The physical behavior and geologic control of radon in mountain streams
Allen S. Rogers
1956, Trace Elements Investigations 619
Radon measurement were made in several small, turbulent mountain streams in the Wasatch Mountains near Salt Lake City and Ogden, Utah, to determine the relationship between the distribution of radon and its geologic environment. In this area, the distribution of radon in streams can be sued to locate points where relatively...

Geology and ore deposits of the Chicago Creek area, Clear Creek County, Colorado
J. E. Harrison, J. D. Wells
1956, Trace Elements Investigations 432
The Chicago Creek area, Clear Creek County, Colo., forms part of the Front Range mineral belt, which is a northeast-trending belt of coextensive porphyry intrusive rocks and hydrothermal veins of Tertiary age. More than $4.5 million worth of gold, silver, copper, lead, zinc, and uranium was produced from the mines...
Preliminary study of radioactive limonite localities in Colorado, Utah, and Wyoming
T.G. Lovering, E.P. Beroni
1956, Trace Elements Investigations 427
Nine radioactive limonite localities of different types were sampled during the spring and fall of 1953 in an effort to establish criteria for differentiating limonite outcrops associated with uranium or thorium deposits from limonite outcrops not associated with such deposits. The samples were analyzed for uranium and thorium by standard...
Ground water in northeastern Louisville, Kentucky with reference to induced infiltration
M. I. Rorabaugh
1956, Water Supply Paper 1360-B
In cooperation with the city of Louisville, Ky., the U. S. Geological Survey made a detailed investigation during the period February 1945 to March 1947 of the ground-water resources of a 3-square-mile area along the Ohio River north-east of Louisville. Test drilling shows that the principal aquifer consists of about...
Ground-water geology of the coastal zone, Long Beach-Santa Ana area, California
J. F. Poland, A. M. Piper
1956, Water Supply Paper 1109
This paper is the first chapter of a comprehensive report on the ground-water features in the southern part of the coastal plain in Los Angeles and Orange Counties, Calif., with special reference to the effectiveness of the so-called coastal barrier--the Newport-Inglewood structural zone--in restraining landwar,-1 movement of saline water. The...

In the year 1534 when Cabeza de Vaca escaped from the aborigines of southern Texas by whom he had been enslaved for six years, he made his way on foot from the vicinity of Galveston to the west coast of Mexico. Although his Relación was not printed until 1542, the...
Life history of lake herring of Green Bay, Lake Michigan
Stanford H. Smith
1956, Fishery Bulletin (109) 87-138
Although the lake herring has been an important contributor to the commercial fish production of Green Bay, little has been known about it. This study is based on field observations and data from about 6,500 lake herring collected over the period 1948 to 1952. Relatively nonselective commercial pound nets...
Status of sea lamprey control
James W. Moffett
1956, Wisconsin Conservation Bulletin (21) 14-17
Four experiments involving 873 bob-white quail (Colinus virginianus) chicks were conducted at the Patuxent Research Refuge, Laurel, Maryland. A comparison was made of calcium: phosphorus ratios of 1:1, 15:1, 1%: 1, 2:1, 2+:1,and 2%: 1in diets with phosphorus levels of 0.52, 0.75, 1.00, and 1.25 percent. The results indicate that...

Experimental induction of blue-sac disease
K. Wolf
1956, Transactions of the American Fisheries Society (86) 61-70
Blue‐sac disease, an abnormal condition of sac fry, has been recognized for nearly 90 years. At least 23 postulated causes have been advanced, but reports of consistently reproducible results have not been found in literature. Methods whereby blue‐sac disease was induced at will are described. Closed‐system incubation, whereby metabolic wastes...
Aromatic fluorine compounds. VII. Replacement of aromatic -Cl and -NO2 groups by -F
G. C. Finger, C.W. Kruse
1956, Journal of the American Chemical Society (78) 6034-6037
Replacement of -Cl by -F in aryl chlorides with potassium fluoride has been extended from 2,4-dinitrochlorobenzene to less activated halides by the use of non-aqueous solvents, especially dimethylformamide (DMF) and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). Also replacement of -NO2 by -F in substituted nitrobenzenes was studied in DMF. As a direct result...
Preliminary report on the geology and deposits of monazite, thorite, and niobium-bearing rutile of the Mineral Hill district, Lemhi County, Idaho
Edward Peck Kaiser
1956, Open-File Report 56-69
Deposits of minerals containing niobium (columbium), thorium, and rare earths occur in the Mineral Hill district, 30 miles northwest of Salmon, Lemhi County, Idaho. Monazite, thorite, allanite, and niobium-bearing rutile form deposits in metamorphic limestone layers less than 8 feet thick. The known deposits are small, irregular, and typically located...

Histopathology of kidney disease in fish
E. M. Wood, W. T. Yasutake
1956, American Journal of Pathology (32) 591-603
Kidney disease is one of the most puzzling fish diseases known to exist in the United States. In less than Io years it has invaded the Pacific Northwest, exacting a heavy toll of hatchery salmon. Its first appearance apparently was in Massachusetts where Belding and Merrill' described a disease similar...

When the vegetal cover is removed from a land surface, the rate of removal of the soil material, at least initially, increases rapidly. So well known is this principle that it hardly needs restatement.If attention is focused on any individual drainage basin in its natural state, large or small, and...
