Occurrence of Helminth Parasites in Avian Hosts from South Bass Island, Ohio
(1974-01) Cooper, C. Lawrence
Necropsy of specimens of 10 species of birds from South Bass Island, Ottawa County, Ohio, yielded 15 species of helminth parasites. New host and geographic records resulting from this study include Brachylaemus euphonae from the Cedar Waxwing, Bombycilla cedrorum; Apophallus brevis and Tetrameres crami from the Sora Rail, Porzana Carolina; and Paruterina reynoldsi from the Slate-colored Junco, Junco h. hyemalis. Mosesia chordeilesia, Parabascus imanensis, Dilepis undula, Dispharynx nasuta, and Syngamus trachea are recorded for the first time from the Red-headed Woodpecker, Melanerpes e. erythrocephalus. Brachylaemus euphonae and Parabascus imanensis are reported for the first time from any North American host.
Element Contents of Three Alaskan-Arctic Mosses
(1974-01) Rastorfer, James R.
Concentrations of seventeen elements are reported for samples of Campylium stellatum, Polytrichum hyperboreum, and Polytrichum commune var. jensenii collected from U.S.-Tundra Biome study sites in the vicinity of Barrow, Alaska. The concentrations of macronutrient elements (P, K, Ca, Mg, N, and S) ranged, on the average, from 0.1% for sulfur to 1.3% for nitrogen. Contents of micronutrient elements (Mn, Fe, B, Cu, Zn, and Mo) ranged, on the average, from 057 ppm for iron to 1.8 ppm for molybdenum. Among the nonessential elements (Na, Si, Al, Sr, and Ba) analyzed, the amounts of silicon and aluminum were especially high.
The American Upper Ordovician Standard. XIX. A Middle And Upper Ordovician Reference Standard for the Eastern Cincinnati Region
(1974-01) Sweet, Walter C.; Harper, Howard, Jr.; Zlatkin, Dennis
A 1,200-foot core (designated CA-38) drilled by Cominco American, Inc., just east of Minerva, Mason County, Kentucky, provides an essentially complete section from near the top of the Fairview Formation (Upper Ordovician, Maysvillian) to the base of the Middle Ordovician High Bridge Group. The lowest 850 feet of the core penetrates a part of the Ordovician section that is not exposed in the eastern Cincinnati region, and the uppermost 350 feet provides a more nearly complete stratigraphic record than is exposed in a single surface section. Thus we suggest that core CA-38 be a primary reference standard for stratigraphic units in the eastern Cincinnati region. As a first step in establishing such a standard, we present for the uppermost 665 feet of the core a shale-percentage log, a clastic-ratio log, and a log showing the ranges and relative abundances of important conodont species. This portion of the core represents the stratigraphic interval above the base of the Lexington Limestone. Correlation and nomenclature of units in the uppermost 665 feet of core CA-38 is effected by comparing the logs with similar ones for important surface and subsurface sections elsewhere in the Cincinnati region.
The Everett Knoll: A Late Hopewellian Site In Northeastern Ohio
(1974-01) Brose, David S.
Recent archaeological investigations of a prehistoric mound near Everett in northern Summit County have revealed evidence of Hopewellian subsistence and ceremonial activity. Historical accounts describe the removal of exotic artifacts and cremation burials from a limestone crypt within the mound during 1856 road-building activities. Recently excavated artifacts include comer-notched projectile points, galena crystals, and cut bone and teeth. Human remains were also recovered. The ceramics indicate a period of mound construction around A.D. 300. Analysis of unmodified faunal materials suggests a floodplain occupation, with ceremonial activities occurring in late spring.
Vascular-Plant Type Specimens in the Ohio State University Herbarium
(1974-01) Stuckey, Ronald L.; Wentz, W. Alan
The Ohio State University Herbarium now contains over 200 specimens of vascular plants that have been designated as types. These types are listed here, with information about the original source collection in which each type was located, data appearing on the label (locality, date, collector), the kind of type, and the citation of the original publication.
Mercury Occurrence in Sediment Cores from Western Lake Erie
(1974-01) Walters, Lester J., Jr.; Kovacik, Thomas L.; Herdendorf, Charles E.
The Detroit River is the major source of mercury contamination in the sediments of western Lake Erie. Analyses of 63 sediment cores indicate that the mercury consists of two components: a high-concentration (0.5 to 4.0 ppm of dry sediment) mercury-enriched surface zone, whose concentration decreases pseudo-exponentially with depth, and a lowconcentration (0.04 to 0.09 ppm of dry sediment) relatively constant-background zone. Mathematical modeling of the mercury concentration as a function of depth in these sediment cores and subsequent statistical analysis of the apparent constant-concentration levels reveals that two log-normal distributions are necessary to describe these observed constant concentrations. Any mercury concentration within the sediment in excess of the lower (natural) background level plus one standard deviation is defined as being due to pollution. Such calculations of the pollution component for these 63 cores serve as the basis for an estimate of the total mercury that has been added through pollution sources. The mercury-pollution load for bottom sediments of western Lake Erie is estimated to be 228 metric tons.
