The accompanying map shows the results of an airborne radioactivity survey along the Gulf of Mexico beach between Sanibel Island and Caladesi Island in Florida. This survey was made May 4, 1953, as part of a cooperative program with the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission. The survey was made with...
Preliminary reconnaissance survey for thorium, uranium, and rare-earth oxides, Bear Lodge Mountains, Crook County, Wyoming
V.R. Wilmarth, Douglas H. Johnson
1953, Trace Elements Investigations 172
An area about 6 miles north of Sundance, in the Bear Lodge Mountains, in Crook County, Wyo., was examined during August 1950 for thorium, uranium, and rare-earth oxides and samples were collected. Uranium is known to occur in fluorite veins and iron-manganese veins and in the igneous rocks of Tertiary age...
Airborne radioactivity survey of parts of Atlantic Ocean beach, Virginia to Florida
R.M. Moxham, R.W. Johnson
1953, Trace Elements Memorandum 644
The accompanying maps show the results of an airborne radioactivity survey along the Atlantic Ocean beach from Cape Henry, Virginia to Cape Fear, North Carolina and from Savannah Bach Georgia to Miami Beach, Florida. The survey was made March 23-24, 1953, as part of a cooperative program with the U.S....
Distribution of coarse- and fire-grained rocks in the Wasatch formation and their relationship to uranium deposits, Powder River Basin, Wyoming
David F. Davidson
1953, Trace Elements Memorandum 676
A brief study of the areal distribution of the various rock types of the Wasatch formation in the Powder River Basin, Wyoming, was made during the summer of 1952. In the south and central parts if the basin, the Wasatch formation appears to contain coarser-grained rocks in contrast to...

Relation of suspended-sediment concentration to channel scour and fill
Luna Bergere Leopold, Thomas Maddock Jr.
1953, Conference Paper, Proceedings of the fifth Hydraulics Conference, June 9-11, 1952, arranged by the Iowa Institute of Hydraulic Research
It is known that during the passage of a flood the channel of an alluvial stream scours and fills with considerable rapidity. Though such changes may be random, it seems more likely that there is a definite pattern of channel change directly related both to discharge and to the sediment...

Movement of parasitic-phase sea lampreys in Lakes Huron and Michigan
Bernard R. Smith, Oliver R. Elliott
1953, Transactions of the American Fisheries Society (82) 123-128
A program of tagging was carrie dout in the waters of northern Lake Huron during the fall and winter of 1951-52 in order to supplement the small amount of information available on movement of sea lampreys during their parasitic phase. A total of 219 parasitic-phase sea lampreys were tagged and...
Ultraviolet spectrophotometric determination of tantalum with pyrogallol
J. I. Dinnin
1953, Analytical Chemistry (25) 1803-1807
In a search for a more rapid method for the determination of tantalum in rocks and minerals, an intensive study was made of the tantalum-pyrogallol reaction recommended by Platanov and Krivoshlikov, and a better modified spectrophotometric procedure is given. The improved method consists in measuring the absorbancy of the tantalum-pyrogallol...

The movement of tagged lake trout in Lake Superior, 1950-52
Paul H. Eschmeyer, Russell Daly, Leo F. Erkkila
1953, Transactions of the American Fisheries Society (82) 68-77
A total of 733 native lake trout was tagged at two widely separated localities in Lake Superior; subsequent recaptures numbered 155 fish (21.1 percent) during the year following marking. In October 1950, 116 large lake trout (average total length, 27.3 inches) were tagged near Keweenaw Point, Michigan. Fifteen...

War on lampreys
James W. Moffett
1953, Philadelphia Enquirer, 23 August 1953 16-17
Vampire-like sea lampreys look somewhat like short sections of garden hose, swim like eels, and live solely on the blood of fishes. Their voracious appetites have been especially harmful to fish in the Great Lakes, and it is there that methods of underwater electrocution are being applied in their...

Analysis of mixed-layer clay mineral structures
W. F. Bradley
1953, Conference Paper, Analytical Chemistry
Among the enormously abundant natural occurrences of clay minerals, many examples are encountered in which no single specific crystallization scheme extends through a single ultimate grain. The characterization of such assemblages becomes an analysis of the distribution of matter within such grains, rather than the simple identification of mineral species....

Technique for the application of a streamer-type fish tag
Leonard S. Joeris
1953, Transactions of the American Fisheries Society (82) 42-47
Principal features of the technique are: attachment of the plastic tag by means of a nylon-thread loop prepared in advance of field work; use of a curved surgical needle with cutting edge and a split eye for application of the tag. The procedures for splitting the needle's eye and for...
The effect of ether anesthesia on fin-clipping rate

As part of an experimental program to learn the effects of stocking lake trout (Salvelinus namaycush) in Lake Superior, 141, 392 fingerlings were marked at the Charlevoix (Michigan) Station of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in October 1952. The adipose fin was removed from all fish, the right pelvic...
A modification in the technique of computing average lengths from the scales of fishes
John Van Oosten
1953, Progressive Fish-Culturist (15) 85-86
In virtually all the studies that employ scales, otollths, or bony structures to obtain the growth history of fishes, it has been the custom to compute lengths for each individual fish and from these data obtain the average growth rates for any particular group. This method involves a considerable amount...
