The First Isolations of the Powassan Virus in New York State - Whitney, E.; H. Jamnback (Proceedings of the Society for Experimental Biology and Medicine, 1965)
Powassan virus was isolated from 2 pools of ticks (1 unidentified, the other Ixodes cookei) removed from 2 Marmota monax live-trapped in northern St. Lawrence County. Powassan virus was also isolated from tissues taken from the same 2 animals. Another strain of POW virus was recovered from the brain of a sick gray fox found in Broome County 200 miles to the south in New York State. The 2 tick strains were compared antigenically with the proto-type POW strain and were found to be antigenically similar.

Archean Volcanism in the Canadian Shield - Wilson, H. D. B.; Andrews, P.; Moxham, R. L.; Ramlal, K. (Canadian Journal of Earth Sciences, 1965)
Chemical compositions of Archaean volcanic rocks in the Superior province of the Canadian shield have been determined from 261 new analyses from 10 volcanic belts. The analyses are compared with those of the various volcanic associations. This comparison shows that the volcanic rocks of all belts belong to the basalt andesite rhyolite association typical of continental orogenic belts or island are systems. A primitive continent with continental rocks must, therefore, have existed in early Archaean time.The Keewatin lava sequences in the various belts are remnants of a great volcanic sequence that covered the southern half of the Superior province of the Canadian shield.

Fall Spray Tests with Portable Mistblower Against White Pine Weevil - Connola, D. P.; Smith, W. E. (Journal of Forestry, 1964)
Applications of water emulsions of 6 percent DDT plus 3 percent sticker (Love 192 or Ortho Spray Sticker) in the fall successfully reduced white pine weevil (Pissodes strobi [Peck]) damage. Weeviling in treated white pine (Pinus strobus L.) plantations was reduced to an average of 4 percent from a pretreatment weeviling of 20 to 33 percent. Although the reduction was not so good as that obtained in spring treatments, the fall provides more time and better weather conditions for treatment.

Effects of Soil and Other Environmental Conditions on White Pine Weevil Attack in New York - Connola, D. P.; Wixson, E. C. (Journal of Forestry, 1963)
A study was made of white pine weevil attack occurring on 266 one-tenth acre sample plots of white pine over 16 feet tall in New York. Tree data collected included measure of weevil damage to the main stem in relation to height, and frequency of weevil attack. Plot data included information pertaining to drainage, exposure, elevation, tree growth, tree distortion due to weeviling, silviculture, soil litter, soil characters, and root penetration. Analysis of the data showed that only soil mottling and hardpan were correlated with stand damage, and that there was significantly more weevil damage in stands where these factors occurred in a 3-foot soil profile. Also, there was a direct correlation between weevil attack on the main stem and tree height at time of attack. Frequency of attack reached a peak at the 10- to 20-foot height level and then declined as height increased.

The Species of Culicoides Related to obsoletus (Maigen) in Eastern North America (Diptera:Ceratopogonidae) - H. Jamnback; Wirth, W. W. (Annals of the Entomological Society of America, 1963)
The obsoletus group of the subgenus Culicoides (Avaritia) is characterized and the four eastern North American species, which were previously included under the names obsoletus (Meigen) and chiopterus (Meigen), are described with keys for identification of males and females, and when known, the larvae and pupae. These four species are alachua n. sp. from Florida; chiopterus (Meigen) not abundant, probably widespread; obsoletus (Meigen) common and widespread; and sanguisuga (Coquillett), the important pest of eastern woodlands. The known distribution and breeding habitats of these species are discussed.

Studies of Populations of Adult and Immature Culicoides sanguisuga (Diptera:Ceratopogonidae) - H. Jamnback; Watthews, T. (Annals of the Entomological Society of America, 1963)
The method used in making landing-rate counts of Culicoides sanguisuga (Coquillett), an abundant pest of man in the Adirondacks, is described. Landing rates were low initially at a given site, and increased to a peak 10 to 12 minutes later. Counts were highest about an hour after sunrise and at sunset. In open meadows the counts generally declined to zero during the day between the morning and evening peaks. In moist, shaded sites, protected from the wind, landing rates diminished but punkies continued to be annoying during the middle of the clay. It is suggested that the rate of moisture loss is an important factor influencing the activity of the punkie, and a close relationship between the evaporation rate and landing rate is demonstrated. Seasonal changes in populations of C. sanguisuga, as indicated by landingrate counts and light-trap collections, were comparable. The first females appeared in late May. Populations then increased rapidly and reached peak numbers in late June and early July. The numbers diminished slowly thereafter and punkies were found only in small numbers after mid-August, although occasional specimens were present into October. C. sanguisuga overwinters in the larval stage. In 1961, larval populations were high in early May, then declined during the period of pupation from late May into early June. Numbers increased thereafter owing to the appearance of recently hatched small larvae. Prepupation population levels were reached by late July.

