I, Mode of Inheritance and Expression Carlson, James H. The results indicate the mutant phenotype is recessive; high penetrance being due to the homozygosity of factors found on both the second and third chromosomes. Selection for high and low lines of expression was initiated and after nine generations of selection for a high line and six generations for a low line, a significant difference between the two was obtained. Analysis of crosses between high and low lines, Fi crosses, and backcrosses to both parental lines gives evidence for additive action of the polygenes controlling expression of the second longitudinal vein (L2).

As many as three samples of unknown and/or known components can be run simultaneously on the same paper and under the same conditions. The method has been used by other investigators for the separation of pteridines and carbohydrates and has provided increased resolution and adaptibility.

II, Chlorophyceae Dawes, Clinton J. Under the light and electron microscopes, the structure of the cell walls of members of the 11 orders in the Class Chlorophyceae, Division Chlorophyta, were examined. With regard to the microfibrillar component of the cell walls, five types of wall structure were distinguished: (A) an apparent lack of a micro fibrillar component (Volvocales, Dasycladales, and some members of the Siphonales), (B) the microfibrils are arranged in a reticulate pattern (Tetrasporales, Schizogoniales), (C) the microfibrils are oriented in an axial direction (Ulotrichales, Oedogoniales, Zygnematales, and some members of the Siphonales), (D) the microfibrils are parallel to one another and arranged in lamellae (Ulvales), and (E) the microfibrils are parallel to one another, arranged in lamellae, and at right angles to the microfibrils in the lamellae above and below forming the crossfibrillar pattern (Cladophorales, Siphonocladales). Members of the Ulvales were found to have a cell wall similar to that of the brown algae while a member of the Schizogoniales, Prasiola, was found to have a cell wall similar to that of the red algae. A discussion of the taxonomic implications of cell wall structure is included.

Edward The range of activities available for student participation in Mentor Ridge Junior High School's science club has been broadened to include the presentation of research in the form of papers before critical groups. Scientific meetings were devised similar in format to professional Academy meetings. Two symposia were held at the school, one in 1963, another in 1964. The sessions were found to be adaptable to educational use and are offered as supplementary or alternative to existing co-curricular programs. The symposia fostered scientific inquiry and a critical attitude toward scientific research, provided highly realistic settings for scientific communication, were easy to organize, and offered a variety of experiences communicating the results of research. The greatest disadvantage was the limited number of participants accommodated, though this defect may be overcome. Five days seemed the best length of time to run the program.

Formation of Crystals of a Basic Mercuric Chloride, HgCl2-2HgO1 Kurz, Philip F. This investigation was concerned with a study of some factors which control the formation of HgCU^HgO crystals in silica gels. It is possible to control the size, shape, color, rate of growth, and distribution of crystals of this basic salt by varying the initial alkalinity of the gel, the silica content of the gel or the rate of infusion of HgCl2 into the gel. The level in a gel at which HgCU^HgO crystal start to grow can be controlled readily by adding H+ to the HgCU used as external reactant. Evidence is presented to show that the basic salt is HgCl2-2Hg0 and not a more basic or a less basic mercuric chloride.

S. Extraterrestrial spherules have been recovered from Pleistocene drift and from more ancient sedimentary rocks. Modern deposits also contain spherules, but, because a significant percentage of these spherules can be shown to be of recent terrestrial and industrial origin, such deposits are not dependable sources of extraterrestrial spherules. A classification of extraterrestrial spherules has been developed, based on microscopic observation, which shows a continuous series between two end members. One end member is magnetic and has a luster that varies from bright metallic to black submetallic, probably indicating a composition varying between iron and magnetite. The surface is notably reticulated. The other end member is nonmagnetic and is a generally colorless to amber-colored, transparent glass, probably with a composition varying between those of olivine and pyroxene. The surface is usually smooth, though submicronsized "percussion" marks or micron-sized indentations may be observed on some specimens. These members are referred to as Type I and Type III, respectively. Spherules intermediate between these end members are called Type II.

Aspects of weathering in loam-textured Illinoian till and overlying loess were studied. Silt-size iron, calcium, and potassium minerals weathered in the B2 and B3 horizons in amounts similar to those in fairly youthful modern Gray-Brown Podzolic soils developed in loess along the Mississippi River. In the clay fraction, weathering procedes from illite through expandable vermiculite to chloritic vermiculite. Kaolinite occurs in increasing amounts toward the surface of the buried soil. Despite its age and physical appearance, this soil is not judged to be in an advanced stage of weathering.

Two of these species, S. laciniatum and S. terebinthinaceum, have hybridized in a prairie habitat west of Marion, Ohio. This population has been analyzed using the Gay Method of population analysis. In contrast to a similar population of hybridizing individuals from Coles County, Illinois, where backcrossing is apparently in the direction of S. laciniatum, backcrossing in the Marion, Ohio, population appears to be in the direction of S. terebinthinaceum.

Exhaust materials were collected from a four-cylinder automobile engine that consumed 1 quart of lubricating oil for each 5 gal of gasoline. The oily condensate was separated into three fractions. These fractions contained paraffins, olefins, and cycloparaffins as fraction I, aromatics as fraction II, and non-hydrocarbons and oxygenated compounds as fraction III. The solvents produced no noticable effects on test mice after 279 days of testing. Fractions I and II produced ulcerated sores which formed thick scabs. Fraction II also produced a small amount of cancerous cells at the site of application. Fraction III produced thin scabs and was associated with hyperirritability and other evidence of central nervous system changes. This fraction was lethal in doses of 100 mg per week.

Two adjacent rockshelters in Peters Cave, Ross County, Ohio, were excavated by the authors in 1964. This constitutes one of the few systematic shelter excavations in Ohio in recent years. Shelter A yielded a single-component, undisturbed Adena occupation tentatively dated to 50 B.C. Shelter B produced a single-component, undisturbed occupation of Late Woodland affiliation, tentatively dated to 800 A.D. Since little is known of Late Woodland in Ohio, a new cultural phase of the Scioto Tradition, named Peters Phase, has been denned from the material in Shelter B. The cultural assemblage here shows continuity from preceding Woodland phases. The Peters Phase clearly postdates Hopewell and pre-dates the Mississippian Fort Ancient Aspect. The two shelters served as temporary hunting camps, probably occupied only during summer. The vertebrate and invertebrate fauna found in association with the occupation permits detailed discussion and interpretation of hunting practices and food preferences.

The physical sciences in the program of the Ohio Academy of Science were represented only sporadically from the time of founding in 1891 until 1912. Concern for physical science was largely represented by the study of physical phenomena observed by field naturalists. A Section of Physics was organized in 1912, renamed Section of Physical Science in 1924, and reorganized as the Section of Physics and Astronomy in 1934 when a Section of Chemistry met for the first time. A Section of Mathematics was founded in 1938, and following continual decline was dissolved in 1954, but it was revived in 1965.

The Ohio Academy of Science was organized 31 December 1891 and was incorporated 12 March 1892, with 59 charter members. In the first decade, plans were developed for a Natural History Survey and a Topographic Survey of Ohio. In 1908, provision was made for separate sections of the Academy and, the following year, the first three—Zoology, Botany, and Geology—were created. A selected list of members active in these three sections is given for the first three decades.
