The Distribution Of Forest Trees In Iowa, B. Shimek

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

The discussion of the origin of our prairies, and of the distribution of our native forest trees, is as old as our knowledge of the central northwest. The earlier discussions were based on a knowledge of conditions as they existed when the white man first appeared in this section, and, though some of them are crude, and based upon insufficient observation, they fortunately give us at least a partial record of those conditions.

Proceedings Of The Fourteenth Annual Session Of The Iowa Academy Of Sciences: Staff & Committee Reports, H. Foster Bain

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

The fourteenth annual session of the Iowa Academy of Sciences was held in the state horticultural rooms at the capitol building in Des Moines, December 26, 27 and 28, 1899. In business sessions the following matters of general interest were passed upon.

Presidential Address - Some Features Of The Science Of A Hundred Years Ago, W. S. Hendrixson

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

In the past three or four years the popular magazines have contained numerous articles on the progress of science in the nineteenth century. These papers were written for popular information and they deal with only a few great discoveries with which all men of science are familiar. It occurred to the writer that for the entertainment and information of the man of science, who is acquainted with the main facts and theories of every science as it is to-day, and who, though not acquainted with its minute details, is at least aware of its great mass of facts, its intricate …

The New School Of Animal Psychology, C. C. Nutting

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

The title of this paper is in one sense a misnomer, from the fact that the prophets of the new school are inclined to deny any real psychology to animals. According to Morgan, mind is the wave of consciousness in its continuity. Thorndyke says that "The mental stream is not continuous in animals," If this is true, animals cannot be said to have minds, and hence animal psychology cannot exist.

An Abnormal Fermentation Of Bread, C. H. Eckles

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

During the past summer my attention was called to a peculiar abnormal condition which the bread baked in the house underwent a few days after baking. About the same time complaints were made by a number of residents of the town regarding the same trouble. A number of inquiries were also noticed in the magazines, devoted to the household, indicating the trouble was present in other localities. Inquiry among neighboring housekeepers showed that while most of them had never heard of such a trouble with bread, a number of them had seen the condition or known of someone who had …

Additions To Lichen Distribution In The Mississippi Valley, Bruce Fink

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

During the last few years I have examined a large number of lichens from various parts of the Mississippi Valley, and a few of these have never been recorded from the states in which they were collected, either in my own papers, or, so far as I know, in other publications. In a paper read before the botanical section of the A.A.A.S. at the Columbus meeting I made mention of some of these plants, but several are of special interest because rare or difficult to detect, and I have thought it worthwhile to record all for distribution. Aside from a …

Additions To The Bibliography Of North American Lichens, Bruce Fink

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

While reading in the botanical library of the University of Minnesota during the summer of 1896, I noticed a number of titles which had escaped Mr. W. W. Calkins, while preparing his bibliography of North American lichens. These I added to some before noted in my own library and began a careful search which extended through the summers of 1897 and 1898; examining also the general library of the University of Minnesota.

Observations On The Geology Of Steamboat Springs, Colorado, F. M. Witter

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

In the year 1873, a division of geologists under the management of Dr. F. V. Hayden, made a survey of the region from Willow Creek Pass, between North and Middle Parks, across the park range down the Yuma or Bear River to the White River, around to Eagle River and up the Grand, of which Willow Creek, in Middle Park, is a tributary. In this report, very brief mention is made of Steamboat Springs, although the trail on their map does not pass nearer than twenty-five or thirty miles to the Springs.

The Color Of Deep-Sea Animals, C. C. Nutting

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

The purpose of this paper is to explain the phenomena of bright colors among marine animals living in the sea beyond the depths to which sunlight can be supposed to penetrate to such an extent as to render bright colors visible. Although there are doubtless actinic effects of sunlight at considerable depths, we are safe, I think, in saying that colors cannot be clearly distinguished at a depth greater than 100 fathoms. Photographic experiments show that the "extreme limit of effect of the sun's rays on sensitive plates is at a depth of 250 metres,” or less than 125 fathoms. …

Some Physical Aspects Of General Geological Correlation, Charles R. Keyes

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

The main object of the present communication is to formulate, briefly, certain results which have been obtained in the course of recent attempts to parallel some of the geological terranes in the Mississippi Valley. The suggestions they offer appear to have a much more than local bearing, and to affect the stratigraphy of the entire region. They also have an important influence upon the whole problem of general correlation and, perhaps, also, even upon our present system of geological classification.

Permian Rocks Of Eastern Russia, Charles R. Keyes

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

In this country the Permian question has long troubled our geologists. For more than forty years it has been discussed, and up to the present time little advancement appears to have been made. Recently, interest has been awakened in the subject, and many workers have begun to attack the problems anew.

The Distribution Of Loess Fossils, B. Shimek

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

It has perhaps been noted that the loess mollusks thus far reported in the literature of the subject are, for the most part, from localities in close proximity to larger streams. This fact may have suggested the thought to those unfamiliar with the modern habits and present distribution of these mollusks that the adjacent streams had in some way something to do with the entombing of the shells now found in the loess. That the loess is most richly fossiliferous near streams is generally, though not always, true. The abundance of fossils is a decidedly variable quantity. There are exposures …

The President's Address, Thomas H. Macbride

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

When, a short time ago, I was advised by our indefatigable secretary that by virtue of having been chosen vice-president of this body, the duty of making the presidential address fell to my share, I was somewhat disconcerted. I was at first inclined to push my honors from me and to say that inasmuch as no time remained for the preparation of a suitable discourse, the presiding officer would simply waive his prerogative in that particular and pass to the next order of business.
