A Classification For Forestry Literature, Faculty Of The Yale Forest School

Yale School of the Environment Bulletin Series

The following classification for forestry literature has been prepared by the Faculty of the Yale Forest School for use in its library. It is published to supply the demand for a simple and comprehensive classification that is adapted to any library system. The work was begun about one year ago and included a study of all available data on the subject. A tentative outline was submitted to prominent members of the profession from whom helpful suggestions were received.

The subject has been divided into nine parts of approximately equal importance. The secondary divisions also have been limited to nine and …

Botanical Specimens (Herbarium) By Alice Ford, 1912, Alice Ford

Botanical Specimen Books

This botanical specimen book (herbarium) was collected and curated by Sara Alice Ford in spring 1912 for a Botany I course taught by John M. Holzinger at the Winona Normal School in Winona, Minnesota. These plants were collected in the Witoka area. Sara Alice Ford Einhorn (1983-1992) grew up in the Witoka Area and attended Winona Normal School, graduating in 1912. She taught in the area rural schools (Boynton and Ridgeway) before marrying Clifford Einhorn. They lived in North Minneapolis before moving back to Winona in the 1940s.

Daughter of Kathryn Jeanette Einhorn Anderson who graduated from Winona Teachers' College …

A Comparative Study Of The Structure And Origin Of The Yolk Nucleus, John P. Munson

Biology Faculty Scholarship

The question as to the comparative structure and origin of the yolk nucleus involves several other problems:

1. Is the yolk nucleus a normal element of the egg cytoplasm, or is it associated with pathological states of the egg, or is it an artefact due to reagents?

2. Is there a necessary connection between one form and another such that one can be derived from the other?

3. Is it an amorphous chemical substance or does it possess anything suggesting permanence of structure?

4. Does it arise de novo or is it a modification of something similar existing in the …

The Unexpected Occurrence Of Aleurone Colors In F2 Of A Cross Between Non-Colored Varieties Of Maize, R. A. Emerson

Department of Agronomy and Horticulture: Faculty Publications

Before the Mendelian methods of analysis became available, considerable wonder would doubtless have been excited by the "mysterious" appearance in F₂ of one colored grain-purple or red-to every five or six white ones in case of a maize cross, both parents and F, of which had only white grains. An occurrence of this sort has recently been noted in one of my maize cultures and the F2 numbers are explained here as a trihybrid or tetrahybrid ratio. The crosses in question were made primarily for a study of size inheritance and fairly large numbers have been grown. The varieties …

A Consideration Of The Physiology And Life History Of A Parasitic Botrytis On Pepper And Lettuce, George L. Peltier

Department of Plant Pathology: Faculty Publications

During the autumn of 1911, while gathering the peppers (Capsicum) in the vegetable plat of the Missouri Botanical Garden, the writer observed a fungus which was appearing as a parasite on the fruits. The peduncles were covered with a dark brown mass of conidia and mycelium, which so weakened the tissues that the fruit soon fell to the ground. On opening the peppers a number of large, flat, crust-like sclerotia, 1 cm. long and .5 cm. wide, were found to fill the interior. In most cases the seeds were also covered with the crust-like masses. The conidial stage …

The Present Methods Of Teaching Entomology, J. H. Comstock

Department of Entomology: Faculty Publications

The present methods of teaching entomology followed in the United States have been developed almost entirely by men now teaching this subject. A second generation of teachers has begun its work; but the first is still on the stage. We h3i¥e progressed far enough, however, to make it worth while for the teachers to compare methods, in order that each may profit by the experience of the others. In a conference of this kind the contribution of each to the discussion will be, naturally, at first, merely a statement of the methods evolved in our several widely separated institutions. Then …

Present Methods Of Teaching Entomology At The University Of Nebraska, Lawrence Bruner

Department of Entomology: Faculty Publications

'When our Secretary sent out his preliminary notification of this meeting and asked me to take part in a discussion of "present methods of teaching Entomology," the matter at first seemed of little importance so far, at least, as the speaker was concerned. However, after giving the subject some thought I have decided that it might be well at least to take the time and trouble to attempt to explain briefly a few of the methods by which the student in Nebraska is enabled to absorb some entomological information. In order to do this with an unbiased feeling it might …

Discussion And Correspondence Coupling Vs. Random Segregation, R. A. Emerson

Department of Agronomy and Horticulture: Faculty Publications

To the editor of science: The suggestion offered by Morgan, in SCIENCE of September 22, to account for the coupling and repulsion of factors for various characters in inheritance in such forms as Abraxas, Drosophila, fowls, sweet peas, etc., incites this note.

Briefly Morgan's hypothesis is (1) that the materials representing factors that couple are "near together in a linear series" in the chromosomes; (2) that, when pairs of parental chromosomes conjugate, "like regions stand opposed "; (3) that "homologous chromosomes twist around each other," but that the separation of chromosomes is in a single "plane"; (4) that, thereby the …

Botanical Teaching, Charles E. Bessey

School of Biological Sciences: Faculty Publications

Some months ago a suggestion was made that at this dinner we should ask ourselves the question: Why is it that with the enormous classes we are having in botany there is a marked dearth of properly trained men who can serve as instructors in colleges and universities?

