The effect of anesthetization and urinary bladder catheterization on renal function of rainbow trout
J.B. Hunn, W. A. Willford
1970, Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology (33) 805-812
1. Rainbow trout were anesthetized with MS-222 (Sandoz) or methylpentynol and catheterized. Urine was collected at selected intervals up to 48 hr. 2. Effects of MS-222 anesthesia on urine flow and composition were isolated from the stress of catheterization by re-anesthetizing the fish 18 to 20 hr post catheterization....
Base-flow study of Suamico River basin, Oconto, Brown, Shawano and Outagamie counties, Wisconsin
Robert W. Devaul
1970, Report
The Suamico River is a gaining stream throughout its entire reach. No loss of water from the streams was noted between any measuring sites. The August 12 measurements were made during base-flow period when flow duration was about 50 to 55 percent (table 2). The August 28 measurements were made...

Robert W. Devaul
1970, Report
The Little Suamico River is a gaining stream throughout its entire reach. No loss of water from the streams was noted between any measuring sites. The August 13 measurements were made during a base-flow period when flow duration was about 50 to 55 percent (table 2). The August 27, 28...
Base-flow study of East River basin Brown and Calumet counties, Wisconsin
Robert W. Devaul
1970, Report
Streams in the East River basin gain ground water throughout most of their reaches, however, ground-water pumping of the Green Bay - DePere area may reduce the water being gained by the streams from ground water. The August 13, 14 measurements were made during base-flow period when flow duration was...

Biostratigraphy and dolomite porosity trends of the Lisburne Group
Augustus K. Armstrong, Bernard L. Mamet
1970, Book chapter, Proceedings of the geological seminar on the North Slope of Alaska, 1970
This preliminary study is based on measured and carefully collected sections of the Lisburne Group (fig. 1, sees. 1-29). The outcrops extend from Cape Lisburne (sec. 1) in the west to Egaksrak River (sec. 29) in northeastern Alaska and are used as the basic building blocks for the carbonate facies...

1970, Water Data Report NM-69-1
Surface-water records for the 1969 water year for New Mexico, including records of streamflow or reservoir storage at gaging stations, partial-record stations, and miscellaneous sites, are given in this report and their locations shown in figures 1, 2. Records for a few pertinent gaging stations in bordering states also are...
Tholeiitic basalt magmatism of Kilauea and Mauna Loa volcanoes of Hawaii
K. J. Murata
1970, Die Naturwissenschaften (57) 108-113
The primitive magmas of Kilauca and Mauna Loa are generated by partial melting of mantle peridotite at depths of −60 km or more. Results of high-pressure melting experiments indicate that the primitive melt must contain at least 20% MgO in order to have olivine as a...
Lead and strontium isotopes in rocks of the Absaroka volcanic field, Wyoming
Z. E. Peterman, B. R. Doe, H.J. Prostka
1970, Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology (27) 121-130
The Absaroka volcanic field is comprised of predominant andesitic volcaniclastic rocks and less abundant potassium-rich mafic lavas (shoshonites and absarokites). Strontium and lead isotopic variations preclude a simple derivation from an isotopically uniform source: Sr87/Sr86, 0.7042 to 0.7090; Pb206/Pb204, 16.31 to 17.30; Pb208/Pb204, 36.82 to 37.64....
Relationship between subsidence and volcanic load, Hawaii
J.G. Moore
1970, Bulletin Volcanologique (34) 562-576
A computer analysis of tide-gage records in the northeast Pacific indicates that the active volcanic islands of eastern Hawaii are subsiding at a rate considerably faster than the eustatic rise of sea level. The rate of absolute subsidence increases progressively toward the center of current activity on the Island of...
Distribution of rubidium between sodic sanidine and natural silicic liquid
D. C. Noble, C. E. Hedge
1970, Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology (29) 234-241
Phenocrysts of sodic sanidine from twelve upper Cenozoic units of silicic ash-flow tuff and lava from the Western United States contain from 0.25 to 0.45 the Rb present in the associated groundmass materials. The ratios of potassium to rubidium in the sanidines are, on the average,...

Bronzed cowbird taken in Florida
R.E. Matteson
1970, The Auk (87) 588-588
On 8 November 1968 in Gainesville, Florida, I removed a male Bronzed Cowbird (Tangavius a. aeneus) from a blackbird decoy trap containing a large number of Brown-headed Cowbirds (Malothrus ater). Oliver L. Austin, Jr., at the Florida State Museum, verified the species identification by noting the notched inner webs of...
Head-scratching method of the Swainson's warbler
Brooke Meanley
1970, The Auk (87) 163-163
Ficken and Ficken (Auk, 85: 136, 1968) suggest that the "Head-scratching method may prove a valuable addition to the set of complex characters that can be used in defining genera," and that field observers should continue to fill gaps in our knowledge of this behavior. In the course of a...
Organochlorine insecticide residues in soils and soil invertebrates from agricultural lands
C.D. Gish
1970, Pesticides Monitoring Journal (3) 241-252
Soils and earthworms and other soil invertebrates were collected from 67 agricultural fields in eight States. Samples were analyzed by gas chromatography for DDE, DDD, DDT, aldrin, dieldrin, endrin, heptachlor, heptachlor epoxide, and gamma-chlordane insecticides. Organochlorine insecticides in soils averaged 1.5 ppm, dry weight, and in earthworms, 13.8...
Soil-food chain-pesticide wildlife relationships in aldrin-treated fields
L.J. Korschgen
1970, Journal of Wildlife Management (34) 186-199
Soil-food-chain-pesticide wildlife relationships were investigated to learn the concentration of pesticide residues present in soils, macro-invertebrates, vertebrates, and seeds as a result of annual applications of aldrin at recommended rates for pest control. Two central Missouri cornfields treated with aldrin at 1 lb/acre, for 16 and 15 of the past...
Toxicity of DDT to Japanese quail as influenced by body weight, breeding condition, and sex
C.D. Gish, N.J. Chura
1970, Toxicology and Applied Pharmacology (17) 740-751
Controlled experiments were utilized to simulate the stresses on wild birds of breeding condition and of weight loss due to migration. Light conditions in the laboratory were manipulated to produce Japanese quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica) in breeding condition and not in breeding condition. Within each of these groups, some birds...
Passive immunization of pigeons against trichomoniasis
R. M. Kocan
1970, Journal of Protozoology (17) 551-553
Nonimmune homing pigeons Columba livia were infected with the Jones' Barn strain of Trichomonas gallinae and subsequently transfused with plasma from acute or chronically infected pigeons harboring one of 3 different strains of T. gallinae. The transfusions were either a single 2 ml dose given one day after inoculation or three 1 ml doses given 0,...
Molt and taxonomy of red-breasted nuthatches
R.C. Banks
1970, The Wilson Bulletin (82) 201-205
The postnuptial and postjuvenal molts of Red-breasted Nuthatches occur from middle June to late September. Some birds may be nearly finished with the complete molt before other individuals begin, so that specimens taken at any given time may differ by as much as two months in the age of their...
Surfactants as blackbird stressing agents
P.W. Lefebvre, J.L. Seubert
1970, Proceedings of the Vertebrate Pest Conference (4) 156-161
Applications of wetting-agent solutions produce mortality in birds. The exact cause of death is undetermined but it is believed that destruction of the insulating qualities of the plumage permits ambient cold temperatures and evaporation to lower the body temperature to a lethal level. The original concept of using these materials...
