Synoptic Revision Of The United States Scarab Beetles Of The Subfamily Dynastinae, No. 2: Tribe Oryctini (Part), Lawrence Saylor

Entomology Papers from Other Sources

This paper continues the series on United States dynastine scarab beetles and includes the three genera differentiated in the following key:

1. Apical margin of posterior tibia evenly truncate, never with angulations or teeth (lateral view); real apex of clypeus beyond (i.e., apical of) the apparent carinate apex; front male tibia frequently edentate. = Cheiroplatys Hope

2. Mandibles always large, always well exposed, always armed externally with teeth or else square in outline (cessus); apical margin of posterior tibia usually with 1 or 2 sharp angulations or 1 to 3 or 4 teeth. = Strategus Hope

3. Mandibles usually hidden …

George Washington Curtis And Frank Arthur Gulley: Two Early Agricultural Teachers In Texas, S. W. Geiser

Field and Laboratory

The death, on September 18, 1945, in Oklahoma City, of Professor George W. Curtis, removed the last of the pioneer teachers of scientific agriculture at early Texas Agricultural and Mechanical College. Professor Curtis' term of service extended over a decade-from 1883 to 1893. He was the third professor of agriculture in the history of the College (having been preceded by Carlisle P. B. Martin and Charles C. Georgeson), and second Director (1890-93) of the Texas Agricultural Experiment Station. With him was closely associated as first Director of the Texas Station, Frank Arthur Gulley (1851-1938), graduate (1880) of the Michigan Agricultural …

A Gage Laboratory For Southern Methodist University, E. H. Flath

Field and Laboratory

On March 1, 1946, Major General G. M. Barnes, Chief of Research and Development for the Army Ordnance Department, and President Umphrey Lee of Southern Methodist University, announced plans for the establishment of a precision gage laboratory in the School of Engineering. The decision to install the laboratory was made at the request of the Lone Star Post of the Army Ordnance Association, membership of which includes executives and engineers for a large number of industrial firms in the Dallas area.

Dr. Ernst Kapp, Early Geographer In Texas, S. W. Geiser

Field and Laboratory

Because of its geographic position midway between Mexico and the old Louisiana Purchase, Texas has a fauna and flora that show in many respects transitional forms. The further fact that Texas was for ten years an independent republic, open to free immigration, brought into the new country citizens from diverse European lands, with their old cultures, who mixed with the preponderating immigrants from the United States. As a consequence, Texas came to be known to scientific men the world over as a new and interesting country to be explored…. Among the geographers, the most notable were William Bollaert, Thomas Falconer, …

Notes On The Flora Of Taylor County, Texas, W. L. Tolstead, V. L. Cory

Field and Laboratory

While the senior author was in training at Camp Barkeley, Taylor County, Texas, from September 1942 to February 1944, a nearly complete collection of native plants was made from that region. Specimens were forwarded to Mr. V. L. Cory, then of the Agricultural Experiment Station at Sonora, Texas. Most of them were identified immediately, but others were referred to specialists for study and determination. This paper lists the species collected, with habitat-, locality-, and other noteworthy information concerning them. (Continued in July 1946 issue.)

Parasites Of Ohio Muskrats, Robert L. Rausch

Harold W. Manter Laboratory of Parasitology: Faculty Publications

Parasites of the muskrat (Ondatra zibethica) have received considerable study, but little in Ohio. From March 20, 1943, to March 22, 1945, 70 Ohio muskrat carcasses were examined, most of them being obtained from trappers by Merrill C. Gilfillan, Leader of the Pittman-Robertson Muskrat Project in Ohio. The specimens were from seven localities: Lake Erie Marshes (28); Killbuck Valley Marsh (17, lacking liver and lungs); Walnut Creek (19) and Whetstone Creek (2), (Morrow County); Buckeye Lake (1); Little Scioto River, Marion County (1); and Union County near Marysville (2).

Synoptic Revision Of The United States Scarab Beetles Of The Subfamily Dynastinae, No.1: Tribe Cyclocephalini, Lawrence W. Saylor

Entomology Papers from Other Sources

The important subfamily Dynastinae has for some time been relatively neglected, taxonomically speaking, and only in the past few years have new species been described or the larval characters of many species better characterized. In all collections I have seen,numerous United States species are grossly misidentified, and it is hoped that the present papers will help to rectify this condition.

Ritcher's paper (1944) is an excellent contribution to the immature stages of these insects. His title, however, Dynastinae of the United States, is very misleading, because this paper includes only a small proportion of the described United States species, and …

The Effects Of Penicillin On E. Rhusiopathiae Infected Pigeons, L. Van Es, J. F. Olney, I. C. Blore

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Research Bulletins

Advantage was taken of an opportunity to study the effects of penicillin on Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae, the causative organism of swine erysipelas. Owing to the fact that swine cannot readily be infected with erysipelas by artificial methods, pigeons which are highly susceptible to the disease, were selected to serve as experimental animals. It was the purpose of these studies to ascertain whether or not the swine erysipelas bacillus is sensitive to the drug and incidentally to determine the possibility of finding application of penicillin in the treatment of swine.

Injury And Death Or Recovery Of Trees In Prairie Climate, F. W. Albertson, J. E. Weaver

Department of Agronomy and Horticulture: Faculty Publications

Several years of decreasing precipitation initiated the 7 years of drought. By midsummer of 1934 it vas clear that the prairie region of the Middle West was undergoing the greatest drought since the beginning of its recorded weather history. The 12 months following June, 1933, was the driest weather period ever recorded not only for the Dakotas, Minnesota, Nebraska, Iowa, Illinois, and Missouri, but also drought in Kansas, Oklahoma, and Colorado was very severe (Kincer 1934). This intensely dry period, as well as those in several of the following years was accompanied by record-breaking temperatures, extremely low humidities, and exceptionally …

Carotene Content Of Native Nebraska Grasses, I. L. Hathaway, H. P. Davis, F. D. Keim

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Research Bulletins

The carotene content of twenty-four grasses native to Nebraska were determined at approximately monthly intervals from June to November. While the carotene concentration of most of the grasses was moderately high during the growing season, it declined to a rather low point by late November. With the exception of Switchgrass, Hairy Grama, Little Bluestem and Prairie Dropseed, all of the grasses contained enough carotene to supply the needs of range cattle until late November. However, only eighteen of the grasses still contained enough carotene by the latter part of September to furnish the carotene required by dairy cows. Even as …
