Bacterial diseases of fishes: Diagnostic procedures for gram-negative pathogens
E. B. Shotts Jr., G. L. Bullock
1975, Journal of the Fisheries Research Board of Canada (32) 1243-1247
A diagnostic scheme employing 10 media, 4 reagents, and 5 specific antiserums has been devised for identification of gram-negative pathogens of fishes. The scheme is not intended for detailed speciation of organisms, but for generic identification of organisms associated with infected fishes. Diagnosis can be accomplished in 24 h with selective...

Variation in response of channel catfish to Henneguya sp. infections (Protozoa: Myxosporidea)
J. P. McCraren, M.L. Landolt, G. L. Hoffman, F. P. Meyer
1975, Journal of Wildlife Diseases (11) 2-7
Infections in channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus, Rafinesque) induced by the sporozoan Henneguya (Protozoa: Myxosporidea) result in seven known and diverse disease manifestations. Most outstanding is an interlamellar branchial form responsible for significant losses among immature catfish, and a unique papillomatous form. The question of whether or not the species of Henneguya involved in these...
A rural mail-carrier index of North Dakota red foxes
S.H. Allen, A.B. Sargeant
1975, Wildlife Society Bulletin (3) 74-77
Rural mail-carrier sightings of red foxes (Vulpes vulpes) during mid-April, -July, and -September of 1969-73 were compared to spring fox family estimates derived by aerial searches of six townships. The mid-April mail-carrier index reflected annual fox density changes on the six townships (correlation coefficient = 0.958) . Random exclusions of...
Use of elevated nest baskets by ducks
Harold A. Doty, F.B. Lee, A.D. Kruse
1975, Wildlife Society Bulletin (3) 68-73
Open-top nest baskets were mounted on upright metal poles in various wetlands to assess the value of baskets as a potential technique for increasing duck nest success. Observations were made from 1966-1968 in North and South Dakota, Minnesota, and Wisconsin and were continued through 1973 in North Dakota. Baskets were...

Fluorescent antibody identification and detection of the Corynebacterium causing kidney disease of salmonids
G. L. Bullock, H. M. Stuckey
1975, Journal of the Fisheries Research Board of Canada (32) 2224-2227
An indirect fluorescent antibody technique (FAT) has been developed for serological identification, diagnosis of kidney disease (KD), and detection of subclinical infections of KD. Rabbit or goat antikidney disease serum and appropriately labeled immunoglobulin was found to be specific for the KD bacterium. The technique was superior to examination of...

Duck plague in free-flying waterfowl observed during the Lake Andes epizootic
S.J. Proctor, G.L. Pearson, Louis Leibovitz
1975, Wildlife Disease Conference (67) 1-16
The first major epizootic of duck plague in free-flying waterfowl occurred at Lake Andes, South Dakota, in January and February, 1973. Duck plague was diagnosed in black ducks, mallards, pintail-mallard hybrids, redheads, common mergansers, common golden eyes, canvasbacks, American widgeon, wood ducks, and Canada geese, indicating the general susceptibility of...
Geothermal significance of eastward increase in age of upper Cenozoic rhyolitic domes in southeastern Oregon
Norman S. MacLeod, George Walton Walker, Edwin H. McKee
1975, Open-File Report 75-348
Rhyolitic domes, flows, and ash-flow tuffs of Miocene to Holocene age form an important part of the thick sequence of Cenozoic volcanic rocks that cover southeastern Oregon east of the Cascade Range. Rhyolitic domes 11-17 m.y. old are widespread, particularly in the easternmost part of the state and in adjacent...

Gut morphology of mallards in relation to diet quality
M. R. Miller
1975, Journal of Wildlife Management (39) 168-173
Digestive organ lengths, weights, and volumes in each of three groups of mallards (Anas platyrhynchos) were determined at the end of a 21-day period, during which one group was starter (control diet), another group was fed whole corn (low fiber content), and the third fed alfalfa pellets (high fiber content)...
The Sargent-Berrocal Fault Zone and its relation to the San Andreas Fault system in the southern San Francisco Bay region and Santa Clara Valley, California
Robert McLaughlin
1974, Journal of Research of the U.S. Geological Survey (2) 593-598
The Sargent-Berrocal fault zone is a belt of thrust faults extending for about 58 mi (94 km) southeastward from the vicinity of Los Altos to San Juan Bautista, Calif. The fault zone generally dips southwestward toward the adjacent San Andreas fault at low to steep angles, and the southwest...
The association of geochemical anomalies with a negative gravity anomaly in the Chief Mountain-Soda Creek area, Clear Creek County, Colorado
G.C. Curtin, H. D. King
1974, Journal of Research of the U.S. Geological Survey (2) 581-592
Geochemical studies in the Chief Mountain Soda Creek area, Clear Creek County, Colo., show that anomalously high amounts of Au, Ag, Pb, Zn, Cd, and Bi in mull ash, and Cu and Hg in soil, correspond to a negative gravity anomaly in the Front Range mineral belt. The correspondence of...
Stratigraphic relations of the Bolsa Quartzite, Vekol Mountains, Pinal County, Arizona

A quartzite unit occurring between the rocks of the Precambrian Apache Group and those of the Cambrian Abrigo Formation in the Vekol Mountains, Final County, Ariz., has been called both Troy Quartzite (Precambrian) and Bolsa(?) Quartzite (Cambrian). Regional and local geologic relationships indicate that this intervening unit is definitely the...

Studies on the riboflavin, niacin, pantothenic acid and choline requirements of young Bobwhite quail
John A. Serafin
1974, Poultry Science (53) 1522-1532
Four experiments were conducted to examine the riboflavin, niacin, pantothenic acid and choline requirements of young Bobwhite quail. Quail fed purified diets deficient in either riboflavin, niacin, pantothenic acid or choline grew poorly and high mortality occurred by 5 weeks of age. Under the conditions of these experiments, it was...
Polychlorinated biphenyl toxicity to Japanese quail as related to degree of chlorination
E. F. Hill, R.G. Heath, J. W. Spann, J.D. Williams
1974, Poultry Science (53) 597-604
To learn if the percentage of chlorine in a mixture of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB’s) alone determines toxicity, Japanese quail were fed diets containing Aroclor 1248, 1254, or 1260 at levels that added equal amounts of chlorine to the feed. The experiment comprised two consecutive 5-day periods; three sublethal concentrations of...
