A method for estimating fall adult sex ratios from production and survival data
Howard M. Wight, Robert G. Heath, A. D. Geis
1965, Journal of Wildlife Management (29) 185-192
This paper presents a method of utilizing data relating to the production and survival of a bird population to estimate a basic fall adult sex ratio. This basic adult sex ratio is an average value derived from average production and survival rates. It is an estimate of the average sex...

The printout comprises hydraulic properties of each section and computed discharges for each component...
Results of woodcock wing collections, 1959 to 1962
F.W. Martin, A. D. Geis, William H. Stickel
1965, Journal of Wildlife Management (29) 121-131
During hunting seasons from 1959 to 1962, age and sex determined from 45,444 wings were used to measure annual productivity of woodcocks (Philohela minor). Age of birds was determined by pattern and color of secondaries and by wear on primaries. Sex was determined by width and length of primaries. Overall...

Ground-water pumpage and water-level changes in the Milwaukee-Waukesha area, Wisconsin, 1950-61
J. H. Green, R. D. Hutchinson
1965, Water Supply Paper 1809-I
Artesian water pressure in the deep sandstone aquifer continued to decline throughout most of the Milwaukee-Waukesha area, Wisconsin between 1950 and 1961. Areas of greatest water-level decline were in northeast Waukesha County and in northwest Milwaukee County. The chief cause of the decline was continued heavy pumpage. The major aquifers...
The black-spot (Uvulifer ambloplitis: Trematoda: Strigeoidea) of centrarchid fishes
G. L. Hoffman, R.E. Putz
1965, Transactions of the American Fisheries Society (94) 143-151
Adult Uvulifer ambloplitis were recovered from a kingfisher and the worm eggs were incubated. Helisoma snails were infected with the resultant miracidia. Cercariae, very similar, but not identical to Cercaria bessiae, were recovered and used to infect fish. It was possible to infect Lepomis macrochirus, but not Catostomus commersoni, Cottus...
Some diseases and parasites of captive woodcocks
L. N. Locke, William H. Stickel, S.A. Geis
1965, Journal of Wildlife Management (29) 156-161
Observations were made concerning the diseases and parasites of a group of woodcocks (Philohela minor) caught in Massachusetts in the summer of 1960 and kept in captivity in Maryland, and of another group caught and kept in Louisiana in the winter of 1960-61. Bumblefoot, a granulomatous swelling of the foot...
Movements of hatchery-reared lake trout in Lake Superior
Richard L. Pycha, William R. Dryer, George R. King
1965, Journal of the Fisheries Research Board of Canada (22) 999-1024
The history of stocking of lake trout (Salvelinus namaycush) in the Great Lakes is reviewed. The study of movements is based on capture of 24,275 fin-clipped lake trout taken in experimental gill nets and trawls and commercial gill nets. Yearling lake trout planted from shore dispersed to 15-fath (27-m) depths...

Water supply and management concepts
Luna Bergere Leopold
1965, Industrial Water Engineering (2) 10-22
If I had to cite one fact about water in the United States which would be not only the most important but also the most informative, the one I would choose would k this: Over 50 percent of all the water presently being used in the United States is used...

The binary system K2SO4CaSO4
J.J. Rowe, G.W. Morey, I.D. Hansen
1965, Journal of Inorganic and Nuclear Chemistry (27) 53-58
The binary system K2SO4CaSO4 was studied by means of heating-cooling curves, differential thermal analysis, high-temperature quenching technique and by means of a heating stage mounted on an X-ray diffractometer. Compositions and quench products were identified optically and by X-ray. Limited solid solution of CaSO4 in...
A new Rosalina (foraminifera) parasitic on a bivalve
R. Todd
1965, Deep-Sea Research and Oceanographic Abstracts (12)
In a collection of pelecypods from deep water off the west coast of Africa, several specimens of a new species of the foraminifer, Rosalina, are attached to the umbonal area of the bivalve. In addition, numerous attachment scars are observed on the exterior...

1965, International Association of Scientific Hydrology - Bulletin (10) 12-21
The Vigil Network consists of places where observations are made through time to record changes in landscape features over a long period. Resurveys will usually be made once each year or every few years and the period of observation, hopefully, will extend through and beyond the International Hydrological Decade.Vigil Network...
Control of alligatorweed in South Carolina with granular silvex
Frank B. McGilvrey, J.H. Steenis
1965, Weeds (13) 66-68
Silvex, [2-(2,4,5-trichlorophenoxy)propionic acid], impregnated (20% ae) on clay granules, applied at a rate as low as 20 lb/A ae gave excellent control of well-rooted alligatorweed [Alternanthera philoxeroides (Mart.) Grieb] growing in less than 18 inches of water. The 2-ethylhexyl ester of silvex was more effective than the potassium salt. Silvex...

Characteristics and identification of oxidative Pseudomonads isolated from diseased fish
G. L. Bullock, S. F. Snieszko, C. E. Dunbar
1965, Journal of General Microbiology (38) 1-7
Several characteristics of 20 strains of oxidative pseudomonads, all but one of which were isolated from freshwater fish, were determined. All strains oxidized glucose and gluconate, produced NH3 from 1 % peptone, grew at 6, 12, 20 and 30° and produced cytochrome oxidase. Lipase was produced by 17 of the...
Solution of rocks and refractory minerals by acids at high temperatures and pressures. Determination of silica after decomposition with hydrofluoric acid
I. May, J.J. Rowe
1965, Analytica Chimica Acta (33) 648-654
A modified Morey bomb was designed which contains a removable nichromecased 3.5-ml platinium crucible. This bomb is particularly useful for decompositions of refractory samples for micro- and semimicro-analysis. Temperatures of 400–450° and pressures estimated as great as 6000 p.s.i. were maintained in the bomb for...
Geochemistry of Birch Creek, Inyo County, California a travertine depositing creek in an arid climate
I. Barnes
1965, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (29) 85-112
A small stream in eastern California was studied in detail to determine the causes of travertine deposition from the stream. Although the ground water feeding the stream is slightly supersaturated to just saturated with calcite, the ground water is supersaturated with CO2 with respect...
Vacuum-jacketed hydrofluoric acid solution calorimeter
R. A. Robie
1965, Review of Scientific Instruments (36) 484-486
A vacuum‐jacketed metal calorimeter for determining heats of solution in aqueous HF was constructed. The reaction vessel was made of copper and was heavily gold plated. The calorimeter has a cooling constant of 0.6 cal‐deg−1‐min−1, approximately ¼ that of the air‐jacketed calorimeters most commonly used with HF. It reaches equilibrium within 10 min after turning off the heater current. Measurements...
A review of advances in the study of diseases of fish: 1954-1964

1965, Progressive Fish-Culturist (27) 3-12
STUDY OF DISEASE IN ANIMALS, INCLUDING MAN, has progressed rapidly in the past decade. Looking back, we find amazing success in the study of man's diseases and possibly only a little less success in studies of diseases of domesticated homeothermic animals. We who are interested in the poikilothermic animals may feel...
