The Algae Of A Transient Lake In Kentucky, Fred Mutchler Aug 1934

The Algae Of A Transient Lake In Kentucky, Fred Mutchler

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

The present taxonomical study was undertaken with the view of obtaining additional information on the occurrence and distribution of algae in Kentucky. The investigation was begun in February 1934 under the direction of Dr. H.L. Stephens of the Western Kentucky State Teachers College. During the next three months 110 collections of algae were made and analyzed.


Bacteria & Nitrate Nitrogen Content Of The Water Of Barren River, Gilbert Westerfield Aug 1934

Bacteria & Nitrate Nitrogen Content Of The Water Of Barren River, Gilbert Westerfield

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

A quantitative study of bacteria and nitrogenous compounds of Barren River in Warren County, Kentucky, was undertaken to determine the relation between the number of bacteria and the amount of nitrate nitrogen found.


Studies On A Cave Fish Of Uncertain Classification, Jennie Miller Orr Aug 1934

Studies On A Cave Fish Of Uncertain Classification, Jennie Miller Orr

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

The specimens studied during this investigation were taken incidentally during a general faunal survey of certain peculiar streams flowing from underground channels. On casual examination it was evident that they belonged to the cave fish group but were not the well known almost colorless blind variety. After checking the descriptions in various vertebrate manuals it appeared that they were probably a new species.

There are three groups of cave fishes, the non-blind, the semi-blind and the blind. Chologaster, or the Rice Field Minnows of South Carolina, are members of the non-blind group. Forbesichthys of southern Illinois and Kentucky is an …

The Bottom Fauna Of Drakes Creek: A Quantitative & Qualitative Study, Theodore Milam Jun 1934

The Bottom Fauna Of Drakes Creek: A Quantitative & Qualitative Study, Theodore Milam

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

An ecological study of the invertebrate animal forms exclusive of microscopic forms found in the waters of Drakes Creek in Warren County, Kentucky, was undertaken for the purpose of determining both the nature and amount of invertebrate animal life found in these waters. The Kentucky Fish and Game Commission has made several plantings of game fish in the waters studied. However, the fishermen report no appreciable increase of the fish life in these waters. In view of the failure of the fish to propagate properly in these waters, and because the other physical factors appeared favorable for the propagation of …

Fishes Of The Mammoth Cave Region, John Sterling Jackson Aug 1933

Fishes Of The Mammoth Cave Region, John Sterling Jackson

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

Extensive surveys of the ichthyological fauna have been made for states bordering Kentucky. An investigation of the literature pertaining to the ichthyology of Kentucky discloses the fact that no detailed investigation has been made of fish life in this state, especially western Kentucky. No record is available of any survey having been made in the section known as the Mammoth Cave Region.

The purpose of this survey was to make a species and ecological study of the fishes of the Mammoth Cave Region. Extensive opportunity for ecological studies exists in this region, but only the most important factors were included …


Filicales Of The Mammoth Cave Region, William Youmans Aug 1933

Filicales Of The Mammoth Cave Region, William Youmans

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

The purpose of this investigation was to determine the distribution of each species of ferns with regard to the geologic strata, altitude and temperature and moisture relationships. A systematic classification was made of all species of ferns found in the region.


A Study Of The Tolerance Of Certain Species Of Fishes For Low Dissolved Oxygen & Increased Carbon Dioxide Concentrations, Charles Allen Aug 1933

A Study Of The Tolerance Of Certain Species Of Fishes For Low Dissolved Oxygen & Increased Carbon Dioxide Concentrations, Charles Allen

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

Extensive investigations have been made of the oxygen end carbon dioxide content of water in which fishes live. A review of the literature, however, shows that these studies have not been made under controlled laboratory conditions dealing with the species studied in this investigation. It was the purpose of this study to determine the lowest concentration of dissolved oxygen that will support certain species of fishes and, also, the lethal effects resulting from increased carbon dioxide tension as determined under carefully controlled laboratory conditions.


The Relation Of The Native Forest Cover To The Physical And Chemical Nature Of The Soils Of The Mammoth Cave National Park Area, Sheppard Walker Aug 1933

The Relation Of The Native Forest Cover To The Physical And Chemical Nature Of The Soils Of The Mammoth Cave National Park Area, Sheppard Walker

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

This study was undertaken for the purpose of determining the relation existing between the native forest cover and the chemical and physical properties of the soils of the Mammoth Cave National Park area. The study was suggested by certain references in the literature to a correlation existing between forest cover and the geological, chemical and physical nature of soils of this area. The recent attempt at reforestation in the Mammoth Cave National Park area renders such a study timely, and it is believed that the results reported in this paper will materially aid the Mammoth Cave National Park Commission and …
