Avian cholera in cedar waxwings in Ohio
L. N. Locke, Richard C. Banks
1972, Journal of Wildlife Diseases (8) 106-106
Avian cholera (Pasteurella multocida infection) was responsible for a localized die-off of cedar waxwings (Bombycilla cedrorum) at Steubenville, Ohio in late June, 1968....
Water-resources reconnaissance of Anaktuvuk Pass, Alaska
Charles E. Sloan
1972, Open-File Report 72-348
A hydrologic reconnaissance was made of Anaktuvuk pass in the central Brooks Range during the summer of 1971 to help develop a water supply for the village school. Winter icings and summer flow conditions in Contact Creek both indicate that ground water is present beneath the creek bed. A well-site...
Sediment transport and deposition, Walnut and Pacheco Creeks, Contra Costa County, California, August 1965-April 1970
George Porterfield
1972, Open-File Report 72-302
Average annual sediment discharge in Pacheco Creek basin, Contra Costa County, Calif., was larger during August 1965-April 1970 than the historical annual sediment discharge (1909-62) by a factor of about 1.3. This increas in sediment discharge is attributed primarily to an increased frequency of peak streamflows and to a larger...

Life history and production of walleyes of the 1959 year-class in western Lake Erie, 1959-62
John W. Parsons
1972, Transactions of the American Fisheries Society (101) 655-661
Because of the near collapse of the fishery for walleyes (Stizostedion vitreum vitreum) in Lake Erie in the late 1950's, walleyes of the 1959 year-class were studied to gain a better understanding of the life history of the species and the dynamics of the population. In the summer of 1959...
Age, growth, reproduction, and food of the burbot, Lota lota (Linnaeus), in southwestern Lake Superior
Merryll M. Bailey
1972, Transactions of the American Fisheries Society (101) 667-674
This study was based on 1,285 burbot (Lota lota) collected in three areas in southwestern Lake Superior in 1966-69. Age was determined from otoliths, the marginal zones of which were opaque from December to May and translucent from June to November. Average lengths of the age groups and annual increments...
Lake Michigan: effects of exploitation, introductions, and eutrophication on the salmonid community
LaRue Wells, Alberton L. McLain
1972, Journal of the Fisheries Research Board of Canada (29) 889-898
Lake Michigan surface area is 22,400 square miles and its main depth is 276 ft. Its fauna is generally typical of North American oligotrophic lakes. The original fish populations included 10 coregonines and one salmonine. The lake whitefish, the lake herring, and the lake trout were most abundant. Man's activities...
Accumulation of dieldrin in an alga (Scenedesmus obliquus), Daphnia magna, and the guppy (Poecilia reticulata)
Robert E. Reinert
1972, Journal of the Fisheries Research Board of Canada (29) 1413-1418
Scenedesmus obliquus, Daphnia magna, and Poecilia reticulata accumulated dieldrin directly from water; average concentration factors (concentration in organism, dry weight, divided by concentration in water) were 1282 for the alga, 13,954 for D. magna, and 49,307 (estimated) for the guppy. The amount accumulated by each species at equilibrium (after about...
Effect of certain anesthetic agents on mallard ducks
D.R. Cline, R. J. Greenwood
1972, Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association (161) 624-633
Four anesthetic agents used in human or veterinary medicine and 3 experimental anesthetic preparations were evaluated for effectiveness in inducing narcosis when administered orally to game-farm mallard ducks (Anas platyrhynchos).Tribromoethanol was the only compound to satisfy criteria of initial tests. Mean duration of the induction, immobilization, and recovery periods was...
Determination of total iodine and iodate in sea water and in various evaporites
M. M. Schnepfe
1972, Analytica Chimica Acta (58) 83-89
Iodine in sea water and evaporites is determined spectrophotometrically as the starch-iodine complex without prior separation or concentration of the iodine. In slightly alkaline solution, iodide is first oxidized to iodate with permanganate. Oxidized states of manganese are destroyed with iron(II) in phosphate medium...
Imogolite and allophane formed in saprolite of basalt on Maui, Hawaii
K. Wada, T. Henmi, N. Yoshinaga, S. H. Patterson
1972, Clays and Clay Minerals (20) 375-380
Inorganic gel and allophane collected from basaltic saprolite on Maul, Hawaii, and studied by Patterson in I964 were reexamined. The main constituent of the gel is imogolite, and gibbsite and allophane are the minor constituents. Electron and X-ray diffraction patterns, DTA curve, and an infrared spectrum of the gel are...
Paleomagnetism of Midway Atoll lavas and northward movement of the Pacific plate

1972, Earth and Planetary Science Letters (17) 159-168
Two deep drill holes through the reef limestones of Midway Atoll penetrated 120 m and 19 m of basaltic lavas that were dated by the KAr method at 18 my. Inclinations of natural remanent magnetization have been measured...
Foreign literature and translations in earth science
Frank T. Manheim
1972, Conference Paper, Toward the development of a geoscience information system : a symposium : proceedings of the Sixth Annual Meeting of the Geoscience Information Society, November 1, 1971, Washington, D.C.
More than 50 percent of the total abstracted geologic literature is in Russian, followed by English at about 30 percent, and French, German, and Japanese from about 8 to 2 percent. Communist Chinese publications ceased as a result of the Cultural Revolution and have not resumed. Less than 2 percent...
Determination of channel capacity of the Mokelumne River downstream from Camanche Dam, San Joaquin and Sacramento Counties, California
R.G. Simpson
1972, Report
This study evaluates the adequacy of a 39-mile reach of the Mokelumne River in San Joaquin and Sacramento Counties, California, to carry planned flood releases between Camanche Reservoir and the Bensons Ferry Bridge near Thornton. The flood releases from Camanche Reservoir are to be restricted, insofar as possible, so that...
