The genus Proctoeces was erected by Odhner ( 191 1) to contain Distonium maculatuni Looss, 1901, from Labrus merula and Crenilabrus spp. at Triest. Odhner had found the parasite in Blennius ocellaris at Naples. One adult specimen from Chrysophrys bifasciata and two immature specimens from lulis lunaris taken in the...
Water resource development and management
Luna Bergere Leopold
1959, Journal of the American Water Works Association (51) 821-827
In a sandy, riverside location in Wisconsin, my family has a farm, once abandoned by a previous owner because it would not produce much corn. By the time we bought it – for a pittance – only a few remnants of white pine remained from the magnificent stands made famous...

Roland L. Wigley
1959, Fishery Bulletin of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service 561-617
A life history study of the sea lamprey, Petromyson marinus Linnaeus, in Cayuga Lake, N.Y., was conducted during 1950, 1951, and 1952. One of the major objectives was to obtain biological data concerning this endemic stock of sea lampreys for comparison with the newly established stocks in the Great Lakes....

Periodic heat flow in a stratified medium with application to permafrost problems
Arthur H. Lachenbruch
1958, Open-File Report 58-57
Solutions to the Fourier heat equation for quasi-steady periodic flow in a stratified semi-infinite medium can be obtained readily by standard methods. The results have wide application to studies of earth-temperature variations induced by diurnal, annual, and other periodic variations in ground surface temperature. Much of the previous work on...

P.M. Brown
1958, Economic Geology (53) 85-101
Recent ground-water studies undertaken by the U.S. Geological Survey in cooperation with the North Carolina Division of Mineral Resources have delineated phosphorite deposits, tentatively regarded as being of middle Miocene age, in Beaufort County. These deposits lie unconforma-bly on limestone of Eocene age and are unconformably overlain by late Miocene...

D. A. Phoenix
1958, GSA Bulletin (69) 403-418
In southwestern Colorado and southeastern Utah, strata of conglomeratic sandstone are localized at the base of the Brushy Basin Member of the Morrison Formation of Jurassic age. These discrete lithologic units contain sedimentary structures oriented in a prevailing easterly direction. They are believed to cover about one-third of the underlying...
Technique for the extraction and partial chemical analysis of fluid-filled inclusions from minerals
Edwin Roedder
1958, Economic Geology (53) 235-269
A method has been developed for the extraction and limited chemical analysis of the materials in solution in the fluid from the very minute fluid-filled inclusions such as commonly occur in whitish or milky quartz. The method may also be applied, with some reservations, to a variety of other minerals....
Apparatus and technique for multiple tests by the confined-spot method of colorimetric analysis: Application to field estimation of nickel and copper
J. H. McCarthy Jr., R.E. Stevens
1958, Analytical Chemistry (30) 535-538
The confined-spot method of colorimetric analysis is generally applicable to the semiquantitative estimation of traces of ions in solution that form colored precipitates or otherwise alter material on a confined area of reagent paper. For precise results, the rate of flow of test solutions through the reagent paper must be...
Federal chemist reports on insecticide dangers
J.B. DeWitt
1957, South Carolina Wildlife (4) 4-5,

C. A. Kaye
1957, Geological Society of America Bulletin (68) 47-54
Geology, which was of far-reaching importance on the Western Front of World War I, played a less spectacular role during World War II in so far as the United States armies in Europe were concerned. The U. S. Army in the European Theater of Operations (ETO) used geologists in two...
Chapter 22: Environments and facies of existing bays on the central Texas coast
H. S. Ladd, J.W. Hedgpeth, R.J. Post
1957, Memoir of the Geological Society of America (67) 599-640
The estuaries and neritic waters along the central Texas coast are characterized by broad ranges of environmental factors, providing conditions favorable to temperate organisms in winter and tropical organisms in summer. Dredging in the coastal waters revealed a number of distinct faunal facies, the distribution of which appears to be...

Frank Clarkson Armstrong
1957, Economic Geology (52) 211-224
Geologic settings in central and eastern Montana and in a few places in southwestern Montana are similar to the settings in areas favorable for the occurrence of uranium deposits. Several areas in Montana seem especially favorable for the occurrence of uranium.The alkalic igneous rock province of central Montana is similar...
Thermal waters of volcanic origin
Donald E. White
1957, GSA Bulletin (68) 1637-1658
Waters of widely differing chemical compositions have been considered at least in part volcanic in origin, and are commonly associated with each other in the same area. Do any or all of these types contain volcanic components, and if so, how are the different types derived?To determine the probable characteristics...
Evolution and distribution of the coregonids
Stanford H. Smith
1957, Journal of the Fisheries Research Board of Canada (14) 599-604
Increased knowledge of the morphological and physiological plasticity of the coregonids has minimized the significance of conflicting morphological data that have retarded the development of an evolutionary theory. Of the four phyletic lines recognized through worldwide studies,Coregonus originated in the lake and stream area of northwest Eurasia, Stenodus andProsopium evolved in the rivers of...

1956, Audubon Field Notes (10) 565-583
Summary and Recommendations: We suggest that managers are approaching the limits of their ability to improve waterfowl harvest management, primarily because the information needed to make better decisions is being sacrificed by the current approach to setting regulations. We propose an actively adaptive management strategy in which regulatory...
