Notes On The Hemiptera Of Northwestern Iowa, Herbert Osborn

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

From the difference in geological and floral conditions of the northwestern part of the state, we might naturally expect a somewhat interesting insect fauna. Occasional specimens of species, rare or unknown in the central part of the state, have come to hand and, especially in Hemiptera, have served to strengthen a desire to investigate more thoroughly the fauna in this order. Many of these additions have been due to the successful collecting of Mr. E. D. Ball, whose faithful, persistent efforts it is a pleasure to acknowledge here. During the summer of 1897 I spent a couple of weeks in …

Forest Trees Of Adair County, Iowa, James E. Gow

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

In order to understand the forestry conditions of Adair County, a short description of the lay of the land and the nature of the soil is first necessary. The county lies along the crest of the "grand divide," between the Mississippi and the Missouri, so that a line drawn along the crest of the ridge traverses it diagonally from northwest to southeast. The land is undulating enough to secure an easy natural drainage, but not so undulating as to be difficult of cultivation, except in a few isolated localities. The soil is a rich, black loam, varying in thickness from …

A Simple Incubator, L. S. Ross

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

No claim of originality is made in the presentation of the description of the simple apparatus used by me as an incubator. The idea, so far as I know, originated in the mind of Mr. W. D. Frost, assistant instructor in bacteriology in the University of Wisconsin.

Effects Of A Sleet Storm On Timber, James E. Gow

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

On the night of the 9th and the morning of the 10th of February, 1898, a heavy sleet storm passed over Adair County, Iowa. The storm began not very long after midnight with a brisk rain which froze as it fell and adhered tenaciously to trees and other objects with which it came in contact. The wind at the time was slightly west of north and was not blowing at all briskly. The day preceding the storm had been unusually warm, for the time of year, with a cloudy sky, a slight breeze from the north and a very humid …

The Burlington Artesian Well, Francis M. Fultz

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

Work was commenced on the Burlington artesian well about midsummer of 1896; but, owing to cessation of operations for somewhat more than a year, it was not finished until midsummer of 1898. The well is located in Crapo Park, and the expense of putting it down was borne out of the park funds.

The Lower Rapids Of The Mississippi River, Frank Leverett

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

In the early days of navigation on the Mississippi, two important rapids were found to interrupt the passage of vessels at low water stages; one, about fifteen miles in length, being above the city of Rock Island, Ill., and the other, about eleven miles in length, above the city of Keokuk, Iowa. These became known, respectively, as the upper and lower rapids. The latter are also called the Des Moines rapids because of the situation above the mouth of the Des Moines River.

Additions To The Bibliography Of North American Lichens, Bruce Fink

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

While reading in the botanical library of the University of Minnesota during the summer of 1896, I noticed a number of titles which had escaped Mr. W. W. Calkins, while preparing his bibliography of North American lichens. These I added to some before noted in my own library and began a careful search which extended through the summers of 1897 and 1898; examining also the general library of the University of Minnesota.

A Review Of The Cercopidae Of North America North Of Mexico, E. D. Ball

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

The family cercopidae, though of world-wide distribution, has comparatively few representatives within our borders, and those few have been but imperfectly known, the literature on the subject being scattered and fragmentary, the generic references often incorrect, and the specific determinations, owing to the extreme variability in color of some species, and the striking similarity of color between others, rendered very questionable. Scarcely one of the more common forms but what has been referred to under at least four different genera and several have more than that number of specific names.

Report On A Fossil Diatomaceous Deposit In Muscatine County, Iowa, P. C. Myers

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

Previous to the present year no fossil diatoms had been found in Iowa. On October 20, 1898, Prof. J. A. Udden, of Rock Island, Ill., while engaged in work for the Iowa Geological survey, found and sent to Prof. S. Calvin, of the State University, some diatomaceous earth. This material was taken from below the loess in Muscatine County, Iowa, and was turned over to the author for examination. It was of a dull, yellow color, composed of sand and decayed vegetable matter and a few diatoms.

This evening there are many reasons for special congratulation. Our roll of fellows and members is longer than ever before; our program shows a …

Observations On The Geology Of Steamboat Springs, Colorado, F. M. Witter

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

In the year 1873, a division of geologists under the management of Dr. F. V. Hayden, made a survey of the region from Willow Creek Pass, between North and Middle Parks, across the park range down the Yuma or Bear River to the White River, around to Eagle River and up the Grand, of which Willow Creek, in Middle Park, is a tributary. In this report, very brief mention is made of Steamboat Springs, although the trail on their map does not pass nearer than twenty-five or thirty miles to the Springs.
