Vertical Range Of Fossils At Louisiana, Charles R. Keyes, R. R. Rowley

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

Owing to peculiar phases in the erosion of the Mississippi River in northeast Missouri the basal portion of the Lower Carboniferous rocks is exposed to better advantage than perhaps anywhere else in the whole interior basin. In Pike County, Missouri, and in the contiguous parts of Illinois, not only does the lower part of the Carboniferous crop out along the streams, but vertical sections from the Hudson shales up to the Upper Burlington are obtainable in single exposures. In this locality the bluffs are high and the outcrops of the rocks under consideration are practically continuous along the great river …

Mechanism For Securing Cross Fertilization In Salvia Lanceolata, G. W. Newton

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

This plant was found growing abundantly about Grand Island, Nebraska, especially in waste places where the sod had been removed. It is 6 to18 inches high, has lanceolate to linear, sparsely serrate leaves.

Some Manitoba Cladocera, With Description Of One New Species, L. S. Ross

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

No record is to be found among the literature upon Entomostraca, of any systematic work done upon this interesting division of the Crustacea in Manitoba, or any of the provinces of Canada. The region is yet open to the student of the distribution of the group. A short stay in the province of Manitoba in June, 1885, was utilized by the author in making a few collections from the region about Portage la Prairie on the Canadian Pacific railroad, fifty-five miles west of Winnipeg. Before leaving the province some vials of alcohol were left with a resident of the town …

A New Species Of Daphina, And Brief Notes On Other Cladocera Of Iowa, L. S. Ross

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

A few collections taken from West and East Okoboji Lakes and Spirit lake in June, and from the sloughs of the Des Moines River in the fall of 1886, have added six more species to the list of Cladocera in the state, as given in the ''Proceedings" of the Academy for 1895. Five of the species are common to the country, and one is a hitherto undescribed species of Daphnia. A few individuals of a form of the difficult genus Bosmina were found which may be the young of Bosmina longirostris, O. F. Muller. If not the young of …

Note On Probable Life History Of Crepidodera (Epitrix) Cucumeris, Ham., F. A. Sirrine

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

During the winter of 1891 and 1895 a trouble known as "Pimply potatoes," among potato growers, was brought to our attention. As the trouble appeared to be some skin disease, it was turned over to Mr. F. C. Stewart, the mycologist. At the time he came to no definite conclusion as to what the trouble might be. Early in the fall of 1895 Mr. Stewart obtained a quantity of "Pimply potatoes" for microscopic examination. It was found that the pimples covered what appeared to be a brown ''sliver" in the flesh of the potato. This ''sliver" proved to be a …

Contributions To The Hemipterous Fauna Of Iowa, Herbert Osborn, E. D. Ball

Drift Section At Oelwein, Iowa, Grant E. Finch

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

Just outside the limits of the growing town of Oelwein, Iowa, to the southeast, the Chicago Great Western Railroad company, in order to lessen a troublesome grade, have excavated a cut nearly a mile in length. At the end farthest from the town, where it passes diagonally through a ridge, it has a maximum thickness of thirty-two feet. This ridge has a northwest-southeast trend, and is one of the ordinary gentle swells characteristic of the drift of this region.

Notes On Aquatic Plants From Northern Iowa, B. Shimek

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

The aquatic flora of northern and northwestern Iowa is of great interest, and it deserves especial attention because the occupancy of that part of the state by agricultural man is rapidly transforming the "Thousand Lake Region of Iowa," as the early settlers called it, into thousands of pastures, flax fields and wheat fields.

The Uses Of Formaldehyde In Animal Morphology, Gilbert L. Houser

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

By the term formaldehyde, I wish to designate a 40 per cent solution of the gas formaldehyde in water. Several articles answering to this description have been placed on the market under trade names such as the "Formalin" of Schering, the "Formol" of Merck, and the "Formalose" of Richards & Co. So far as I have tested these various preparations, they all agree as to composition, and yield perfectly similar results. My attention was first directed to formaldehyde as a morphological reagent in July, 1894, and I have been using it in my work, and have experimented with it in …

Stages Of The Des Moines, Or Chief Coal Bearing Series Of Kansas And Southwest Missouri And Their Equivalents In Iowa, Charles R. Keyes

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

The principal coal-bearing formation of Iowa and other parts of the western interior basin is the lower coal measures, or Des Moines series as it is now termed. Although the formation has been long recognized in practically its present geologic limits it has been only very recently that any attempt has been made to even suggest subdivisions of the series. It is to these minor distinctive parts that have been made out clearly in southwest Missouri and the adjoining portions of Kansas that attention is directed.

