The volcanic history of the San Juan Mountains, Colorado

The San Juan Mountains, which are made up chiefly of volcanic rocks, are located in southwestern Colorado and occupy a rudely circular area of over 10,000 square miles, or larger than the state of Massachusetts. They have been studied and mapped geologically by the United States Geological Survey, chiefly by field parties under Whitman Cross and Esper S. Larsen.

A preliminary report on the growth of the rock bass, Ambloplites rupestris (Rafinesque), in two lakes of northern Wisconsin

For several years the Wisconsin Geological and Natural History Survey has been making a limnological study of lakes in the northern part of the State. Because of the fact that so much has been learned of the physical, chemical and biological conditions in these lakes, the region seems particularly favorable for a study of the growth rates of fishes in relation to environmental factors.
