The Myxomycetes Of The Black Hills, Thomas H. Macbride

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

The species listed here were collected during the month of August, 1897, and represent the rather hasty gathering of a traveler who could not remain long enough at one place to do thorough work. The number of species ought to be extended to three times that here offered, and probably will be ere many seasons pass.

Additions To The List Of Hemiptera Of Iowa, With Descriptions Of New Species, Herbert Osborn

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

A number of additions to the Hemipterous fauna of the state have been made during the last year, either by collection or by the determination or description of specimens previously in hand, and although there are certainly many others to add it seems desirable to record such as have come to notice. In many cases the record greatly extends the range of the species as heretofore known.

Some Preglacial Soils, J. A. Udden

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

In the region south of the Wisconsin Driftless area an old soil is occasionally found under the Kansan drift, generally resting on the bed rock, and often associated with laminated water-bedded clay and other silt. It is exposed under a bluff of drift in the southern part of Muscatine, Iowa. The material is here dark brown in color, mottled with small black fragments of vegetable tissue. The upper part is a dark mucky clay. The whole bed is only two or three inches in thickness. It lies below what appears to be pre-Kansan drift.

The Drift Section And The Glacial Striae In The Vicinity Of Lamoni, Iowa, T. J. Fitzpatrick

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

Workmen digging a well at the elevator during April, 1896, came to a forest bed at a depth of eighty-five feet below the surface. Quite a number of pieces of wood were removed, one being a branched log, eight inches in diameter and five or six feet in length. Three pieces were secured by the writer and microscopic sections made of the wood revealed the border pits, characteristic of conifers. The materials passed through above the forest bed were composed of yellowish and blue clay charged with usually small pebbles. A 425-foot well drilled by the city, two blocks north …

Proceedings Of The Twelfth Annual Session Of The Iowa Academy Of Sciences: Staff & Committee Reports, A. C. Page, M. F. Arey, S. Calvin

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

The twelfth annual session of the Iowa Academy of Sciences was held in the geological rooms at the capitol building in Des Moines, December 28 and 29, 1897. In business sessions the following matters of general interest were passed upon.

Remarks On The Loess, F. W. Sardeson

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

The speaker commented on the common discrepancies in the use of the name "loess," which are due to the different theories held by scientists as to the origin of the geologic formations called loess. He denied having any immediate intention of trying to solve the question of origin of the deposits called loess in Iowa and neighboring states, but commended the problem to the Iowa geological survey as the strongest agent for the needed solution.

The Flora Of The Sioux Quartzite In Iowa. Ii., B. Shimek

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

A further study of the flora of this restricted exposure during the third and fourth weeks of last June offered certain suggestions upon geographical distribution which are here briefly presented.

Geographic Development Of The Crimea, Charles R. Keyes

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

A year ago I attempted to emphasize the importance of having definite and absolute datum-planes for purposes of exact geological correlation, and I endeavored to show that stratigraphic unconformities have a far greater significance than is usually ascribed to them, especially when viewed in the light of modern physiographic principles. The latter not only imply the recognition of peneplains, or stages of approximate base-level of the land surface, but also in the sea areas the equivalent representatives in certain deposited materials. The cause inducing the new cycle of deposition being the same as that which produces mountains, the method of …

Some Geological Formations Of The Cap-Au-Gres Uplift, Charles R. Keyes

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

Cap au Gres is a name that was given by the early French voyageurs to a prominent sandstone headland rising from the east side of the Mississippi River a dozen miles above the mouth of the Illinois. The point is of special interest geologically on account of having, side by side, beds of the earliest and latest Paleozoic. The sandstone is Cambrian in age and the contiguous limestone middle Carboniferous. The cliff marks the position of the most profound dislocation, or fault, known in the Mississippi Valley. Near the line of the slip the horizontal strata are abruptly bent upward …

Is The Loess Of Aqueous Origin?, B. Shimek

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

Organic remains furnish the best criterion for the measure of conditions which prevailed during any given age of the earth's geological history, provided, of course, that their relation to the deposit can be clearly shown.

