Major Texas floods of 1935

In localities where highly mineralized water is present in beds above and below the beds that yield the supplies of fresh water it is necessary to be able to locate leaks in wells in order to know whether the wells are being contaminated through holes in the casings or whether the fresh water supply is failing. Four general methods of detecting salt-water leaks have been used. In the pumping metho

The fish exhibited several wart-like protuberances on the caudal peduncle, which aroused the curiosity of Mr. H. C. Topel, in charge of fish distribution at Miles City. He had observe

Notes on the effect of low temperature upon eyed eggs

The question has sometimes been raised whether or not any permanent injury may be inflicted upon fish eggs through their subjection to the relatively low temperatures prevailing in egg cases during shipment.
