On The Wax Glands Of The Pemphiginae, Herbert Osborn

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

After considering the accepted ideas concerning the wax glands of the Coccidae and Aphidae, the paper describes the structure of these glands in Pemphigus tessellata Fitch as an illustration of the unicellular form, (apparently the only form hitherto recognized ), and in Schizoneura cratagi Oestlund, as illustrating a complex gland.

On The Folding Of Carboniferous Strata In Southwestern Iowa, J. E. Todd

Local Problems In Science, Herbert Osborn

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

It may be said, with truth, that Science knows no boundaries of geography, polities, sect or race. That if there is to her credit, any characteristic of performance, it is that of universality.

Some Additional Observations On The Loess In And About Muscatine, F. M. Witter

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

The unconsolidated material resting on the drift in and about Muscatine possesses many of the characters of the loess and since it passes by insensible gradations, into the latter it seems rather to belong to the loess than to the drift.

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

The paper was the outgrowth of observations made on the Western plains. It is published in full in the American Naturalist for 1888. While recognizing the validity of protective, ornamental and typical coloration, as defined by Darwin, Wallace, Belt and others, the writer claimed that a very considerable amount of coloration in animals remained unexplained.

Animal Intelligence, H. W. Parker

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

So far as evolution is concerned, it really matters little' at what point intelligence appears. Intelligence proper includes the reasoning power as its chief and distinguishing characteristic. Facts regarded as proving a degree of this power in animals were reviewed in detail, and shown to be susceptible of a lower interpretation in harmony with the general phenomena of animal life.
