is actually the fourth of a series published by the Division of Hydrography of the Territory of Hawaii. All four of the bulletins thus far published relate to the geology and ground-water resources of the island of Oahu.1 Together they present the results obtained...
The age, growth, and feeding habits of the whitefish Coregonus clupeaformis (Mitchell), of Lake Champlain
John Van Oosten, Hilary J. Deason
1939, Transactions of the American Fisheries Society (68) 152-162
This study is based on 120 whitefish collected in northern Lake Champlain (Missisquoi Bay) in 1930 and on 175 whitefish taken in southern Lake Champlain in 1931. Since the whitefish population had not been exploited commercially after 1912 in United States waters and after 1915 in Canadian waters, its study...
Artesian-water levels and interference between artesian wells in the vicinity of Lehi, Utah
G.H. Taylor, H. E. Thomas
1939, Water Supply Paper 836-C
In the vicinity of Lehi, Utah, about 25 miles south of Salt Lake City, supplies of artesian water are obtained at depths of 75 to 750 feet from beds of sand and gravel of Pleistocene age. Individual beds are probably lenticular and irregular in shape, as is characteristic of the...
