Notes From The Botanical Laboratory Of Iowa Agricultural College, L. H. Pammel

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

It is a good plan to make a permanent record of some of the work done by undergraduate students, provided the observations are carefully made and recorded. During the winter of 1892 and 1893 there was a serious epidemic of typhoid fever in La Crosse, Wisconsin, which came to my notice through my brother, H. A. Pammel. I was asked to make a bacteriological examination of the water and report. It was impossible for me to do so because of other work on hand at that time. Two senior students, Messrs. McCall and Patton, then at work in the bacteriological …

Notes On The Pollination Of Some Liliaceae And A Few Other Plants, Mary C. Rolfs

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

It will not be necessary in this connection to refer to the literature. This may be obtained from such works as Herman 'Mueller and Darcy W. Thompson. In the identification of insects help was obtained from Prof. Osborn and Miss Beach.

Variation In The Succinidae Of The Loess, B. Shimek

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

The recent species of the genus Succinea are certainly puzzling, but those which are found as fossils in the loess deposits of the Missouri and Mississippi valleys are positively bewildering. The fossil forms belong principally to the avara and obliqua groups, but few specimens belonging to the ovalis group occurring. Without entering into a detailed discussion of the various forms it may be briefly stated that an examination of the specimens, both recent and fossil, which are herewith submitted, will show the following facts.

Hackberry Psyllidae Found At Ames, Iowa, Chas. W. Mally

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

The insects now under consideration belong to the family Psyllidae; sub-family Psyllinae; and the genus Pachypsylla. The genus, according to Dr. C. V. Riley, "has no equivalent in the European fauna; but some allied, still undescribed, genera occur in the New World."

On The Geological Position Of Bennettites Dacotensis Macbride With Remarks On The Stratigraphy Of The Region In Which The Species Was Discovered, Samuel Calvin

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

Since Professor Macbride's paper on Bennettites dacotensis was published in the American Geologist for October, 1803, there have been numerous inquiries respecting the exact geological horizon from which the cycads were derived. The close resemblance and the intimate relationship indicated between the Dakota fossil and Tysonia marylandica Fontaine, while not conclusive, would point toward a common horizon for the two species, and so make it possible to correlate the Potomac formation with a definite Mesozoic horizon in the northwest. Professor Macbride's paper left the stratigraphical position of his species undecided. To settle, if possible, the question definitely the writer recently …

Cretaceous Formations Of Northwestern Iowa, Charles R. Keyes

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

Until recently little definite information has been accessible concerning the distribution and subdivisions of the Cretaceous deposits of Northwestern Iowa. Strata of Cretaceous age have been recognized from time to time at various points, but, as a rule, little detailed information has been recorded. As early as 1840 Nicollet called attention to certain sections near the mouth of the Sioux River which he regarded as Cretaceous in age. Since that time Cappellini, Marcou, Meek, Hayden, White and others have been through this region. In all these cases the rocks noted were in the immediate vicinity of the Missouri River. White …

Sigourney Deep Well, H. Foster Bain

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

During the summer of 1888 a deep well was drilled at Sigourney, in Keokuk County. Captain Parker, who was at that time mayor, carefully preserved samples of the different strata passed through. These samples have recently been re-examined, and form the basis of the following notes. While the unreliability of records derived from the ordinary or churn drill is fully recognized, it is believed that the care with which these samples were selected and preserved, at least considerably reduces that element of doubt. Previous accounts of this record have been published in the local newspapers, and re-published by C. H. …

Topography Of The Granite And Porphyry Region Of Missouri, E. H. Lonsdale

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

When speaking of the Archaean hills of Missouri Pumpelly has likened them unto "an archipelago of islands in the Lower Silurian strata which surrounded them as a whole and separate them from one another." To one who knows this interesting territory with its isolated and grouped knobs hills and mountains of crystalline rocks standing out more or less prominently and dotting the broad expanse of more recent sedimentaries, this figure is an exceedingly happy one; one most admirably taken.

Bacteria, Their Relation To Modern Medicine, The Arts And Industries, L. H. Pammel

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

It has been customary for the president in making his retiring address, to choose some popular subject and discuss it on broad lines. In some cases my predecessors have given a resume of the scientific literature in our own State, and I need not say that we all feel proud of the work accomplished by this small band of workers. I shall venture, in this address, to discuss the subject of Bacteria along general lines and hope I may be able to correct some popular misapprehensions concerning the subject.

