Proceedings Of The Seventeenth Annual Session Of The Iowa Academy Of Sciences: Staff & Committee Reports

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

The seventeenth annual session of the Iowa Academy of Sciences was held in the rooms of the Iowa Geological Survey at the capitol building, December 30 and 31, 1902. In the business session the following matters of general interest were passed upon.

Comparative Values Of Different Methods Of Geologic Correlation In The Mississippi Basin, Charles R. Keyes

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

The need of a number of independent criteria in the broader work of geologic correlation has never been more apparent than at the present time. Yet for necessary reasons geologists have been slow in applying in the field what they have been convinced of in their theoretical musings.

The Chemical Composition Of Nuts Used As Food, J. B. Weems, Alice W. Hess

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

Nuts are used extensively as a luxury and their food value has been given little attention. According to the report of the department of agriculture, nuts are imported to the value of $1,518,484 in 1901, and this amount does not include the nuts which are admitted duty free. The use of nuts under the unfavorable conditions for digestion has given to them a reputation of being indigestible. If used under favorable conditions as part of the meal and not as an addition to a product which is indigestible itself, there is no reason why many of the nuts should not …

A Possible Origin For The Lignites Of North Dakota, Frank A. Wilder

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

The lignite of North Dakota occupies part of an area that is shared by the neighboring states of Montana, Wyoming, and South Dakota, and by Assiniboia on the north. The total area of this lignite field in the United States alone is 70,000 square miles, apportioned as follows: North Dakota 31,500, Montana 25,000, Wyoming 9,000, and South Dakota 4,500. It is probable that all of this field does not contain lignite beds of workable thickness, but studies carried on in North Dakota and Montana during the past summer indicate that thick beds are very general, and that often a series …

Living Plants As Geological Factors, B. Shimek

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

The importance of water as a geological agent, both constructive and destructive, is so great and its effects are everywhere so patent, that by contrast the importance of other agents is underestimated, or in large part over looked. Among these underestimated agents plants may be classed so far as their modern work is concerned.

The Preparation Of Ammonia Free Water For Water Analysis, J. B. Weems, C. E. Gray, E. C. Myers

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

The preparation of water which will not give the yellow coloration with Nessler's reagent is an important problem in the analysis of water. Where the laboratory water supply contains a small quantity of ammonia, suitable water for use in water analysis can no doubt be obtained by ordinary distillation and collecting that part of the distillate which is free from ammonia. The water supply of many laboratories will not permit of this ready method of preparing ammonia free water. The distilled water must be redistilled with sulphuric acid and potassium permanganate to obtain a satisfactory water which will remain colorless …

The Solar Surface During The Past Twelve Years - A Review Of Sun-Spot Observations Made At Alta, Iowa, From 1890 To 1902, David E. Hadden

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

The following paper is a resume of a series of sun-spot observations commenced by the writer in 1890, August 1st, and continued without interruption, except by cloudy weather and other unavoidable causes —such as sickness or absence from the city— until the present time.

The Scrophulariaceae Of Iowa, T. J. Fitzpatrick, M. F. L. Fitzpatrick

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

The Figwort family comprises nearly 2,500 species, which are grouped in about 165 genera. The species are quite widely distributed, but are most abundant in temperate regions, occurring rarely towards the poles and equator. Heller, in his Catalogue of North American Plants, includes 51 genera and 627 species and varieties belonging to the Figwort family. The flora of Iowa has representatives of 21 genera, there being about 45 species.

The Membrane Bones In The Skull Of A Young Amphiuma, H. W. Norris

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

The specimen upon which the following description is based was 51 mm. in length. In the state of development of the skull it appears to be intermediate between the two stages described and illustrated by Winslow with figures of wax models. The chondrocranium appears to be almost exactly like that of the older specimen described by him, except that the ossification in my specimen is less advanced. The specimen was sectioned and a reconstruction of the skull was made after Bora's method.
