A Study Of The Structure And Associated Features Of Sheep Mountain Anticline Big Horn County, Wyoming, Gary D. Johnson, Larry J. Garside, Albert J. Warner

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

A study was made of the joint sets developed within two stratigraphic units of significantly different ages in the Sheep Mountain region, Bighorn County, Wyoming, in an attempt to determine if any pre-Laramide orogeny existed in the area. The field methods used and the relationships exhibited between joint sets are discussed. From the data presented, no significant support of the premise is concluded.

Optic Nerve Size In Blind And Normal Mice, Margaret L. Watson, Jean E. Mckinnie, Donald M. Evans

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

Measurements of eyes and optic nerves of blind and normal mice were taken at ages ranging from 1-60 days. The mice used were from a Bagg albino strain in which a dominant mutation for blindness had occurred. The size of the optic nerve appears to be dependent upon the development of the eye. Optic nerves from blind eyes are smaller than those from normal eyes, and optic nerves from blind eyes without a lens and with a folded retina are smaller than those from eyes with a lens, even though the lens is vacuolated and the cornea is thickened.

Inhibition Of Mycelial Growth Of Pythium Graminicolum By Soil Fungi, George Knaphus

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

Cultures of twenty-five selected soil fungi were assayed for fungistatic effects on Pythium graminicolum mycelium. All cultures demonstrated some degree of inhibition. Several were strongly inhibitory. Cultures of six of the more fungistatic fungi were enclosed in dialyzer tubing, and their effects on growing P. graminicolum mycelium observed. All retarded growth markedly.
