Geology and quicksilver deposits of the Terlingua district, Texas
Robert G. Yates, George A. Thompson
1959, Professional Paper 312
The Terlingua quicksilver district, which has produced more than 150,000 flasks of quicksilver, is in the southern part of the Big Bend region of southwestern Texas. It is a narrow, eastwest area about 20 miles long and lies mainly in southwestern Brewster County. The district is connected by graded road...
Determination of chlorine in silicate rocks
L. C. Peck, E. J. Tomasi
1959, Analytical Chemistry (31) 2024-2026
In a rapid accurate method for the determination of chlorine in silicate rocks, the rock powder is sintered with a sodium carbonate flux containing zinc oxide and magnesium carbonate. The sinter cake is leached with water, the resulting solution is filtered, and the filtrate is acidified with nitric acid. Chlorine...

The electrical resistivity meter in fishery investigations
Robert E. Lennon
1959, Special Scientific Report - Fisheries 287
A portable resistivity (or conductivity) meter is easily used in fishery investigations to obtain rapid and precise measurements of the electrical resistance (or conductance) of waters. These measurements can be used to estimate the total dissolved solids content of waters, to facilitate the selection of appropriate gear for efficient electrofishing,...
New occurrences of ferroselite (FeSe2)
R. G. Coleman
1959, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (16) 296-301
Iron selenide from the uranium-vanadium ores of the Colorado Plateau was under investigation when ferroselite was described as a new mineral in Russia by Bur'yanova and Komkov (1955). Association of ferroselite with selenian pyrite and marcasite within discrete areas of these uranium-vanadium deposits suggests an unusual environment of formation. Its association...

Fluctuations in the population of yellow perch, Perca flavescens(Mitchill), in Saginaw Bay Lake Huron
Salah El-Din El-Zarka
1959, Fishery Bulletin (59) 365-415
SUMMARY: The value of a line of traps as a measure of relative abundance of small mammals was studied by field trials on Peromyscus leucopus populations. Comparisons were made between the numbers of mice captured by a line of live traps and the numbers captured in intensive live...
Magnetostriction and palæomagnetism of igneous rocks
John W. Graham, A. F. Buddington, James R. Balsley
1959, Nature (183) 1318
IN a recent communication, Stott and Stacey1 report on a “crucial experiment” from which they conclude: “This excellent agreement between the dip and the directions of artificial thermoremanent magnetization of the stressed and unstressed rocks indicates that large systematic errors due to magnetostriction are most improbable in igneous rocks of types...
Some preliminary notes on the ground water in the Columbia River basalt
R. C. Newcomb
1959, Northwest Science (33) 1-18
The Columbia River basalt carries groundwater by percolation, largely along tabular interflow zones of variable permeability and continuity. At various places the water occurs under perched, unconfined, and confined conditions; at some places it occurs under all three conditions at different depths. Both initial and tectonic structural features, such as...
Life history of the sea lamprey of Cayugaf Lake, New York
Roland L. Wigley
1959, Fishery Bulletin of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service 561-617
A life history study of the sea lamprey, Petromyson marinus Linnaeus, in Cayuga Lake, N.Y., was conducted during 1950, 1951, and 1952. One of the major objectives was to obtain biological data concerning this endemic stock of sea lampreys for comparison with the newly established stocks in the Great Lakes....
