Rodent repellents, correlation between chemical structure and rodent repellency of benzoic acid derivatives
J.E. Fearn, J.B. DeWitt
1965, Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry (13) 116-117
Sixty-five benzoic acid derivatives were either prepared or obtained from commercial concerns, tested for rat repellency, and their indices of repellency computed. The data from these tests were considered analytically for any correlation between chemical structure and rat repellency. The results suggest a qualitative relationship which is useful...
Care of captive woodcocks
William H. Stickel, William G. Sheldon, Lucille F. Stickel
1965, Journal of Wildlife Management (29) 161-172
Numbers of American woodcocks (Philohela minor) were held in cages for experimental work lasting several months. Injuries caused by birds attempting to flush were greatly reduced by clipping feathers from one wing, by making cage walls opaque, and by using high cages or false ceilings of fabric. Size of cage...
Bird mortality after spraying for Dutch elm disease with DDT
C.F. Wurster, D.H. Wurster, W.N. Strickland
1965, Science (148) 90-91
In Hanover, New Hampshire, where elms were sprayed with DDT, 151 dead birds were found; 10 dead birds were found in Norwich, Vermont, where no DDT was used. Chemical analyses of dead birds, observation of symptoms of DDT poisoning, and a population decline after spraying all indicate severe mortality among...
Body condition and response to pesticides in woodcocks
William H. Stickel, Wendell E. Dodge, William G. Sheldon, James B. DeWitt, Lucille F. Stickel
1965, Journal of Wildlife Management (29) 147-155
Response of woodcocks (Philohela minor) to heptachlor dosage was closely related to the physical condition of the birds, as reflected by body weight and by body weight in relation to capture weight: in a series of tests with underweight birds, nearly all woodcocks died at dosage levels well below those...
Natal plumage characters in rails
D.K. Wetherbee, B. Meanley
1965, The Auk (82) 500-501
The downy young of the Clapper Rail (Rallus longirostris), King Rail (Rallus elegans), and Virginia Rail (Rallus limicola) are described as totally black in all literature examined by us. Wetherbee (Bird-Banding, 32: 141-159, 1961) noted that some neonates of Virginia Rail from Storrs, Connecticut, had patches...
Additional records of aspergillosis among passerine birds in Maryland and the Washington, DC metropolitan area
L. N. Locke
1965, Chesapeake Science (6) 120-121
Two cases of aspergillosis involving four adult cowbirds (Molothrus ater) collected during the nesting season are reported. Aspergillosis was found in house sparrows (Passer domesticus) on two occasions....

A final report on computed magneto-telluric curves for hypothetical models of crustal structure
J.I. Pritchard
1965, Crustal Studies Technical Letters 32
Several mathematical models were investigated to determine the capa-bilities of the magneto-telluric method for determining the resistivity structure of the earth's crust. The model parameters were based on the crust model proposed by Keller (1963). The mathematical technique used was developed by Cagniard (1953). The investigations indicate that a three-layer...

Effects of the earthquake of March 27, 1964, at Anchorage, Alaska
Wallace R. Hansen
1965, Professional Paper 542-A
Anchorage, Alaska’s largest city, is about 80 miles west-northwest of the epicenter of the March 27 earthquake. Because of its size, Anchorage bore the brunt of property damage from the quake; it sustained greater losses than all the rest of Alaska combined. Damage was caused by direct seismic vibration, by...
Effects of the earthquake of March 27, 1964, at Whittier, Alaska
Reuben Kachadoorian
1965, Professional Paper 542-B
Whittier, Alaska, lying at the western end of Passage Canal, is an ocean terminal of The Alaska Railroad. The earthquake that shook south-central Alaska at 5:36 p.m. (Alaska Standard Time) on March 27, 1964, took the lives of 13 persons and caused more than $5 million worth of damage to...

1965, Water Supply Paper 1475-Q
The increase in the number of visitors during the past several years at Mammoth Cave National Park has rendered the present water supply inadequate. Emergency measures were necessary during August 1962 to supplement the available supply. The Green River is the largest potential source of water supply for Mammoth Cave....
