Tidal fluctuations of water level observed in wells in East Tennessee
R. M. Richardson
1956, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (37) 461-462
Semidiurnal water‐level fluctuations of tidal period have been observed in wells completed in the Chickamauga limestone of Middle and Late Ordovician age in east Tennessee. The periodic oscillations of the water level are similar to fluctuations in artesian pressure that in other localities have been recognized and correlated with earth...

Gila Polychrome pottery has been recognized since the time of the earliest archaeological work in the Southwest. Cushing, in 1887–88, recognized in the polychromes at Los Muertos and other Classic period sites of the Hohokam area the pottery type we now call Gila Polychrome. As more of the Southwest became...

Ground water in northeastern Louisville, Kentucky with reference to induced infiltration
M. I. Rorabaugh
1956, Water Supply Paper 1360-B
In cooperation with the city of Louisville, Ky., the U. S. Geological Survey made a detailed investigation during the period February 1945 to March 1947 of the ground-water resources of a 3-square-mile area along the Ohio River north-east of Louisville. Test drilling shows that the principal aquifer consists of about...
Ground-water geology of the coastal zone, Long Beach-Santa Ana area, California
J. F. Poland, A. M. Piper
1956, Water Supply Paper 1109
This paper is the first chapter of a comprehensive report on the ground-water features in the southern part of the coastal plain in Los Angeles and Orange Counties, Calif., with special reference to the effectiveness of the so-called coastal barrier--the Newport-Inglewood structural zone--in restraining landwar,-1 movement of saline water. The...
Histopathology of kidney disease in fish
E. M. Wood, W. T. Yasutake
1956, American Journal of Pathology (32) 591-603
Kidney disease is one of the most puzzling fish diseases known to exist in the United States. In less than Io years it has invaded the Pacific Northwest, exacting a heavy toll of hatchery salmon. Its first appearance apparently was in Massachusetts where Belding and Merrill' described a disease similar...

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...