Effects of DDT As Used in Blackfly Larval Control, On Stream Arthropods - H. Jamnback; Eabry, H. H. (Journal of Economic Entomology, 1962)
A study of the possible cumulative effects of DDT on arthropods in streams treated for black fly larval control for 5 to 10 years was carried out in 1961. Statistical analysis based on 348 square-foot riffle samples taken in treated and untreated Adirondack Mountain streams indicates that a significantly smaller number of Ephemeroptera and Diptera were present in the regularly treated streams than in those untreated, and that the reduction in overall numbers of arthropods approached hut did not reach a significant level. The numbers of arthropods in 11 regularly treated streams sampled in 1950-52 and again in 1961 were about the same during the two sampling periods. The ratio of weight to volume to numbers of arthropods was about the same in regularly treated, irregularly treated, and untreated streams sampled in 1961.

Aerial spray tests against gypsy moth, Porthetria dispar (L.), in New York in 1960 showed that the compound Sevin® (1-naphthyl N-methylcarbamate) applied at the rate of 1 pound in 1 gallon of spray per acre was as effective as one-half pound of DDT in 1 gallon of spray per acre. In posts pray examinations, no egg masses were found in the test plots treated with either material. DDT at one-fourth pound in 1 gallon of spray per acre was not as effective in reducing egg masses. Prespray counts of egg masses ill the test plots were from 2,000 to 5,000 per acre. All materials were formulated in No.2 fuel oil.

The Effectiveness of Chemically Treated Screens in Killing Annoying Punkies, Culicoides obsoletus - H. Jamnback (Journal of Economic Entomology, 1961)
A method of testing and evaluating chemicals painted on window screens for control of punkies (Culicoules obsoletus (Meigen)) in dwellings consisted of using test chambers made from small cartons with one end covered by transparent plastic and the other end opaque. A screen was placed in the chamber between the light and dark ends. When the adults were introduced into the chamber at the dark end they quickly migrated to the light end passing through the treated screens. A 7.7% marathon-alcohol solution painted on screens killed Culicoides adults that had passed through them in less than an hour while a 10% DDT-oil solution required several hours before an appreciable mortality occurred. The malathion-painted screens were still highly effective in killing exposed punkies 21 days after treatment.

Control of Maple Leaf Cutter Paraclemensia acerifoliella, by Aerial Spraying - Connola, D. P. (Journal of Economic Entomology, 1960)
Paraclemensia acerifoliella (Fitch) caused serious damage to the foliage of sugar maple (Acer saccharum) in northern New York in 1958 and 1959. This Incurvariid is reported from a work already noticed [R.A.E., A 38 444] to have one generation a year; the adults emerge in May and deposit eggs in the leaf tissues, and the larvae mine the leaves for 10-14 days and then live as case-bearers until late August or September, when they fall to the ground and pupate in their cases. In a test in 1959, spraying with 2 U.S. gal. 9 per cent. DDT in fuel oil per acre from an aeroplane on 22nd-23rd July, when the larvae had ceased mining and before foliage damage was severe, gave good control. Examination on 15th August showed that leaf-cutting activity had not progressed since the treatment in sprayed stands, in which the foliage remained green, but had continued in unsprayed stands, in which the foliage was badly damaged and turning brown.

Field Evaluation of Ragweed Pollen Samplers - Ogden, E. C.; Raynor, G. S. (Journal of Allergy, 1960)
Our experiments have shown that pollen capture by the standard Durham sampler is determined by several factors, in addition to the concentration of pollen in the air. Aerodynamic factors are responsible for the greater collecting ability of the slide when its long axis is placed parallel to the air flow. Orientation of the slide with respect to wind direction may result in a 5 to 1 difference in catch between adjacent slides. It was also found that the amount of pollen captured is a function of the amount of air passing over the slide as well as the concentration of pollen in the air. Thus, an increase of 3 to 4 m.p.h. in the wind speed may give more than a 50 per cent increase in the pollen captured. Since wind speed normally increases with height, elevation of the sampler above the ground determines the wind speed to which the slide is exposed and affects the count. Tests of a filter sampler showed that this device was also affected by wind speed but in an opposite manner, since efficiency in capturing particles in the pollen size range decreases with increasing wind speed. Improvements in the standard sampling technique might include vane orientation of the slide sampler and measurement of the air flow which could be used to correct the count, or the use of round or square slides with similar correction of wind speed. Work is continuing on the development and evaluation of other sampling devices.

