Possibility Of An Additional Meteorite Crater Near Odessa, Texas, John D. Boon, Claude C. Albritton Jr. Jan 1940

Possibility Of An Additional Meteorite Crater Near Odessa, Texas, John D. Boon, Claude C. Albritton Jr.

Field and Laboratory

In the vicinity of Odessa meteorite crater are a number of sinks which, viewed from the air, closely resemble the crater in plan and general configuration. It is suggested that at least one of these sinks may be a meteorite crater modified, since the time of its formation, by the solvent action of ground water on the underlying bedrock.


Sequent Occupance In The Central City Area, Colorado, Mary Grace Gillespie Jan 1940

Sequent Occupance In The Central City Area, Colorado, Mary Grace Gillespie

Field and Laboratory

Man's desire for the precious metals has taken him into remote areas of the earth. This untiring search for gold lead to the exploration of the canyons of the Rocky Mountains. In 1859 there appeared in an isolated mountain valley of northern Colorado, a small settlement, later to be known as Central City, that boomed suddenly, lived brilliantly, and died quickly, only to be revived in 1932.


Petroglyph And Pictograph Site In The Finlay Mountains, Dodd N. Osburn Jan 1940

Petroglyph And Pictograph Site In The Finlay Mountains, Dodd N. Osburn

Field and Laboratory

In the Finlay Mountains at longitude 105° 39' west, and latitude 31° 23' north, Fort Hancock Sheet, Texas, there is a former Indian campsite located on the steeper face of a cuesta fronting the east. Crude natural shelters are formed by many of the boulders which bestrew the cuesta face. They were derived from the cap rock of Cox sandstone. Many of these boulders and the face of the cliff formed by the cap rock are covered with petroglyphs.


Free Radicals, Joe Adams Jan 1940

Free Radicals, Joe Adams

Field and Laboratory

Free radicals are complexes of abnormal valency, which possess additive properties, but do not carry an electrical charge and are not free ions. Since Lavoisier introduced his theory of radicals in 1785 there has been the conviction among chemists that the radicals of organic chemistry could be isolated in the free state.

Oil Provinces Of Colombia And Venezuela, William R. Ransone May 1939

Oil Provinces Of Colombia And Venezuela, William R. Ransone

Field and Laboratory

Colombia and Venezuela are by far the most important oil producing countries of South America. In 1938, Venezuela ranked third among the oil producing countries of the world, with a yield of 190,000,000 barrels. Only the United States (1,265,000,000 barrels), and Russia (210,000,000 barrels) outrank that country. Colombia, with 22,000,000 barrels was ninth among the petroleum producing countries of the world.


Drainage Controls In The Austin Chalk Cuesta Area Of Dallas, Texas, E. F. Blakemore Jr. May 1939

Drainage Controls In The Austin Chalk Cuesta Area Of Dallas, Texas, E. F. Blakemore Jr.

Field and Laboratory

The Austin chalk cuesta is a prominent topographic feature which trends northeast across central Texas from Austin through Waco and Dallas. The escarpment is formed through differential erosion of beds at the contact between the Austin chalk and Eagle Ford: shale, the overlying chalk forming the cuesta. The area described in this paper is situated 6 miles west of Dallas, south of the Trinity River Cross Valley.


Bionomics Of The Aquatic And Semi-Aquatic Hemiptera Of Dallas County, Texas, Dick D. Millspaugh May 1939

Bionomics Of The Aquatic And Semi-Aquatic Hemiptera Of Dallas County, Texas, Dick D. Millspaugh

Field and Laboratory

Although (as Professor S. W. Geiser has shown in his publications on scientific study and exploration in Early Texas) a number of naturalists and entomological collectors have worked in Texas, and some of them (like Jacob Boll, Gideon Lincecum, J. D. Mitchell, A. C. V. Schott, G. W. Belfrage, E. A. Schwarz and F. A. Schaupp) have made notable contributions toward our first knowledge of the insect fauna of Texas, either by collection of specimens sent to monographers and specialists, or by publication, still, on several groups our information is meager. Among these groups are the aquatic and semi-aquatic Hemiptera.

Origin Of The Menard "Crater", Emmett Blakemore Jan 1939

Origin Of The Menard "Crater", Emmett Blakemore

Field and Laboratory

On August 30, 1938, the foreman of the Wilkerson Ranch twelve miles southwest of Menard, Texas, reported that a meteorite fell on the ranch and created a large crater. The story, widely publicized by newspapers, caused the writer, accompanied by Professor J. D. Boon of Southern Methodist University, to investigate this phenomenon.

The Hesperiidae Of Dallas County, Texas, Avery Freeman

Field and Laboratory

Little is known concerning the Hesperiidae of the Southwest. In Texas, various early naturalists made extensive collections of insects, but none specialized on Lepidoptera.
