The Diclinous Flowers Of Iva Ganthiifolia, Nutt, Clifford H. Farr Jan 1913

The Diclinous Flowers Of Iva Ganthiifolia, Nutt, Clifford H. Farr

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

Relatively few of the Compositae have been studied throughout their whole life history. Most investigations have dealt with the varied expressions of a single structure, such as vascular anatomy, style, etc., in various genera of this family. However valuable such research it cannot replace the more intensive study of a single species. Only by this latter method can the different morphological structures be satisfactorily interpreted and relationships established.

Color Inheritance In The Horse, Edward N. Wentworth Jan 1913

Color Inheritance In The Horse, Edward N. Wentworth

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

While laboratory animals have yielded very nicely to the study of their inheritance of color, the horse still remains a mystery in many of the phases of coat transmission. Hurst and Bunsow have recognized chestnut with the sorrel and liver shades as a true recessive, and Hurst has shown black to be epistatic to this reddish pigment. Bays and browns have been with difficulty separated but have been considered as epistatic to both colors mentioned, while grays and roans seem dominant to the entire series of color. One difficulty which seems to have beset all investigators up to the present …

A Practical Electrical Method Of Measuring The Distance Between Parallel Conducting Planes, With Application To The Question Of The Existence Of Electron Atmospheres, F. C. Brown Jan 1913

A Practical Electrical Method Of Measuring The Distance Between Parallel Conducting Planes, With Application To The Question Of The Existence Of Electron Atmospheres, F. C. Brown

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

In the Philosophical Magazine for August, 1912, Professor R. W. Wood raises the interesting question concerning the existence of conducting atmospheres surrounding metallic surfaces. The necessity for this hypothesis arose from a number of experiments, in which electrical conduction took place between metallic surfaces, when they were separated between 20 and 30 wave lengths of sodium light.

An Experimental Investigation Of The Relation Between The Aperture Of A Telescope And The Quality Of The Image Obtained By It, Fred Vorhies Jan 1913

An Experimental Investigation Of The Relation Between The Aperture Of A Telescope And The Quality Of The Image Obtained By It, Fred Vorhies

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

The subject of telescopic vision was presented to the scientific world a few years ago in a series of articles written by Dr. G. J. Stoney. At that time Dr. Stoney discussed the proposition as applied to the vision of distant planets and drew the conclusion that astronomers were not able to detect certain details upon the planet Mars. Since the appearance of this series of articles a considerable discussion has taken place but no definite conclusions have been drawn.

The Monterey Conifers, Thomas H. Macbride Jan 1913

The Monterey Conifers, Thomas H. Macbride

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

A little peninsula projecting but slightly from the coast of California and forming by its northern front the south shore of the Bay of Monterey has for botany-lovers many attractive features. The little city, named of the Bay, was the first capital of this western commonwealth, long before Sacramento, or San Francisco eve, had a place in the geography of the world. This little town was accordingly the port of entry for all this western coast. To it came traders in slow-sailing ships; to it also came the enthusiastic naturalist still stirred perhaps by the impulse of Linnaeus; Douglas, 1832; …

A Partial List Of The Parasitic Fungi Of Decatur County, Iowa, J. P. Anderson Jan 1913

A Partial List Of The Parasitic Fungi Of Decatur County, Iowa, J. P. Anderson

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

During the years 1897 to 1905 the writer did considerable collecting of botanical material in Decatur County, Iowa. Parasitic fungi were included and the following list is based largely on the material collected at that time. The list is far from complete. There is still some unidentified material on hand, and no special effort was made to have the collection complete originally, as the phanerogams were the special group sought. Specimens of most of the species here enumerated are deposited in the herbarium at Iowa State College. Some of the diseases of economic plants, however, are based on notes and …

The Grasses Of The Unitah Mountains And Adjacent Regions, L. H. Pammel Jan 1913

The Grasses Of The Unitah Mountains And Adjacent Regions, L. H. Pammel

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

This paper contains an account of the grasses found in the Uintah Mountains and the adjacent Wasatch Mountains in Utah. Most of the region has an elevation of over 5,000 feet. The Uintah range contains a large number of snow-capped peaks; the highest about 13,700 feet high. Tributary to the range are two arid basins, the Green River Basin to the north and to the south the Uintah Basin. The region has been visited by Parry, Jones, Watson, Aven Nelson and some other botanists. Dr. Sereno Watson did some extensive work in the region as a member of the exploring …

The Proper Use Of The Geological Name, "Bethany", John L. Tilton Jan 1913

The Proper Use Of The Geological Name, "Bethany", John L. Tilton

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

The proper use of the terms ''Bethany,'' ''Bethany Falls,'' “Winterset" and "Erie" formerly elicited considerable discussion, summarized by Bain in his Guthrie county report. In that report and in the reports on Dallas and Madison Counties the term Bethany applies to the entire Winterset section. In the Decatur County report also Bethany applies to the entire Missouri section found, which is there divided into the following sub-stages.