Summary Of Discussion, S. Calvin

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

The discussion following the preceding papers on the Oelwein section was participated in by Calvin, Fink, Bain, Shimek, Beyer, Finch and others. The facts developed during the discussion may be summarized as follows: A few years ago geologists were content to look upon the glacial period as a unit, and the drift mantle of Iowa was regarded as the effect of a single invasion and retreat of glacial ice. Some time ago, however, McGee demonstrated that in northeastern Iowa there are two distinct drift sheets separated by a soil horizon and forest bed which represent an interglacial period of considerable …

Notes Of Some Introduced Plants Of Iowa, L. H. Pammel

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

Since the settlement of Iowa many changes have taken place in our flora, especially with reference to introduced plants, and the disappearance of many indigenous species owing to breaking up of prairies, and the destruction of some timber areas, and the draining of ponds and lakes.

An Anatomical Study Of The Leaves Of Eragrostis, Carleton R. Ball

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

This study was undertaken in order to ascertain if the anatomical characters in the leaves of this genus were sufficiently well marked and constant to be of value in identifying the different species. The result of similar studies by others have been encouraging. Prominent among these is the series of excellent papers by Theodore Holm, who has studied six genera - Uniola, Distichlis, Pleuropogon, Leersia, Oryza, and Amphicarpum, and considers the anatomical characters of all except Distichlis to be a reliable basis for determining the different species. Emma Sirrine and Emma Pammel have studied Sporobolus and Pancum and conclude that …

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

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

The Sioux quartzite is exposed in this state only in the extreme northwestern corner of Lyon County. Other and greater exposures however are found in the adjacent parts of South Dakota.

Notes On The Orthopterous Fauna Of Iowa, E. D. Ball

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

As a family the Orthoptera have long been regarded as among the most injurious insects of the state. Every addition, therefore, to a list of species adds one more to the number of possible depredators of a given locality. On the other hand, every fact in regard to distribution, life-history or food habits of a species, added to the general knowledge, aids in formulating successful methods of treatment for the particular species.

The State Quarry Limestone, Samuel Calvin

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

At the state quarries, or North Bend quarries, in sections 5 and 8 of Penn township, Johnson County, Iowa, there is a body of limestone of Devonian age, possessing marked characteristics which set it off sharply from the rest of the Devonian in the upper Mississippi Valley. The formation has a thickness of about forty feet. At present there is some uncertainty as to its exact taxonomic relations.

Natural Gas In The Drift Of Iowa, A. G. Leonard

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

The finding of natural gas in the Pleistocene deposits of the state has been noted from time to time during the past decade. The first mention of its occurrence, as far as known, appeared in the report of the state mine inspector for the years 1886 and 1887.

A Pre-Kansan Peat Bed, T. H. Macbride

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

In making an excavation through a low ridge just east of Oelwein, in Fayette county, the workmen of the Chicago Great Western railway have recently brought to light some very interesting superficial or quaternary deposits. As to the nature, age and significance of these deposits taken as a whole, our geologists are no doubt ready to give early and accurate account. It is for me in this brief paper to discuss, from the standpoint of the botanist, a single member of the series of strata thus fortunately brought to light.

Evidence Of A Sub-Aftonian Till Sheet In Northeastern Iowa, S. W. Beyer

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

Until very recently, geologists working in Iowa have been content to refer the various boulder clays represented in the state to two till sheets, a so called "upper" and "lower," separated in many places by the "forest beds" of McGee, or in other localities by gravels, often in conjunction with a vegetal horizon, the Aftonian of Chamberlin.