Additional Notes On Iowa Mollusca, B. Shimek

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

About five years ago the writer published an annotated list of Iowa Mollusca under the title "The Mollusca of Eastern Iowa." Material has been secured since by which many of the species have been traced across the entire State, and which also throws much additional light on the synonymy of some of the species.

Satin Spar From Dubuque, A. G. Leonard

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

Located less than six miles south of Dubuque and one and three-fourth miles due west of Massey station on the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railroad are some curious "spar caves" as they are appropriately called. In these caverns are some occurrences of satin spar that are very unusual and of much interest. It is doubtful whether there is another locality where such peculiar forms of calcite are found, two varieties being associated together in the stalactites. The latter have also undergone a change in structure since first formed.

Electrolysis Of Silver Laboratory Notes, W. S. Hendrixson

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

The author exhibited some pieces of apparatus devised in connection with his work on the atomic weight of tin, and also a quantity of pure silver prepared by electrolysis of the pure silver of Stas in strong nitric acid solution. The method of electrolysis was essentially that of Abrahall as modified by Richards. By using a strong acid solution containing fifteen per cent of silver and a battery consisting of sixteen gravity cells the silver was obtained in large crystals and no peroxide was formed at the positive pole. Separate experiments showed that silver deposited under these conditions, from a …

A New Species Of Pemphigus Occuring On Thorn, F. Atwood Sirrine

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

Estlund, in describing the characters and work of Aphis crataegifolia Fitch, says: "Found on leaves of Crataegus corrugating them. Specimens taken during May on Crataegus tomentosa Linn, were found to curl the leaves very much, and as they turned dark brown or red they became very conspicuous.''

The Vascular Supply Of The Teeth Of The Domestic Cat, C. C. Nutting

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

After all that has been written about the anatomy of the domestic cat it would seem a hopeless task to find any facts of real importance in a field so carefully gleaned by Wilder and Gage and a host of other writers of the past and present.

Notes On The Distribution Of Hemiptera, Herbert Osborn

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

During the past few years I have received from a number of different sources, partly by purchase and partly by sets sent me for determination, a number of collections of Hemiptera, and as some of these records extend the known distribution of the species, or give more specific data regarding them, it seems desirable to give them a permanent record.

Derivation Of The Unione Fauna Of The Northwest, Charles R. Keyes

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

One of the most striking features in the zoological history of the Mississippi basin is the exceedingly rich and varied moluscan fauna, which is characterized particularly by the Unio family, including all the common river mussels. The great abundance of individuals, the large number of forms and the wide geographic range of many of the varieties has perhaps no parallel elsewhere. The first of these statements requires no further proof to one who has worked anywhere within the limits of the region under consideration. The second proposition finds ample evidence in collections of more than sixty different kinds of these …

Some Peculiarties Of Solutions Of Ferric Sulphocyanate, Launcelot Andrews

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

The deep blood-red color of solutions of ferric sulphocyanate has frequently been taken advantage of for the determination of small quantities of iron in river or spring water, in blood; in alloys, in alumcake, etc. The earliest method of this kind so far as I have been able to ascertain, is due to T. L. Herapath, who proposed to determine minute quantities of iron by the addition of potassium sulphocyanate to the acidified solution containing an unknown amount of iron, and also to a standard iron solution of known strength, the latter being then diluted until both showed the same …

Southern Extension Of The Cretaceous In Iowa, E. H. Lonsdale

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

The Cretaceous deposits of Iowa, from time to time, have received the attention of a number of geologists. The most important researches were made by Marcou, Meek, Heer, White and Calvin. Their investigations were carried on chiefly in the vicinity of Sioux City. The formation elsewhere in the State has, with a few exceptions, received no consideration. Its exact extent is yet to be determined; its vertical thickness is yet unknown; the relative ages of some of its beds remain to be established.

Laboratory Notes In Zoology, Herbert Osborn

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

It is my purpose, in these notes, to call attention to some matters of experience in laboratory work which may be of service to other teachers and also to place on record the results of some studies by students that appear to be worthy of preservation. Laboratory work in zoology has been carried on at the Agricultural College since 1876, and for nearly all of that time under my own supervision, so that while my own specialty has kept me busy in other lines some notes from the experience of these years may be of service to teachers who may …

On The Assumption Of A Special "Nascent State", Launcelot Andrews

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

The assumption frequently appears in chemical literature that elements at the moment of being set free from their compounds exhibit properties which the same elements do not ordinarily possess. This alleged specific condition is designated as the "nascent state" or status nascendi. The hypothesis of such a condition dates back to the time when the dualistic theory held sway and, so far as I am aware, has not been subjected to criticism in the light of modern views.
