Some diseases and parasites of captive woodcocks
L. N. Locke, William H. Stickel, S.A. Geis
1965, Journal of Wildlife Management (29) 156-161
Observations were made concerning the diseases and parasites of a group of woodcocks (Philohela minor) caught in Massachusetts in the summer of 1960 and kept in captivity in Maryland, and of another group caught and kept in Louisiana in the winter of 1960-61. Bumblefoot, a granulomatous swelling of the foot...
Vacuum-jacketed hydrofluoric acid solution calorimeter
R. A. Robie
1965, Review of Scientific Instruments (36) 484-486
A vacuum‐jacketed metal calorimeter for determining heats of solution in aqueous HF was constructed. The reaction vessel was made of copper and was heavily gold plated. The calorimeter has a cooling constant of 0.6 cal‐deg−1‐min−1, approximately ¼ that of the air‐jacketed calorimeters most commonly used with HF. It reaches equilibrium within 10 min after turning off the heater current. Measurements...
Fluorometric study of the beryllium-morin system
M. H. Fletcher
1965, Analytical Chemistry (37) 550-557
Three principal beryllium-morin complexes, a (1 + 1) monomer, a (1 + 1) dimer, and a (1 + 2) complex are found and conditional equilibrium constants for their formation are evaluated. Approximate ionization constants, absorption spectra, and the relative fluorescence intensities for five ionic species of morin are also determined...

Results of woodcock wing collections, 1959 to 1962
F.W. Martin, A. D. Geis, William H. Stickel
1965, Journal of Wildlife Management (29) 121-131
During hunting seasons from 1959 to 1962, age and sex determined from 45,444 wings were used to measure annual productivity of woodcocks (Philohela minor). Age of birds was determined by pattern and color of secondaries and by wear on primaries. Sex was determined by width and length of primaries. Overall...

Field application methods for recovery of the selective lampricide, 3-trifluoromethyl-4-nitrophenol
Thomas J. Billy, Stacy L. Daniels, Lloyd L. Kempe, Alfred M. Beeton
1965, Conference Paper, Proceedings of the 8th Conference on Great Lakes Research
Colorimetric methods are described for the detection of residues of the selective lampricide, 3-trifluoromethyl-4-nitrophenol (TFM), in natural waters and fish tissues. Solvent extraction and anion exchange were used to separate and concentrate the lampricide, and to reduce high background colors which often interfere with the determinations. Data from the Pentwater...
Servo-amplifiers for ion current measurement in mass spectrometry
J. S. Stacey, R.D. Russell, F. Kollar
1965, Journal of Scientific Instruments (42) 390-394
A servo-voltmeter can provide a useful alternative to the d.c. amplifier or vibrating reed electrometer for the accurate measurement of mass spectrometer ion currents, and has some advantages which recommend its use in certain applications. A generalized analysis based on servomechanism theory is presented as an aid for understanding the...
Eocene and miocene rocks off the northeastern coast of the United States
T. G. Gibson
1965, Deep-Sea Research and Oceanographic Abstracts (12)
A grab sample from a depth of 1675 m at a point south of Cape Cod contains early Eocene planktonic Foraminifera and is correlated with the Globorotalia rex zone of Trinidad. The assemblage indicates a depth comparable to that existing today. Regional relations suggest that the Cretaceous and Eocene deposits deepen...
Kink-bands: Shock deformation of biotite resulting from a nuclear explosion
D. Cummings
1965, Science (148) 950-952
Microscopic examination of granodiorite samples from the shock region around a nuclear explosion reveals sharply folded lens-shaped zones (kink-bands) in the mineral biotite. Fifty percent of these zones are oriented approximately 90 degrees to the direction of shock-wave propagation, but other zones are symmetrically concentrated...

Lake trout fin-clipping rates at two national fish hatcheries
Merryll M. Bailey
1965, Progressive Fish-Culturist (27) 169-170
The successful stocking of the hatchery-reared lake trout (Salvelinus namaycush) in Lake Superior has imporved the outlook for rehabilitating stocks reduced to an extremely low level by predation from the sea lamprey (Petromyzon marinus). Marking the fish by fin-clipping to determine growth and survival benefits from holding young-of-the-year lake trout...
Food of lake trout in Lake Superior
William R. Dryer, Leo F. Erkkila, Clifford L. Tetzloff
1965, Transactions of the American Fisheries Society (94) 169-176
Stomachs were examined from 1,492 lake trout and 83 siscowets collected from Lake Superior. Data are given on the food of lake trout of legal size (17 inches or longer) by year, season, and depth of water, and on the relation between food and size among smaller lake trout. Fish...
Eutrophication of the St. Lawrence Great Lakes
Alfred M. Beeton
1965, Limnology and Oceanography (10) 240-254
Lakes Huron, Michigan, and Superior are classified as oligotrophic lakes on the basis of their biological, chemical, and physical characteristics. Lake Ontario, although rich in nutrients, is morphometrically oligotrophic or mesotrophic because of its large area of deep water. Lake Erie, the most productive of the lakes and the shallowest,...
A recent occurrence of thermal stratification and low dissolved oxygen in western Lake Erie
John F. Carr, Vernon C. Applegate, Myrl Keller
1965, Ohio Journal of Science (65) 319-327
Instances of thermal stratification have been detected only occasionally in western Lake Erie during the past 40 years, but when it does occur it is of considerable importance because of associated dissolved oxygen (DO) depletion in the hypolimnion. Data collected in June of 1963 give an indication of the meteorological...

Subdivision of the San Lorenzo Formation (Eocene and Oligocene) west-central California
Earl E. Brabb
1964, American Association of Petroleum Geologists Bulletin (48) 670-679
The San Lorenzo Formation was for many years considered synonymous with Oligocene Series. The formation name was extended, incorrectly in most cases, to rocks as far north as British Columbia and as far south as southern California. The formation in its type area was never adequately studied, resulting in fallacious...

1964, Utah Geological and Mineralogical Survey Water-Resources Bulletin 3-II
During the 1960 and 1961 water years an annual load of about 2 million tons of dissolved minerals was contributed to the Great Salt Lake area by surficial sources. Almost 60 percent of this load was sodium and chloride. Of the six units contributing to the lake area, three -...
