The alewife
Stanford H. Smith
1968, Limnos (1) 12-20
When the first alewife, Alosa pseudoharengus, was discovered in Lake Michigan near South Manitou Island on May 5, 1949, few people would have guessed that it would become the best known fish of the lake in less than two decades. Now it competes only with the coho salmon in...
A preliminary report of a recently discovered aquifer at Sioux Falls, South Dakota
Kenneth D. Vaughan, Earl A. Ackroyd
1968, South Dakota Academy of Science Proceedings (47) 68-74
A hydrologic study of the Big Sioux aquifer system was begun July 1, 1966, by the U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the City of Sioux Falls and the East Dakota Conservancy Sub-District. Test drilling being done in the search for a southern outlet to the Big Sioux aquifer has...
Two hermaphroditic alewives from Lake Michigan
Thomas A. Edsall, Margaret I. Saxon
1968, Copeia (1968) 406-407
Hermaphroditism has been reported frequently among many of the Clupeidae, but only one account of hermaphroditism has been published for the alewife, Alosa pseudoharengus. Rothschild discovered four hermaphroditic alewives among 444 fish he examined from Cayuga Lake, New York. We recently collected two hermaphroditic alewives from Lake Michigan....
An electric beam trawl for the capture of larval lampreys
Alberton McLain, Frederick H. Dahl
1968, Transactions of the American Fisheries Society (97) 289-293
The chemicals used to control the sea lamprey, Petromyzon marinus, in the Great Lakes have drastically reduced populations of larval lampreys in tributary streams. These larvicides are too costly and difficult to apply, however, in inland lakes, estuaries, and bays. Populations of sea lampreys in these areas constitute...
Growth changes of the bloater (Coregonus hoyi) of the Apostle Islands region of Lake Superior
William R. Dryer, Joseph Beil
1968, Transactions of the American Fisheries Society (97) 146-158
Studies were based primarily on 3,097 bloaters collected in experimental gill nets and bottom trawls fished in 1958-65 in the Apostle Islands region of Lake Superior. The average size of bloaters increased considerably during the period. The percentage longer than 8.9 inches increased from 45% in 1959 to 99% in...
Rehabilitation of lake trout in the Apostle Islands region of Lake Superior
William R. Dryer, George R. King
1968, Journal of the Fisheries Research Board of Canada (25) 1377-1403
Marked success of rehabilitation of lake trout in Lake Superior has been due principally to the control of the sea lamprey and closure of the lake trout fishery in 1962 and large-scale plantings of yearling lake trout in 1959-66. After the sea lamprey became established in the late 1940s, spawning...
Distribution and abundance of the Japanese snail, Viviparus japonicus, and associated macrobenthos in Sandusky Bay, Ohio
David R. Wolfert, Jarl K. Hiltunen
1968, Ohio Journal of Science (68) 32-40
A survey of the macrobenthos of Sandusky Bay, Lake Erie, in June, 1963, provided information on the abundance and distribution of the introduced Japanese snail, Viviparus japonicus, which has become a nuisance to commercial seine fishermen. The abundance and distribution varied considerably within the bay; at the time of the...
A distinction between bedrock and unconsolidated deposits on 3-5u infrared imagery of the Yellowstone rhyolite plateau
Robert L. Christiansen
1968, Open-File Report 68-34
Infrared imagery covering most of Yellowstone National Park was obtained in August 1966, by H. R. B. Singer Company, using the Reconofax IV system in an aircraft flying at about 20,000 feet. This imagery has been examined in order to evaluate the geologic information it contains in relation to a...
Chemical potential of water from measurements of optic axial angle of zeolites
Eberlein G. Donald, C. L. Christ
1968, Science (162) 1145-1146
Values of the uncorrected optic axial angle (2Hα) of a crystal of the calcium zeolite stellerite (CaAl2Si7Ol8 · 7H20) immersed in calcium chloride solutions...

Average quantitative spectrographic data are presented for V, Ti, Zr, Ni, Co, Sc, Cr and La in the following Pacific deep-sea cores: siliceous ooze (3), red clay (6), volcanic mud (3), calcareous ooze (3) and one manganese nodule, and in 23 near-shore cores,...

Effects of lamprey larvicides on invertebrates in streams
Richard L. Torblaa
1968, Special Scientific Report - Fisheries 572
This study was conducted on five streams tributary to Lake Superior and four tributary to Lake Michigan. Samples of the bottom fauna before and after chemical treatment revealed that most groups of aquatic organisms were not adversely affected by exposure to larvicides. The total number of invertebrates was smaller 1...

Basalts dredged from the Amirante ridge, western Indian ocean
R.L. Fisher, C.G. Engel, T.W.C. Hilde
1968, Deep-Sea Research and Oceanographic Abstracts (15) 521-534
Oceanic tholeiitic basalts were dredged from 2500 to 3000 m depth on each flank of the Amirante Ridge, 1200 km southeast of Somalia in the western Indian Ocean, by R.V. Argo in 1964. One sample, probably shed from a flow or dike in basement beneath the coralline cap, gave a wholerock...
Alaska Railroad Terminal Reserve, Anchorage, soil-stability study: Stability in the vicinity of boring lines 1 and 2

This report has been prepared in response to a request dated April 22, 1966, from the General Manager of The Alaska Railroad to the Director, U.S. Geological Survey, for an evaluation of the propriety of continued industrial expansion on land contained within The Alaska Railroad Terminal Reserve and nearby. It...

Activity product constant of cryolite at 25°C and one atmosphere using selective-ion electrodes to estimate sodium and fluoride activities
C. E. Roberson, J.D. Hem
1968, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (32) 1343-1351
The activity product constant of cryolite (Na3AlF6) at 25°C and 1 atm total pressure was calculated from data for solutions from which synthetic cryolite or mixtures of cryolite and a solid apparently related to ralstonite had precipitated. The activities of fluoride and of sodium were estimated using specific ion...

Species succession and fishery exploitation in the Great Lakes
Stanford H. Smith
1968, Journal of the Fisheries Research Board of Canada (25) 667-693
The species composition of fish in the Great Lakes has undergone continual change since the earliest records. Some changes were caused by enrichment of the environment, but others primarily by an intensive and selective fishery for certain species. Major changes related to the fishery were less frequent before the late...
Pre-gilbertian conceptions of terrestrial magnetism
P.J. Smith
1968, Tectonophysics (6) 499-510
It is now well known that William Gilbert, in his De Magnete of 1600, first suggested that the earth behaves as a great magnet. By their very nature, however, such explicit statements tend, in retrospect, to be emphasised at the expense of less explicit antecedent ideas and experiments, with the result that,...
Isotope studies of dolomite formation under sedimentary conditions
R.N. Clayton, B.F. Jones
1968, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (32)
Measurements of stable isotope abundances of the carbonate portion of the sediment in Deep Springs Lake, California, indicate the presence of at least three phases: a magnesian calcite, a primary sedimentary dolomite, and a detrital dolomite. The former two have isotopic compositions consistent with precipitation at isotopic equilibrium from waters...
