Effect Of Grass On Intake Of Water, F. L. Duley, C. E. Domingo

As has been shown by numerous investigations, many factors affect the rate of intake of water by soils. Among these are the type of soil, character of the rainfall, and the condition of the surface.

The Frost-Moved Rubbles Of Jumbo Dome And Their Significance In The Pleistocene Chronology Of Alaska, Clyde Wahrhaftig

United States Geological Survey: Staff Publications

Jumbo Dome, a prominent landmark on the north side of the Alaska Range, is a small body of intrusive andesite surrounded by schist and by poorly consolidated sediments of Tertiary age. Frost-moved rubbles, consisting of coarse andesite blocks, almost completely mantlethe dome and have advanced outward from it across a gently sloping terrain for distances as much as 1 ¼ miles. Several different periods of rubble development are recognized, based on the amount of vegetal covering of the deposits, the preservation of their surface forms, and their degree of erosion by fluvial processes. The rubbles are not now moving and …

An Additional Trematode From Tortugas, Florida, And A New Name For Opisthoporus Manter, 1947, Preoccupied, Harold W. Manter

Harold W. Manter Laboratory of Parasitology: Library Materials

Professor José M. Ruiz of Sao Paulo, Brazil, has kindly called my attention to the fact that the generic name Opisthoporus Manter, 1947 had been used several times previously, a condition which I had indeed checked but thoughtlessly forgot. For Opisthoporus Manter, 1947 (nec Opisthoporus Benson, 1851; Opisthoporus Minot, 1877; Opisthoporus Fukui, 1929), the name Postporus is proposed. The two species become Postporus epinepheli (Manter, 1947) and Postporus mycteropercae (Manter, 1947).

The combination Pleurogonus candidulus (Linton, 1910) (misspelled "candibulus" in my paper) had been made in 1946 by Ruiz (1946: 295) where, however, it was first printed " …

Effect Of Position Within A Large Storage Bin Upon Midwinter Behavior Of Nebraska Triumph Seed Potatoes, H. O. Werner

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Research Bulletins

Much variation in time of emergence of plants has been observed within lots of Nebraska seed potatoes planted in the South during the winter. In large storage bins in western Nebraska the end of the dormancy period of tubers in various parts of the bin, as determined by the appearance of sprouts, may vary from January to May. It has been surmised that differences in temperatures and perhaps other conditions in various parts of the bin may account for such variations. In the winter of 1941-42 an experiment was conducted to determine the extent to which the position of potatoes …