Restudy of the previously unassigned narrow conical genus Polylopia Clark discloses that it bears features which ally it most closely with the Scaphopoda. These are: (1) possession of a multi-layered wall, (2) presence of external longitudinal ribbing, and (3) truncation of the gradually tapering narrow cone. Characteristics diagnostic of other kinds of narrow conical shells as tentaculitids, styliolinids, hyolithids, conularids, pteropods, cephalopods, or worms are lacking and placement in any of these groups is not supported by the evidence at hand. The suggested placement of Polylopia in the Scaphopoda extends the stratigraphic range of this group in North America back to the Middle Ordovician.

Control of Salt-Marsh Tabanuus Larvae with Granulated Insecticides - H. Jamnback; Wall, W. J. (Journal of Economic Entomology, 1957)
Experiments on the control of larvae of Tabanus spp. in salt marshes with granular formulations of insecticide were made on Long Island, New York, in 1955 and 1956. In 1955, granules of Attaclay or Diluex impregnated with dieldrin, aldrin, chlordane, heptachlor or DDT were applied by hand to 60-ft. square plots in salt marshes having high and relatively uniform populations of Tabanus larvae. Granules were used because they readily penetrate the dense marsh vegetation. Results were evaluated by a method in which the larvae are brought to the surface of cleared areas by the use of a pyrethrum spray [see next abstract]. Dieldrin was applied at dosages of 0.09-2.5 lb. per acre and was the most effective of the insecticides tested [cf. R.A.E., B 45 116]. No larvae could be found in plots treated with the higher dosages (0.6 Ib. or more) after ten days, or in any of the plots after 32 days, when control plots yielded 14.9 larvae per sq. yard. DDT was the least effective insecticide, giving poor control in 28 days at 2 Ib. per acre. The addition of 5 per cent. urea as a stabiliser to granules of 30/40 mesh Attaclay with 2.5 per cent. dieldrin, which was tried in 1956. did not appear to influence effectiveness.

First Record of Simulium (Eusimulium) congareenarum (D. & S.) from New York, with Descriptions of the Male, Female, Pupa and Larva - H. Jamnback (Annals of the Entomological Society of America, 1957)
Twenty-three species of black flies have been recorded from New York State (Stone and Jamnback, 1955). In 1955 a hitherto unrecorded species was collected on Long Island, increasing the number to twenty-four. A redescription of the female and first descriptions of the male, pupa and larva of this species are presented below. The characters used in the descriptions are discussed in the publication cited above.

Sampling Methods Used in Estimating Larval Populations of Salt-Marsh Tabanids - Wall, W. J.; H. Jamnback (Journal of Economic Entomology, 1957)
Two methods of estimating populations of Tabanid larvae in salt-marsh sod were compared on Long Island, New York, in 1954-56. The first was bringing the larvae to the surface of a cleared area at low tide by spraying it twice at an interval of five minutes with a 1: 19 dilution of the New Jersey larvicide. This is a concentrate consisting of 66 per cent. kerosene or similar petroleum distillate, 0.07 per cent. pyrethrins, 0.5 per cent. sodium lauryl sulfate and 33.5 per cent. water [cf. R.A.E., B 23 205]. It was used at 1 U.S. gal. diluted emulsion per sq. yd. About 87 per cent. of the larvae coming to the surface in 60 minutes under its influence did so in the first 40 minutes. Limited tests indicated that O.5 oz. 10 per cent. γ BHC (lindane) in 1 U.S. gal. water [cf. 45 116] was about a; effective as the New Jersey larvicide, and a suspension of a wettable powder of pyrethrum and sulfoxide [1, 2-methylenedioxy-4-(2-(octylsulphinyl)propyl)ben-zene] somewhat more effective. The second method was cutting foot-square samples of sod and drying them in a Berlese funnel, so that larvae driven out in the drying process fell into a jar of marsh water. This water was examined every clay or two days. The samples were 1 1/2 ins. thick, as experiments in which plugs 8 1/2 ins. thick were cut into slices and these were examined separately showed that virtually all the larvae recovered were from the top 1 1/2 ins., even in winter.

