Conservation Of The Prehistoric Remains Of Nebraska, Alvin Leonard Lugn

Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences: Faculty Publications

A RESOLUTION has recently been adopted by both houses of the Nebraska legislature to conserve the scientifically very valuable deposits of fossil and other prehistoric remains which occur in the state. This is not to be construed as an unfriendly move on the part of the sponsors of this act. The Nebraska Geological Survey welcomes serious scientific study and research within the state by all persons and institutions who seriously desire to investigate and collect for purely scientific purposes. There is no intention to restrict or curtail the collection of materials by properly accredited representatives of educational institutions and museums. …

A New Fossil Peccary, Prosthennops Niobrarensis, From Brown County, Nebraska, Edwin H. Colbert

Bulletin of the University of Nebraska State Museum

During the summer of 1929, the writer, accompanied by Mr. Paul O. McGrew of the University of Nebraska, discovered during the course of excavations for fossil vertebrates in northern Brown County, Nebraska, a fairly complete peccary skull referable to the genus Prosthennops. This skull, due to its several unusual characters, as well as to its fair degree of completeness, would seem to warrant a special and a rather detailed description. Consequently the specimen has been kindly turned over to me by Dr. E. H. Barbour, Director of the Nebraska State Museum, not only for the purpose of the present …

This specimen, number 4-28-8-31, the Nebraska State Museum, was found in the Gering formation (lower Miocene), fifteen feet above the Brule, 400 feet west of the road in Redington Gap, near the center of the S. 1/2, sec. 14, T. 19 N., R. 52 W., west of Bridgeport, Morrill County, Nebraska.

Gnathabelodon Thorpei, Gen. Et Sp. Nov. A New Mud-Grubbing Mastodon, Erwin Hinckley Barbour, George F. Sternberg

Bulletin of the University of Nebraska State Museum

In February, 1932, while opening a gravel pit to get material for highway construction, the skull, tusks, and mandible of a new longirostral mastodont were found by Robert Arnold on his ranch, Sec. 24, T. 12 S., R. 22 W., 1 1/2 miles due east of Ogallah, Trego County, western Kansas. This point is located about 20 miles west and three miles north of Hays, the seat of the Fort Hays Kansas State College, in the museum of which the above mentioned specimen is mounted and exhibited. When unexpectedly exposed by Mr. Arnold and his associates, the great skull was …

On The Summability Of A Certain Class Of Series Of Jacobi Polynomials, A. P. Cowgill

Department of Mathematics: Faculty Publications

The result obtained in this paper is as follows:
The series Σnⁱ[((p + 1)(p +3)…(p +2n -1)) ÷(2ⁿn!) X^((p-1)/2)_n (x), where X_n^(p-1)/2(x) (hereafter indicated simply by X_n) is a symmetric Jacobi polynomial p >-1, and i a positive integer, is summable (C, k),k>i—1/2, for the range -1 <x<1.
