Howard W. Oliver
1965, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (46) 218-222
During the past 10 years, personnel of the U. S. Geological Survey have made about 14,000 observations of the Earth's gravity field in California, about 13,000 in Nevada, 3,400 in Oregon, and about 1,000 in the Hawaiian Islands. The total number of stations established in the four states is slightly...
Eclogites and eclogites: Their differences and similarities
R. G. Coleman, Donald E. Lee, L. B. Beatty, W. W. Brannock
1965, GSA Bulletin (76) 483-508
Eclogites are divisible into three groups based on mode of occurrence: Group A, inclusions in kimberlites, basalts, or layers in ultramafic rocks; Group B, bands or lenses within migmatite gneissic terrains; Group C, bands or lenses within alpine-type metamorphic rocks. The compositions range from olivine basalt for Group A to...

Virus diseases of the salmonidae in the western United States. III. Immunopathological aspects
George W. Klontz, William T. Yasutake, T. J. Parisot
1965, Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences (126) 531-542
The immune response among fish, from a phylogenetic standpoint, presents a progressive pattern of increasing development. The cyclostomes have been shown to have only feeble immunologic responsiveness. One of their number, the hagfish, appeared to be totally lacking in the ability to actively acquire antibodies.Among the elasmobranchs, the sharks have...
Adverse effects on birds of Phosphamidon applied to a Montana forest
R. B. Finley Jr.
1965, Journal of Wildlife Management (29) 580-591
A field trial of Phosphamidon applied by aircraft in Montana against spruce budworm (Choristoneura fumiferana) had immediate adverse effects on birds. A 5,000-acre block of forested land was sprayed at the rate of 1 pound per acre. Some birds, including blue grouse (Dendragapus obscurus), were killed by the insecticide. Bird...
Isotopic ages of minerals from granitic rocks of the central Sierra Nevada and Inyo Mountains, California
R. W. Kistler, P. C. Bateman, W. W. Brannock
1965, GSA Bulletin (76)-155
Potassium-argon ages of biotite and hornblende from specimens of 17 granitic plutons in the central Sierra Nevada and the western Inyo Mountains, California, range from 69 to 183 m. y. The Mount Givens, Lamarck. and Round Valley Peak Granodiorites and related younger and more felsic...
Potassium-argon age and paleomagnetism of the Bishop Tuff, California
G. Brent Dalrymple, Allan Cox, Richard R. Doell
1965, GSA Bulletin (76) 665-674
Duplicate potassium-argon age determinations on each of three samples from widely separated localities indicate that the age of the Bishop Tuff, California, is about 0.7 million years. Two of the samples are from the basal ash fall that preceded the ash flow eruptions; one of...
Biota of a late glacial rocky mountain pond
E.G. Kauffman, David S. McCulloch
1965, GSA Bulletin (76) 1203-1232
The sediments of a late glacial sag pond in Huerfano Park, south-central Colorado, have yielded a varied biota consisting of vertebrates, terrestrial and fresh-water mollusks, sponges, and pollen. Wood from the sediments has a radiocarbon age of 9600 ± 200 years. The vertebrate fauna contains the tooth of a prairie...

Investigation of initial Sr87/Sr86 ratios in the Sierra Nevada Plutonic Province
P.M. Hurley, P. C. Bateman, H.W. Fairbairn, W.H. Pinson
1965, GSA Bulletin (76) 165-174
One to three whole-rock samples from each of more than a dozen discrete plutonic intrusions in the east-central Sierra Nevada batholith have been analyzed for Sr87/Sr86 and Rb/Sr ratios to obtain information on initial Sr87 abundances.The initial Sr87/Sr86 ratios in the rock magmas forming this province appear to have been in the range...

An automatic camera device for measuring waterfowl use
Lewis M. Cowardin, J.E. Ashe
1965, Journal of Wildlife Management (29) 636-640
A Yashica Sequelle camera was modified and equipped with a timing device so that it would take pictures automatically at 15-minute intervals. Several of these cameras were used to photograph randomly selected quadrats located in different marsh habitats. The number of birds photographed in the different areas was used as...
Effects of field applications of heptachlor on bobwhite quail and other wild animals
W. Rosene
1965, Journal of Wildlife Management (29) 554-580
A study of the effects of field applications of heptachlor on bobwhite quail (Colinus uirginianus) and other animals was conducted on three similar areas, two in Decatur County, Georgia, and one in Escambia County, Alabama, from February, 1958, to March, 1962. Heptachlor in granules was applied by aircraft on the...
Development and maturation of primary feathers of redhead ducklings
M.G. Smart
1965, Journal of Wildlife Management (29) 533-536
A comparison of the maturation rates of the primaries of redheads (Aythya americana) hatched very early with those hatched very late was made in the 1961 season. Primaries of the early-hatched birds emerged when the birds were 36-38 days old, those of the late-hatched birds when they were 7-10 days...
Chemical characteristics of oceanic basalts and the upper mantle
A.E.J. Engel, Celeste G. Engel, R.G. Havens
1965, Geological Society of America Bulletin (76) 719-734
Tholeiitic basalts (oceanic tholeiites) that form most of the deeply submerged volcanic features in the oceans are characterized by extremely low amounts of Ba, K, P, Pb, Sr, Th, U, and Zr as well as Fe2O3/FeO < 0.2 and Na/K > 10 in unaltered samples. Oceanic tholeiites also have rare earth abundance-distribution patterns and ratios...
The drill‐stem test: The petroleum industry's deep‐well pumping test
J.D. Bredehoeft
1965, Groundwater (3) 31-36
Drill‐stem tests provide the petroleum industry information on three critical properties of subsurface formations —pressure head, permeability, and water chemistry –that the ground‐water hydrologist also seeks in making pumping tests of water wells. As it is increasingly necessary to study the hydraulic and geochemical properties of deep‐lying rocks in order to understand the behavior of ground water,...
Natural controls involved in shallow aquifer contamination
M. Deutsch
1965, Groundwater (3) 37-40
Shallow aquifers, commonly the most important sources of ground water, are also those most susceptible to contamination. The mode of entry of contaminants to shallow aquifers is (1) directly, via wells or secondary openings in consolidated rocks, (2) percolation through the zone of aeration, (3) induced infiltration through the zone of saturation, and (4) interaquifer leakage...

Gamma-ray spectrometer studies of hydro-thermally altered rocks
R.M. Moxham, R.S. Foote, C. M. Bunker
1965, Economic Geology (60) 653-671
The uranium, thorium, and potassium content of hydrothermally altered rocks in the vicinity of several copper and copper-lead-zinc deposits in Arizona was determined by chemical analysis. Potassium in the more intensely altered zones is about twice that in unaltered areas. There is no corresponding increase in thorium, so a higher potassium/thorium ratio also results from...
