Chronic oral DDT toxicity in juvenile coho and chinook salmon
Donald R. Buhler, Mary E. Rasmusson, W.E. Shanks
1969, Toxicology and Applied Pharmacology (14) 535-555
Technical and p,p′-DDT was incorporated into test diets and fed to juvenile chinook and coho salmon for periods as long as 95 days. Pure p,p′-DDT was slightly more toxic to young salmon than was the technical DDT mixture. Chinook salmon appeared to be 2–3 times more sensitive to a given concentration of...
Glaciers and water supply
Mark Frederick Meier
1969, Journal American Water Works Association (61) 8-12
Glaciers are one of the few large sources of water supply that remain unexploited. With the advance of civilization into the subpolar regions, a better understanding of glacier hydrology becomes increasingly important....
Selective feeding by juvenile diving ducks in summer
James C. Bartonek, J.J. Hickey
1969, The Auk (86) 443-457
Waterfowl often fail to use foods that seem plentiful to the investigator. The extent to which selective feeding or rejection of foods is a function of behavioral and morphological adaptations of the species, conditioned behavior of the individual, or individual preference for certain foods has not been appraised. The objectives...
Mallard hatching from an egg cracked by freezing
Raymond J. Greenwood
1969, The Auk (86) 752-754
The eggs of early-nesting waterfowl in North Dakota are frequently exposed to subfreezing temperatures. Mallards (Anas platyrhynchos) and Pintail (Anas acuta), normally the first ducks to arrive in the spring, begin limited early nesting in min-April. Nighttime temperatures during this period frequently drop below freezing, and late spring blizzards are...
Environmental impact of the Big Cypress Swamp jetport
U.S. Department of the Interior
1969, Report
Development of the proposed jetport and its attendant facilities will lead to land drainage and development for agriculture, industry, housing, transportation, and services in the Big Cypress Swamp which will inexorably destroy the south Florida ecosystem and this the Everglades National Park....
Surface area of vermiculite with nitrogen and carbon dioxide as adsorbates
Josephus Thomas Jr., Bruce Forbes Bohor
1969, Clays and Clay Minerals (17) 205-209
Surface-area studies were made on several homoionic vermiculites with both nitrogen and carbon dioxide as adsorbates. These studies show that only very slight penetration occurs between individual vermiculite platelets. This is in contrast to an earlier investigation of montmorillonite where it was found that the degree of penetration between layers...

Devonian laterite in Chitral state, West Pakistan
Karl W. Stauffer
1969, Economic Geology (64) 452-454
A Devonian laterite has recently been discovered near Reshun in the Mastuj valley of Chitral State, West Pakistan. It is believed to be the fourth recorded Paleozoic laterite in the world. The laterite is entirely within a thick carbonate of the Shogram Formation of Upper Devonian (Frasnian) age. A chemical...

Compilation of hydrologic data, Green Creek, Brazos River basin, Texas, 1966
Trigg Twichell
1969, Report
In 1950 the U. S. Soil Conservation Service began construction of floodwater-retarding structures in Texas under authorities granted by the Congress. These authorities provide, where economically feasible, that the program be applied to tributary watersheds of 240,000 acres or less. The usual practice has been to control flood runoff from...
Compilation of hydrologic data, Honey Creek, Trinity River Basin, Texas, 1967

1969, Report
The U.S. Soil Conservation Service is actively engaged in the installation of flood and soil erosion reducing measures in Texas under the authority of "The Flood Control Act of 1936 and 1944" and "Watershed Protection and Flood Prevention Act" (Public Law 566), as amended. The Soil Conservation Service has found...

The circle creek rhyolite, a volcanic complex in northern Elko county, Nevada
Robert Coats
1968, Book chapter, Studies in Volcanology
The Circle Creek Rhyolite is a multiple-source mass of fayalite-ferro-augite rhyolite, forming an extensive complex in northern Elko County, Nevada, with a diameter of about 8 miles and an exposed area of about 36 square miles. From the structure of the flow layering and the complex sequence of microbrecciation structures,...
Dissolved-mineral inflow to Great Salt Lake and chemical characteristics of the salt lake brine: Summary for water years 1960, 1961, and 1964
D. C. Hahl
1968, Utah Geological and Mineralogical Survey Water-Resources Bulletin 10
The investigation of dissolved-mineral inflow to Great Salt Lake during the water years 1960, 1961, and 1964 was conducted during conditions of streamflow that were representative of the lowest and the average recorded during the water years 1934-64. The study conducted during the 1960 and 1961 water years was limited...
