Skeletal Parts Of Moropus, Erwin Hinckley Barbour

Conservation and Survey Division: Faculty and Staff Publications

In the foregoing publication, it was announced that the skull of Moropus had been discovered. Heretofore the genus had been known chiefly by scattered teeth and fragments, mostly toe bones, but now that the collections of Hon. Charles H. Morrill, Nebraska State Museum, have the skeletal parts necessary for the restoration of this remarkable animal, it seems advisable to supplement the brief illustrated report concerning the skull of Moropus with a similar paper concerning its skeletal parts.

Tests Of The Strength Of Concrete

Conservation and Survey Division: Faculty and Staff Publications

Since the use of concrete is becoming so general it seems quite appropriate that the tests of concrete in which any Nebraska material forms a constituent part should be recorded where they may be obtained by those interested.. The following tests were made in the Testing Laboratory of the University of Nebraska, and though very limited in number may be expressive of the qualities of concrete mixed from these materials.

The Control, Development And Utilization Of The Missouri River And Its Tributaries, G. E. Condra, H. W. Caldwell, O. V.P. Stout, F. J. Phillips, N. A. Bengtson, George L. Sheldon

Conservation and Survey Division: Faculty and Staff Publications

The speakers at this conference were Professors Condra, Caldwell, Stout, Phillips, Bengtson, and Gov. George L. Sheldon, with Dean Charles E. Bessey presiding. The principal object of the meeting was to make known reliable information in regard to the Missouri river, concerning which there is widespread interest and in some instances a tendency to magnify the future possibilities of the river. This paper is an account of the conference. It gives some of the thoughts that were emphasized at the symposium, reciting the facts as they were given by those who have investigated the respective phases of the theme.

Opening Of The Indian Territory, G. E. Condra

Conservation and Survey Division: Faculty and Staff Publications

The opening of Indian country has continued from Colonial days to the present. Usually it has resulted from force and treaty, the strong dispossessing the weak. As a result, the Red man has, in general, moved frontierward, ahead of industrial waves, remaining for a longer time only on reservations set aside for tribes. The Indian's struggle even on these reserves has been a losing one, resulting largely from war, disease, and the cupidity of whites. History shows that Indian life and Indian institutions have not prevailed against the white man's civilization and commerce. GATHERING THE TRIBES. The Indian Territory and …

Biennial Report, Erwin H. Barbour

Conservation and Survey Division: Faculty and Staff Publications

The Nebraska Geological Survey as now constituted has been in operation since 1891, but it has enjoyed state aid during the past four years only. Considering the size of the commonwealth and the limited appropriations for geological work, unusual progress has been made. Since no report covering the work of the first biennium was prepared it will be included incidentally in this paper. Briefly stated the Nebraska Geological Survey during the past biennium has devoted especial attention to the industrial resources of the state, prepared ten o! twelve reports in manuscript form, published eight reports completing volumes I and II, …

Evidence Of Loess Man In Nebraska, Erwin Hinckley Barbour

Conservation and Survey Division: Faculty and Staff Publications

Unconsciously or otherwise an investigator is often influenced to see that which seems confirmatory rather than that which is contradictory to his conceptions and beliefs. But in conducting the search for evidence of human remains in the Pleistocene the writer has striven against this psychological tendency and has aimed to be severely critical and exact.