New Elementary Agriculture, Charles E. Bessey, Lawrence Bruner, Goodwin D. Swezey

School of Biological Sciences: Faculty Publications

This is an agricultural nation. The products of the soil are the basis of her industries and her prosperity. The children of our great Commonwealths should be familiar with our crops, our grains and grasses, our flowers and fruits, our trees and shrubs and weeds, our domestic animals and birds and insects. Our children should have a practical knowledge of the management of a farm, of the composition of the soil, and of the adaptability of the farm and its soil for the cultivation of certain plants and the counter effect of such plant growth upon the soil. They should …

New Studies Of The Arrhenuri, Ruth Marshall

School of Biological Sciences: Faculty Publications

Since the publication of "The Arrhenuri of the United States," in 198, the author has been fortunate enough to secure enough more material to justify the publication of a supplementary paper on this large genus of water-mites. This material consists of collections from new localities in the United States, and of additional material from old collecting grounds, together with a few specimens from other countries. The author's own collections were made in Wisconsin and Illinois. A few new places were visited, as the lakes about Milwaukee ; and more extensive collections were made in previously known bodies of water, as …

Organization And Polarity Of Protoplasm, John P. Munson

All Faculty Scholarship for the College of the Sciences

In higher forms of life, we usually concede the presence of an organ specialized for the performance of a function. In these higher forms coordination of organs, which entails a regular sequence in their functions, is readily made out; and it seems a mere platitude to say, of these, that organization determines the functions of the organism. To what extent can functions exist in the absence of organization; does the one precede the other; or have function and organization developed simultaneously, out of matter devoid of both structure and function? In my studies on the cell, I have kept these …

The Inheritance Of Sizes And Shapes In Plants, R. A. Emerson

Department of Agronomy and Horticulture: Faculty Publications

Some years ago Lock reported a cross of a tall race of maize with a shorter race which produced an intermediate height in F₁ and exhibited no segregation in F₂ when crossed back with one of the parents. Castle's results with rabbits are very similar to those of Lock with maize. Castle summarizes his results in part as follows:

A cross between rabbits differing in ear-length produces offspring with ears of intermediate length, varying about the mean of the parental ear-lengths. . . . A study of the offspring of the primary cross-breds shows the blend of the …

Practical Information On The Scolytid Beetles On North American Forests I. Barkbeetles Of The Genus Dendroctonus, Andrew Delmar Hopkins

The Bark Beetles, Fuels, and Fire Bibliography

During the writer's investigations of extensive insect depredations in the forests of West Virginia, from 1890 to 1902, he was forcibly impressed with the importance of the forest-insect problem in connection with any future efforts toward the successful management of the forests of this country, and was thus led to give special attention to the subject. It was soon realized that among the principal groups of insect enemies of forest trees the scolytid bark and wood boring beetles must occupy first rank, both in economic importance and systematic interest. Subsequent investigations in West Virginia, in connection with the work of …

The Arrhenuri Of The United States, Ruth Marshall

School of Biological Sciences: Faculty Publications

The Arrhenuri comprise the largest genus of the Hydrachnidz, and one of the most highly differentiated and widely distributed. The genus is easily recognized by the following characters. The thick chitinous covering of the body is pierced by large pores. A circular furrow on the dorsal side marks off an area which is entirely enclosed in the female, in the male usually open onto the posterior extension of the body. The females are oval in form and much alike ; the males are smaller and vary greatly from each other and from the females. They are characterized by a posterior …

Revision Of The Non-Combed Eyed Siphonaptera, Karl Jordan, Nathaniel Charles Rothschild

Harold W. Manter Laboratory of Parasitology: Library Materials

Introduction (excerpt)

The importance of certain species of fleas in relation to the epidemiology of plague has been so amply demonstrated (see Journal of Hygiene, volumes VI 1906, p. 426, and VII 1907, p. 395) that an explanation appears scarcely necessary for our publishing a paper dealing with a revision of the non-pectinated eyed Siphonaptera. With the demonstration that fleas are capable of transmitting plague, their study at once ceased to be the mere hobby of a small group of entomological specialists. An accurate knowledge of fleas, both with regard to their structure and biology, is at present a …

Embryology And Evolution, Malo Marius Amunson

Manuscript Thesis Collection

The proofs of evolution must be sought in the entire field of science. Direct proof is found in the study of Morphology, whose bases are comparative anatomy; embryology; in the study of paleontology, of geology, of geographical distribution, in the study of nature and experiments of today. In this vast field of direct proofs of evolution it is our purpose to present some of the evidences of evolution as furnished by one of these, namely, Comparative Embryology.
