Preliminary Notes On The Carboniferous Flora Of Nebraska, Roy V. Pepperberg

Conservation and Survey Division: Faculty and Staff Publications

About the middle of July, 1907, while engaged by the Nebraska City Commercial Club in examining the geology of Nebraska City and vicinity, the writer was called b the farm of Mr. C. B. James to look at a bed of what was supposed to be fire clay. This proved to be a Carboniferous deposit of stratified micaceous sandstone, interstratified with a fine compact shale, both of which are yellow in color and very fragile when wet.

Paleogeographic Maps Of North America, Bailey Willis

United States Geological Survey: Staff Publications

In passing from the Jurassic to the Lower Cretaceous North America underwent but little change along the Atlantic border and throughout the east. It remained a low land and the coastal plain was somewhat more deeply submerged. But on the Pacific coast, on the contrary, there was pronounced movement, particularly in the Coast Range of California. A bold peninsula developed from Oregon south to Santa Barbara and, being eroded, yielded the thick sediments of the Shasta group, which were deposited in marine water east of it, in part.

In Alaska the Shastan sea appears to have invaded the Jurassic land …

The Control, Development And Utilization Of The Missouri River And Its Tributaries, G. E. Condra, H. W. Caldwell, O. V.P. Stout, F. J. Phillips, N. A. Bengtson, George L. Sheldon

Conservation and Survey Division: Faculty and Staff Publications

The speakers at this conference were Professors Condra, Caldwell, Stout, Phillips, Bengtson, and Gov. George L. Sheldon, with Dean Charles E. Bessey presiding. The principal object of the meeting was to make known reliable information in regard to the Missouri river, concerning which there is widespread interest and in some instances a tendency to magnify the future possibilities of the river. This paper is an account of the conference. It gives some of the thoughts that were emphasized at the symposium, reciting the facts as they were given by those who have investigated the respective phases of the theme.

Opening Of The Indian Territory, G. E. Condra

Conservation and Survey Division: Faculty and Staff Publications

The opening of Indian country has continued from Colonial days to the present. Usually it has resulted from force and treaty, the strong dispossessing the weak. As a result, the Red man has, in general, moved frontierward, ahead of industrial waves, remaining for a longer time only on reservations set aside for tribes. The Indian's struggle even on these reserves has been a losing one, resulting largely from war, disease, and the cupidity of whites. History shows that Indian life and Indian institutions have not prevailed against the white man's civilization and commerce. GATHERING THE TRIBES. The Indian Territory and …

The Geological Bibllography Of Nebraska, Erwin H. Barbour, Cassius A. Fisher

Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences: Faculty Publications

Where there is a wide diversity of interests it is necessary for citizens, including farmers, mechanics, merchants, students, and professional men, to make constant reference to. the various authors of the state to learn what has been done and what has been written along the diverse lines of investigation in which they are interested. In response, then, to constant inquiry the following list of papers is prepared, being compiled from every available source. PaleontoIogical papers dealing mainly with the descriptions have not been included in every case. But the list of articles concerning our geography, physiography, stratigraphy, resources, water-supply, etc., …

A New Habitat Of The Black-Throated Rock Swift, Micropus Melanoleucus, Erwin Hinckley Barbour

Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences: Faculty Publications

As curator of the museum, I have just procured for the State University of Nebraska a set of bird-skins prepared during the past summer, among which are five skins that must be of interest to ornithologists. They verify the discovery made by Professor Lawrence Bruner of the University of Nebraska, that the White-throated Rock Swift builds and breeds in the precipitous bluffs around Squaw Canon, Sioux Co., Nebraska, and, what is more likely, throughout the Pine Ridge regions, as Professor Bruner has observed them also at Crow Butte, near Crawford, Nebraska.
