Some Factors Affecting Fetal Development, John M. Evvard Jan 1913

Some Factors Affecting Fetal Development, John M. Evvard

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

That the nourishment of the mother during the period of gestation should affect the weight, vigor, general relative size, bone and skin (with covering) of the offspring is quite evident from the results of some recent experimental studies made by us. Dr. A.W. Dox and S.C. Guernsey of the Chemical Section arc working upon the chemistry of this problem in co-operation with the writer. Our work is being carried on with both sheep and swine in order that we may get a double set of records upon different species of animals.

The Pollution Of The Underground Waters With Sewage Through Fissures In Rocks, Henry Albert Jan 1913

The Pollution Of The Underground Waters With Sewage Through Fissures In Rocks, Henry Albert

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

The possibility of pollution of underground waters through fissures in rocks has long been a well-established fact. The actual demonstration of such as the source of cases or epidemics of disease in Iowa has until recently not been proved. It is with the idea of reporting an epidemic of typhoid fever due to pollution of this kind and of calling attention to the need of a sanitary water survey in Iowa, that I present this paper.


Late Devonic Sequence Of The Iowa Region (Synopsis), Charles Keyes Jan 1913

Late Devonic Sequence Of The Iowa Region (Synopsis), Charles Keyes

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

The great Devonic limestone succession in Iowa was long treated as if it were a single stratigraphic unit. To it the title Cedar Valley formation was generally attached. This vaguely defined term was suggested by D. D. Owen as early as 1852. Little or no attempt was seemingly ever made to differentiate this hundred-odd feet of limestone.


Food Habits Of The Skunk, Frank C. Pellett Jan 1913

Food Habits Of The Skunk, Frank C. Pellett

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

In observation of the food habits of the birds of prey one can take advantage of the fact that food must be brought to the young in the nest. With the skunk, which is a nocturnal animal, many difficulties present themselves in gathering sufficient information on which to base a conclusion, and it must be confessed in the beginning that the results are rather of a negative than a positive character. Animals in captivity adapt themselves to their environment quickly and form habits which perhaps might not be normal when living under natural conditions. In making the observations on this …


Additional Mammal Notes, T. Van Hyning Jan 1913

Additional Mammal Notes, T. Van Hyning

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

In the proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Sciences for 1910 appears ''a preliminary annotated catalogue of the recent mammals of Iowa,'' by T. VanHyning and Frank C. Pellett. The design in publishing that catalogue was for the purpose of obtaining more complete data for a monograph. It is now very gratifying to add the following notes as the results: The following species were given in that catalogue as only probably occurring in the state.

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 …

On Certain Points In The Anatomy Of Siren Lacertina, H. W. Norris

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

In connection with a study of the distribution of the cranial nerves of Siren, the results of which will be published in the near future, the writer found certain features of the general anatomy that seem worth especial notice.


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.


Notes On The Flora Of Johnson County, Iowa, M. P. Somes Jan 1913

Notes On The Flora Of Johnson County, Iowa, M. P. Somes

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

Johnson County lies in the south eastern quarter of Iowa , its eastern boundary being about forty-five miles from the Mississippi River reckoning from Davenport and owing to the curvature of the river to the westward about eighteen miles from Muscatine. The county has an area of about 618 square miles and the elevation ranges from slightly over six hundred feet in the south eastern corner to nearly eight hundred at Solon.


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.


Notes On The Nebraskan Drift Of The Little Sioux Valley In Cherokee County, J. Ernest Carman Jan 1913

Notes On The Nebraskan Drift Of The Little Sioux Valley In Cherokee County, J. Ernest Carman

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

The work of Professor Shimek, of the Iowa Geological Survey, in western Iowa, has brought to light many exposures of Aftonian gravels and the underlying Nebraskan (pre-Kansan) drift. These exposures extend along practically the entire western border of Iowa.


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 …
