Reconnaissance for uranium in New Mexico in 1953
Roy L. Griggs
1954, Trace Elements Investigations 419
In the fall of 1953 a reconnaissance search for uranium was made in the Datil area, west-central New Mexico, and in the Cerrillos, Glorieta, and Tecolote districts and the Las Vegas and Colfax Sill areas in north-central and northeastern New Mexico. Traces of radioactive materials were detected at many places...

Uranium occurrences in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, and Hunterdon County, New Jersey
F. A. McKeown, P.W. Choquette, R. C. Baker
1954, Trace Elements Investigations 414
Eleven occurrences of uraniferous argillite in the Lockatong lithofacies and five occurrences of uraniferous sandstone in the Stockton lithofacies, both of Triassic age, are known in Buck County, Pa. and Hunterdon County, N.J. Most of the occurrences were discovered by the Geological Survey, though prospectors found several. The Delaware quarry, Bucks...
Carnotite-bearing sandstone in Cedar Canyon, Slim Buttes, Harding County, South Dakota
James R. Gill, George W. Moore
1954, Trace Elements Investigations 411
Carnotite-bearing sandstone and clay have been found in the Chadron formation of the White River group of Oligocene age in the southern part of the Slim Buttes area, Harding County, S. Dak. Locally the mineralized sandstone contains as much as 0.23 percent uranium. The uranium and vanadium ions are believed...

A chemical-spectrochemical method for the determination of rare earth elements and thorium in cerium minerals
H. J. Rose Jr., K. J. Murata, M. K. Carron
1954, Spectrochimica Acta (6) 161-168
In a combined chemical-spectrochemical procedure for quantitatively determining rare earth elements in cerium minerals, cerium is determined volumetrically, a total rare earths plus thoria precipitate is separated chemically, the ceria content of the precipitate is raised to 80·0 percent by adding pure ceria, and the resulting mixture is analyzed for...
Geochemical work of the Geochemistry and Petrology Branch U.S. Geological Survey
E. Ingerson
1954, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (5) 20-39
The current geochemical work of the Geochemistry and Petrology Branch of the U.S. Geological Survey is outlined under the headings of geochemical compilations, laboratory projects, and field-laboratory projects. Some thirty-seven active projects are described. Six others are mentioned which are planned for the near future. The importance and value of...

A review is made of the progress in research on bacteria which are pathogenic to fish, with particular emphasis on those investigations performed during the past decade. The report includes a critical review of material published; the comments and suggestions are designed to stimulate the initiation of new research projects....
The flood control controversy: Big dams, little dams, and land management
Luna Bergere Leopold, Thomas Maddock Jr.
1954, Book
The purpose of this book is to investigate the facts regarding flood control, a subject that has given rise to extreme controversy in the United States in recent years. The question of flood control is obviously a vital one not only to the United States but to many other countries....
Stability of dilute solutions of uranium, lead, and thorium ions
R.G. Milkey
1954, Analytical Chemistry (26) 1800-1803
Standard solutions and samples containing a few micrograms of metallic ions per milliliter are frequently used in determination of trace elements. It is important to know whether the concentrations of such solutions remain constant from day to day. The stability of dilute solutions of three metallic ions-uranium, lead, and thorium-has...

The structures of continental plates and of oceanic basins suggested by several seismologists are utilized to estimate the relative volumes of sial and sima in the earth's crust. It seems that sial of the composition of the average igneous rock constitutes fully 26% and perhaps as much as 43% of...
Studies of river morphology
Luna Bergere Leopold
1954, Science (119) 326-327
A number of generalizations concerning the behavior and natural characteristics of river channels have been developed by the U.S. Geological Survey in several recently completed studies of river morphology. Measurements of parameters such as the discharge, suspended load, bed material, velocity of flow, channel slope, and channel shape indicate that...

Spectrophotometric determination of uric acid and some redeterminations of its solubility
D. R. Norton, M. A. Plunkett, F. A. Richards
1954, Analytical Chemistry (26) 454-457
The present study was initiated in order to develop a rapid and accurate method for the determination of uric acid in fresh, brackish, and sea water. It was found that the spectrophotometric determination of uric acid based upon its reaction with arsenophosphotungstic acid reagent in the presence of cyanide ion...
Fluctuations in production and abundance of commercial species in the Red Lakes, Minnesota, with special reference to changes in the walleye population
Lloyd L. Smith Jr., Laurits W. Krefting
1954, Transactions of the American Fisheries Society (83) 131-160
The Red Lakes in northwestern Minnesota comprise 275,000 acres of water which support a commercial fishery producing up to 1.5 million pounds of fish per year. Walleye, Stizostedion vitreum vitreum (Mitchill), and yellow perch, Perca flavescens (Mitchill), are the principal species. Statistics for the past 37 years have been analyzed...
