Directory Of Certain Alumni The Department Of Geology And Geography The University Of Nebraska, E. F. Schramm

Bulletin of the University of Nebraska State Museum (1924–2023)

In the Department of Geology and Geography, The University of Nebraska, there have been over 10,000 registrants between the years 1891 and 1926. So many inquiries have been received concerning alumni and their addresses that it seems advisable to publish this directory. The list is necessarily incomplete since many of the alumni have not informed the Department respecting their addresses and change of positions. Out of the total number of those who have pursued professional vocations the following have kept in close touch with the Department.

Archidiskodon Maibeni, Erwin H. Barbour

Bulletin of the University of Nebraska State Museum (1924–2023)

Archidiskodon maibeni was first described in Bulletin 10 of the Nebraska State Museum under the title" Skeletal Parts of the Columbian Mammoth, Elephas Maibeni." * Dr. Henry Fairfield Osborn finds it expedient to found a new genus, Archidiskodon, to include the earlier and more primitive mammoths. Hence the change in the generic name. t'Mammoths and modern elephants have long been grouped together under 'the genus Elephas. Subdividing the genus does not necessarily do away with this convenient and rather familiar old arrangement.

An Approximation To The Least Root Of A Cubic Equation With Application To The Determination Of Units In Pure Cubic Fields, T. A. Pierce

Department of Mathematics: Faculty Publications

Approximation to the Least Root of a Cubic Bernoulli's method of approximating the largest root of an equation
(1) x³ = ax² + bx + c,
with real coefficients, is to use (1) as a scale of relation for the recursion formula A_n = aA_n-1 + bA_n-2 + cA_n-3. Successive A’s are calculated starting from any initial values. Then A_n+i/A_n for increasing values of n approximates that root of (1) which has the greatest absolute value if that root is real. The method here given for …

An American Fossil Giraffe, W. D. Matthew, E. H. Barbour

Bulletin of the University of Nebraska State Museum (1924–2023)

A fragment of the lower jaw of a large fossil mammal with two well-worn teeth was dug up in June 1918, at a depth of 20 feet, while digging a cess pool at Bradshaw, York County, Nebraska. This unique specimen, accessioned 7-7-18, was brought to the Nebraska State Museum by A. Archie Dorsey, and was donated by C. B. Palmet, both of Bradshaw. It undoubtedly occurred in loess, which is thickly as well. as extensively developed in this region. It is a ruminant jaw, the teeth preserved being P4 and m1. The characteristic pattern of the premolar excludes reference to …

Prosthennops Xiphodonticus, Sp. Nov.: A New Fossil Peccary From Nebraska, Erwin H. Barbour

Bulletin of the University of Nebraska State Museum (1924–2023)

During the field season of 1915, while collecting, a mile or two west of Valentine, Cherry County, Nebraska, Messrs. A. C. Whitford and J. B. Burnett secured for the Morrill-Maiben Palaeontological Collections, The Nebraska State Museum, The University of Nebraska, a finely preserved jaw of a small fossil hog, or peccary, belonging to the genus Frosthennops, accessioned No. 85-11-8-15B. & W.

The mandible under consideration was preserved in fine sand and is without blemish save that the condyle and coronoid are wanting. The dentition is perfect. In allusion to the sword-like tusks, which are unduly large, the species name xiphodonticus …

Chapter Five: Agriculture Comes Into Its Own, Robert Crawford

These Fifty Years: A History of the College of Agriculture of the University of Nebraska

IT MAY be said that it took eighteen years to lay the foundation of agricultural instruction and research in Nebraska, and another eighteen years to build on this foundation. The eighteen years beginning about 1890 marked a period of great development for the Industrial College as well as the University itself. A School of Agriculture was early established and in a comparatively few years began to number its students in the hundreds. What the agricultural department of the Industrial College had heretofore lacked in numbers, this secondary school supplied. For the first time, the college farm began to be regarded …

Sand Fulgurites From Nebraska Their Structure And Formative Factors, Abram E. Anderson

Bulletin of the University of Nebraska State Museum (1924–2023)

So much has been written during the past century on the origin, structure and occurrence of fulgurites, or lightning tubes, found in many parts of the world that it would seem as though little remains to be added to the literature on the subject; but the discovery of a considerable number of unusually large and complete specimens in Holt and Stanton Counties, Nebraska, which exhibit remarkable definition of the particular features that have occasioned so much controversy regarding their formative processes, has added an important type to the representatives of this phenomenon and afforded clearer interpretation of the origin of …

Skeletal Parts Of The Columbian Mammoth Elephas Maibeni, Sp. Nov., Erwin Hinckley Barbour

Bulletin of the University of Nebraska State Museum (1924–2023)

The skeletal parts of Elephas columbi are said to be unknown, although teeth, jaws, and skulls are common enough. Columbi is a mammoth of southern adaptation, hence its parts are found from Nebraska southward. Elephas columbi occurs abundantly throughout the State and many examples are preserved in the Nebraska State Museum, as will be seen in an accompanying list.

Tetrabelodon Abell, Sp. Nov., Erwin Hinckley Barbour

Bulletin of the University of Nebraska State Museum (1924–2023)

Brown County, Nebraska, which has been so prolific of long-jawed mastodons, has yielded another form which seems to be new and which may throw light on certain small tusks that occur where Tetrabelodon bones abound. Heretofore, we have considered these to be embryonic, but they show apparent wear, and in other respects they are enigmatic, and at best, atypical. Tetrabelodon tusks proper, however young, are typical, and are obviously tusks in miniature. The tusks in doubt are of varying lengths and about the diameter of one's thumb, but taper backwards, are worn to a bluntly oblique point, and are slightly …

Hackberry Conglomerate A New Nebraska Rock, Erwin Hinckey Barbour

Bulletin of the University of Nebraska State Museum (1924–2023)

In the cabinets of the Nebraska State Museum are several excellent rock specimens, which at first sight pass for pisolite, which they simulate. Scrutiny shows that they are hackberry seeds in sand, cemented by lime and clay into a firm, compact rock. The term hackberry conglomerate seems apropos.
