A ground-water reconnaissance in the Pine Forest region, Haiti

The Pine Forest region is located in southeastern Haiti. The SHADA Forest Division headquarters near the eastern end of the region is about 98 kilometers by road from Port-au-Prince. In early February 1949 the writers made a brief geologic study of the region to determine the feasibility of drilling wells to obtain water for domestic, stock and small-scale industrial use. Existing water supplies

A Sigmodon and Baiomys population in ungrazed and unburned Texas prairie

Summary: A 6.1-acre rectangle in ungrazed and unburned tall-grass prairie at Camp Bullis, Bexar County, Texas, was live-trapped from August 4 through 12, 1947. The home range of SIgmodon hispidus in this habitat was less than 100 feet in diameter for females, and less than 200 feet for males. Greater travels were recorded only for two males. The home range of Baiomys taylori was less than 10

A streptomycete pathogenic to fish

A streptomycete and pseutdomonad were isolated from blueback salmon, Oncorhynchuis nerka (WValbaum), and shown to be pathogenic to fish. Trhese organisms were isolated from young blueback salmon taken from a gr'oup that developed an increasing mortality after feeding about a month at the United States Fishery Station, Leavenworth, Washington. A superficial examination revealed only the presence of

Aeromagnetic maps and second vertical derivative maps of Great Sitkin Island, Northern Adak Island, and part of northeastern Umnak Island, Alaska

The eight attached maps were constructed from data taken on Project Volcano in the summer of 1947. The project was sponsored by the Office of Naval Research and conducted by the U.S. Geological Survey in cooperation with the Naval Ordnance Laboratory. Field work was done by Fred Keller, Jr., and J. L. Meuschke, Geophysicists of the U.S. Geological Survey, and by L. R. Alldredge, Physicist of the N

Age and growth of the lake whitefish, Coregonus clupeaformis (Mitchill), in Lake Erie

Although the whitefish has by no means ranked first from the standpoint of production, it has always been an important commercial species in Lake Erie. Trends in the output of whitefish have differed in the United States and Canadian waters of the lake. The 1893–1946 average annual yield of 1,201,000 pounds in the United States was only 38.3 percent of the 1879–1890 mean of 3,133,000 pounds, where
