Nationwide residues of organochlorine pesticides in wings of mallards and black ducks
Robert G. Heath
1969, Pesticides Monitoring Journal (3) 115-123
Nationwide monitoring of organochlorine pesticides in wings of more than 24,000 mallards and black ducks bagged during the1965 and 1966 hunting seasons showed DDE to be the predominant residue, followed in order by DDT, DDD, dieldrin, and heptachlor epoxide. Residues were generally highest in wings from the Atlantic and...

Archibald McDiarmid, editor(s)
1969, Book chapter, Diseases in free-living wild animals: the proceedings of a symposium held at the Zoological Society of London on 9 and 10 May 1968
Blood protozoa were first reported from wild birds in 1884. Since then numerous surveys throughout the world have demonstrated their presence in a wide variety of hosts and localities with continuing designations of new species. Taxonomic determinations include parasites in the genera Plasmodium, Haemoproteus, Leucocytozoon, Babesia, Lankesterella and Trypanosoma....

Analysis of a 24-Year photographic record of Nisqually glacier, Mount Rainier National Park, Washington
Fred M. Veatch
1969, Professional Paper 631
A systematic coverage of Nisqually Glacier by photographs taken from a network of stations on the ground was begun in 1942 to explore the value and limitations of such photographs as an aid in glacier study. Principles developed may be of value elsewhere, especially for the program 'Measurement of Glacier...
Chemical properties of ground water and their corrosion and encrustation effects on wells
Ivan Barnes, Frank Eldridge Clarke
1969, Professional Paper 498-D
Well waters in Egypt, Nigeria, and West Pakistan were studied for their chemical properties and corrosive or encrusting behavior. From the chemical composition of the waters, reaction states with reference to equilibrium were tested for 29 possible coexisting oxides, carbonates, sulfides, and elements. Of the 29 solids considered, only calcite,...

Mercury in soil gas and air--A potential tool in mineral exploration
Joseph Howard McCarthy, W.W. Vaughn, R. E. Learned, J. L. Meuschke
1969, Circular 609
The mercury content in soil gas and in the atmosphere was measured in several mining districts to test the possibility that the mercury content in the atmosphere is higher over ore deposits than over barren ground. At Cortez, Nev., the distribution of anorhalous amounts of mercury in the air collected...
Measurement of discharge by the moving-boat method
George F. Smoot, Charles E. Novak
1969, Techniques of Water-Resources Investigations 03-A11
This chapter describes the procedures for measuring discharge in large streams by the moving-boat technique. During the traverse of a boat across a stream, a sonic sounder records the geometry of the cross section, and a continuously operating current meter senses the combined stream and boat velocities. These data are...