Intricacy of Applied Stratigraphic Nomenclature - Fisher, D. W. (The Journal of Geology, 1956)
Failure to employ stratigraphie terms, as set forth in the Stratigraphic Code, has resulted in a situation perplexing to both professional and student geologists. To demonstrate that multiform usage is illogical and confusing, examples are presented from the Paleozoic section in New York State to show the varying ways in which the term "formation," fundamental in stratigraphy, has been used. Formation should be used only for lithogenetic (rock) units on geologic maps. Closer adherence to the Stratigraphie Code is advocated, in order to stabilize and clarify stratigraphy. If it is necessary to revise the Stratigraphie Code in the light of recent techniques in stratigraphy, the opinions of the current American Commission on Stratigraphie Nomenclature should be obtained.

Nature and Origin of Pyrite Deposits of St. Lawrence and Jeffersion Counties, New York - Prucha, J. J. (Economic Geology, 1956)
In St. Lawrence and Jefferson Counties, New York, there are 19 known occurrences of pyrite concentration of sufficient magnitude to warrant consideration as possible sources of sulfur. The important deposits occur in a belt about 35 miles long and three to four miles wide extending northeast from the vicinity of Antwerp. This belt lies within the Grenville Low-lands region of the northwest Adirondacks, southeast of the St. Lawrence River.The bedrock is principally Precambrian Grenville metasediments and associated granitic rocks, but abundant small outliers of flat-lying Cambrian Potsdam sandstone occur throughout the region. The rocks of the isoclinally folded Grenville series have a marked foliate structure parallel to the northeast regional trend of the lithologic units and major folds, and generally dip northwest within the pyrite belt. The Grenville series is 15,000-16,000 feet thick in the Lowlands region.The earliest pyrite mining in the region was in 1883-4 at the Stella mine; it ceased in 1921, at which time about 600,000 long tons of concentrates averaging about 40 percent sulfur had been produced. Pyrite and lesser amounts of pyrrhotite are essentially the only sulfides present. The deposits occur in rusty-weathering pyritic gneisses, which are essentially chloritic and graphitic quartz-feldspar-mica gneisses containing more or less disseminated pyrite. The ore veins represent concentrations of pyrite within the rusty gneisses and occur as thin sheets parallel to the gneissic foliation. Thirteen analyses indicate a sulfur content from 20.2 to 35.6 percent, and average 25.6 percent sulfur.The pyrite of the ores crystallized later than the gangue minerals, with the possible exception of sericite, and partially replaces them, chlorite being the most readily replaced. The graphite content of the ores characteristically parallels increases in the pyrite content.The pyrite deposits are considered to be concentrations of iron sulfides formed from inherent constituents of the parent sediments from which the rusty gneisses were derived. It is believed that the parent sediments were argillaceous sandstones containing abundant organic impurities and some intercalated calcareous layers. The late-stage formation of abundant chlorite and the evident mobilization and recrystallization of sulfides and graphite well after the period of metamorphism are attributed to the circulation of aqueous solutions.

More Piked Whales from Southern North Atlantic - Moore, J. C.; Palmer, R. S. (Journal of Mammalogy, 1955)
Several years ago the stranding of a rare species of whale on the Florida Keys stimulated one of us to attempt to discover just what ranges of marine mammals could be shown to extend into Florida waters. When the results of this investigation were recorded (Moore, 1953), one of the interesting items revealed was the occurrence of the little piked whale, Balaenoptera acutorostrata, in the Gulf of Mexico. This midget member of the finback family of the whalebone whales was known before this to occur only as far south as Long Beach (lat. 39°30′ N.), New Jersey, where one stranded in the fall of 1866 (Rhoads, 1903). Its previously known range on the eastern continental shelf of North America, Anderson (1946) has succinctly described as, “… rare in Baffin Bay, common on South Greenland coast and in Davis Strait, and on Labrador and Newfoundland coasts; [occurs in] Gulf of St. Lawrence, and south to New York and New Jersey.” Jonsgaard's (1951) reference to a record from Cape Hatteras is a misinterpretation. This indicates that off the eastern North American coast it was known to be common between 70° and 50° north latitude and to occur south to about 40° until our above-mentioned report extended this south to just below 25°. This southernmost record of the species for the North Atlantic Ocean was based upon the February, 1949, stranding of an adult piked whale in the Florida Keys. A further extension of the animal's known range up into the Gulf of Mexico at 30° latitude was reported on the basis of an adult's skeleton from near Spring Creek, Florida.