The Weathered Zone (Yarmouth) Between The Illinoian And Kansan Till Sheets, Frank Leverett

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

The full extent of overlap of the Illinoian upon the Kansan has not been determined. It is certain that a sheet of Kansan drift underlies the Illinoian throughout its extent in southeastern Iowa and in all probability it continues some distance eastward into western Illinois in the section between Rock Island and Quincy.

The Aftonian And Pre-Kansan Deposits In Southwestern Iowa, H. Foster Bain

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

he Aftonian deposits of southwestern Iowa have peculiar interest in that within the area is the type locality for the Aftonian. So far neither the drift of the region nor the Aftonian as a unit has received a general discussion. The references to the beds extant are merely incidental to broader studies. The type locality and several other critical exposures have been visited by many geologists but no one has presented a complete account of the beds in question.

Flora Of Southern Iowa, T. J. Fitzpatrick, M. F. L. Fitzpatrick

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

The following notes are based upon collections in our private herbarium. In point of time the period reaches from 1882 to 1897. The counties represented being Decatur, Appanoose, Wapello, Van Buren, Shelby, and Johnson, extended by occasional collections from neighboring counties.

Notes Concerning Iowa Lichens, Bruce Fink

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

It has been my good fortune, through connection with the Minnesota Botanical Survey, to be able to study the lichen-flora of a region extending from northeastern Iowa to the British possessions; and it is my purpose first of all to give a somewhat revised abridgment of a previous paper dealing with the lichen-floras of certain localities within this region. The localities are Fayette, Iowa; Pictured Rocks, Clayton County, Iowa; and Minneapolis. I had originally intended to present merely an abstract of the original paper, but have finally decided that the only way to do justice to the subject is to …

Do The Lower Animals Reason?, C. O. Nutting

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

For the average layman to enter into a discussion involving psychological matters is surely a rather hazardous proceeding and indicates a temerity that needs some apology. Your speaker, although not a psychologist, has become greatly interested in the evidences of mind that have impressed themselves upon him in his study of animals, and has had his interest greatly stimulated by the perusal of the works of two writers, one of whom discusses animal psychology from the side of the naturalist, and the other from the side of the psychologist. With the latter writer I have been led into the most …

Comparative Anatomy Of The Corn Caryopsis, L. H. Pammel

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

The fruit, or what is popularly known as the seed, of corn has been studied by a number of investigators, as Harz, Hunt, Goodale, Hackel, Jumelle, True, and Blyth. The literature on the structure of the corn caryosis is quite large; many of the works on foods discuss the subject.

Some Studies On The Seeds And Fruits Of Berberidaceae, L. H. Pammel, J. R. Burnip, Hannah Thomas

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

Although several papers bearing on the anatomy of different organs of plants of this order have been published, no one has studied the comparative anatomy of the seeds. It gives us great pleasure to acknowledge the kindness shown us by Drs. B. L. Robinson, J. K. Small, Mr. G. H. Hicks, and Prof. C. S. Sargent for favors shown us in the way of obtaining material for study and the determination of some species; the free access to and use of the library of the Missouri Botanical Garden, through the courtesy of the director, Dr. Trelease, and, finally, the faithful …

On The Occurrence Of The White Ant (Termes Flavipes) In Iowa, Herbert Osborn

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

I am not aware of any published record of the occurrence of Termes flavipes in Iowa and aside from a note book record by J. Duncan Putnam I have not until the present year been able to secure any definite facts that would warrant listing it as belonging to our fauna.

A Comparative Study Of The Leaves Of Lolium, Festuca, And Bromus, Emma Pammel

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

There are some striking differences in the leaves of Festuca and Lolium. One of the most essential in the species studied is the presence or absence of hairs and the involute character of the leaf of Festuca tenella.

The Nerve Cells Of The Shark's Brain, Gilbert L. Houser

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

The sharks are of the greatest interest to the morphologist on account of the many ancestral characters of their organization. The researches of recent years indicate that they represent quite well the primitive stem of the jaw-bearing vertebrates. With this fact in mind, the importance of the study of the shark's brain is at once apparent. For obvious reasons modern neurological investigation has been largely concerned with the mammalian brain in general and the human brain in particular. But the structures here are highly specialized, and their significance cannot always be thoroughly understood. In order to unravel the tangled threads …