Preliminary Note On The So-Called "Loess" Of Southwestern Iowa, James Ellis Gow Jan 1913

Preliminary Note On The So-Called "Loess" Of Southwestern Iowa, James Ellis Gow

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

While exploring Adair County in the interest of the Iowa State Geological Survey, the writer made some observations upon the surface soil of that region, which have led him to differ with the conclusions of other geologists who have described the same soil in adjoining counties. This soil has usually been described as Iowan loess, sometimes simply as loess. The long controversy as to the nature and origin of the Mississippi valley loess has left in its trail such apparent confusion as to the precise meaning of the term that it seems almost necessary to define it anew before attempting …

Mounds And Mound Explorations In Northeastern Iowa, Ellison Orr Jan 1913

Mounds And Mound Explorations In Northeastern Iowa, Ellison Orr

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

Prehistoric earthworks are common in Allamakee, Clayton and Winneshiek Counties, in the north eastern corner of Iowa, on the bluff tops and on the terraces of the Mississippi and its tributaries, the Oneota or Little Iowa, and the Turkey. They are always close to the stream along which they occur, none being found in such position that some part of the river cannot be seen from them, none being over a mile from the water and usually very much nearer.

A Case Of Urticaria Factitia Observed In The Coe College Psychological Laboratory, W. S. Newell Jan 1913

A Case Of Urticaria Factitia Observed In The Coe College Psychological Laboratory, W. S. Newell

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

Record of an unusual affection which appeared in experimental work in tactual space. In submitting the following record upon a case of Urticaria, the writer has intentionally observed two restrictions, (1) to leave the technical discussion of the disease in question to medical treatises, (2) to avoid unwarrantable generalization from a single case under observation. While conforming with these limitations, it has seemed that a record of the case, giving such concrete details of the appearance, the progress and the peculiarities of the disease as it was studied in our laboratory, might leave deductions and generalizations to await the discovery …

Phylogeny Of The Araceae, James Ellis Gow Jan 1913

Phylogeny Of The Araceae, James Ellis Gow

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

The study of the Morphology of the Aroids has been almost completely neglected by botanists. This is unfortunate, since the group is, in a sense pivotal. Its anatomical characteristics indicate a relationship with the Naiadaceae and their allies together with a more distant connection, on the one hand with the Screw-pines and Palms, and on the other with the grasses. Points of relationship to the Liliaceae are not lacking, and there are some indications of affinity with the more primitive members of the Dicotyledons. At the same time, the group is by no means a doubtful assemblage, but …

Nitrogen In Rain And Snow: Second Paper, Nicholas Knight Jan 1913

Nitrogen In Rain And Snow: Second Paper, Nicholas Knight

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

In the proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science for 1911, we described a series of experiments to show the amount of nitrogen in rain and snow, which we carried on during the year 1910. The work described in this paper has to do with a series of experiments in the same line during some months of 1911-12. During this period we collected twenty-seven samples altogether, fourteen of which were snow, and thirteen were rain or rain and snow. There were sixty-nine inches of snow and about five inches of rain.

The Rock From Solomon's Quarries, Nicholas Knight Jan 1913

The Rock From Solomon's Quarries, Nicholas Knight

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

A specimen of the rock from Solomon's quarry was lately received by us for analysis. It is the material that served in the construction of Solomon's Temple, a building characterized by Dr. Lyman Abbott as an architectural splendor. The rock is of snowy whiteness, soft when first removed from the quarry, but it soon hardens on exposure to the air. The natives call the rock from this portion of the quarry "The Royal." The quarries extend underneath the city. The rock is soft and quite porous. There is a variety in another portion of the quarry, on a higher level …

The Effect Of Smoke And Gases Upon Vegetation, A. L. Bakke Jan 1913

The Effect Of Smoke And Gases Upon Vegetation, A. L. Bakke

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

The history of an industrial community marks itself into three divisions: (1) the movement from the country into the city, (2) the building up of enterprises or commercial concerns, (3) the conservation of waste products. The movement of the people from the country to the city carries with it a number of problems. Many of these would not be met with in the country.

Segregation Of Fat Factors In Milk Production, F. B. Hills, E. N. Boland Jan 1913

Segregation Of Fat Factors In Milk Production, F. B. Hills, E. N. Boland

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

The need of an investigation into the problem of inheritance of fat in milk, has long been recognized by the practical milk producer and the physiologist. For the former, a solution of the problem would simplify, very markedly, his breeding operations, as well as increase the certainty of his results. For the latter, a knowledge of the fat producing possibilities of the animal genetically would give an index to the physiological limits of fat formation, and its relation to metabolism.

Complete Succession Of Iowan Cretacic Terranes, Charles Keyes Jan 1913

Complete Succession Of Iowan Cretacic Terranes, Charles Keyes

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

For several reasons the section of Cretacic strata in northwestern Iowa is of especial interest. It was in this section, near the mouth of the Big Sioux River, that for the first time in the New World the stratigraphic equivalents of the English Cretacic formations were clearly recognized. In this section true chalk, made up of countless myriads of microscopic organic remains, was first discovered in this country. This section is also a part of the classic locality for the Mid-Cretacic formations of America.

Recognition Of Beds Of Tertiaric Age In Our State, Charles Keyes Jan 1913

Recognition Of Beds Of Tertiaric Age In Our State, Charles Keyes

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

Iowa has been repeatedly and so thoroughly planed off and worked over by continental glaciers of no less than five great ice-invasions that it could be hardly expected that any remnants of the softer pre-glacial formations, if there ever were any deposited within the state's boundaries, would survive. Moreover, the state is now everywhere so deeply covered by the several till-sheets and the vast eolian soil-mantles as to effectually conceal all traces of the existence of pre-glacial deposits which we ordinarily refer to the Tertiaries.
