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.

A Belemnite from a Mississippian Boulder of the Caney Shale - Flower, R. H. (Journal of Paleontology, 1945)
The new genus and species Eobelemnites caneyense is described from a specimen from a boulder, evidently Mississippian in age, from the Johns Valley (Caney) shale of Oklahoma. Preservation of this form is such as to permit a close study of the phragmocone, bringing out for the first time the presence of such structures as the septal furrow and cameral deposits in belemnoids. These features persist into much higher forms. Comparison with other belemnoids is made difficult owing to uncertainty as to the relative values of the several classifications proposed, and owing to uncertainties as to structural features of some crucial Mesozoic species. However, Eobelemnites appears to unite the Protobelemnitidae and Eubelemnitidae if the criteria of these groups are valid. The genus shows no features which present a clue to the precise origin of the Coleoidea, but it indicates that the coleoids were differentiated much earlier than was previously believed.

Oil and Gas Developments in New York During 1941 - Hartnagel, C. A. (American Institute of Mining and Metallurgical Engineers Transactions, 1942)
During 1941, the total production of crude oil in New York state was 5,185,000 bbl. This represents a small increase over the average for the past five years. From 1921, when the annual production of the state amounted to only 988,000 bbl., there was a regular annual increase in production (excepting one or two years) until the 5,000,000-bbl. mark was reached in 1937, After more than 20 years of oil recovery by flooding methods, it was generally believed, until a few months ago, that the rate of production was nearly at its peak and within a few years the fields would experience a gradual decline as the thicker sands became exhausted and the thinner ones could be worked only at increasing costs. As a result of the present emergency, however, unusual efforts are being made, in spite of higher costs of operation, to increase the output of Pennsylvania grade oil, to which the New York product belongs. Since most of any increased production would be obtained by flooding, and since floods travel slowly, no large increase in production can be expected for some months to come. During the first year, 10 or 15 per cent increase could be obtained, but maximum production, an increase of perhaps 40 per cent, could not be expected until some time during the second or third year. In the Allegany fields, which account for two thirds of the state's oil production, 1246 wells, including water-intake wells, were drilled during the year; 390 more than in the preceding year and 590 more than in 1939. It is evident that much of the best oil territory has already been developed. As producers move toward edge properties and thinner sands, returns will be smaller, whereas costs remain the same or, under war conditions, become higher. It is estimated that at least 60 million barrels of oil is in sight and will be produced from the thicker sands by present recovery methods. In the thinner sands and edge properties, some 35 million additional barrels can be produced at a profit only if prices become higher. In view of the fact that there is little hope of finding new oil pools in New York, one of the future problems of the oil producer will be to obtain adequate returns for increased production costs. The year started with a posted price of $2.15 per barrel of crude. There were five successive price increases until the high of the year was reached at $2.98 on Aug. 14. Eight days later the Office of Price Administration directed that the price be reduced to the June level of $2.75 a barrel, which remained in effect to the end of the year. With rising costs of operation, it is feared that many of the smaller properties cannot continue production unless the Federal price cut is revoked. During the year, Allegany Refiners Inc., a local enterprise founded in 1933, with plant at Bolivar, western Allegany County, increased its refining capacity from 1000 to 1500 bbl. daily. At the same time equipment was added to make the plant a complete lubricating-oil refinery, including facilities for the refining of wax into the finished product. Previous to the enlargement, it was necessary to sell the wax

Petroleum and Natural Gas in New York in 1940 - Hartnagel, C. A. (American Institute of Mining and Metallurgical Engineers Transactions, 1941)
The production of petroleum in New York in 1940, totaling 4,999,000 bbl., was only slightly under the amount produced in each of the previous three years. The year 1940 started auspiciously with a posted price on Jan. I of $2.75 a barrel. Four price reductions, beginning in May, resulted in August in a low of $1.85 a barrel, after which two increases brought the year's closing price to $2.15 a barrel. The favorable crude price at the beginning of the year stimulated an increased drilling program, especially in the water-flooding districts. In the Allegany County region, which accounts for about two-thirds of the state's oil production, 886 wells, including water-intake wells, were drilled; 200 more than in the preceding Year. During the closing months of the Year there was a marked decline in the number of wells drilled. The unfavorable position in which the industry found itself before midsummer was due largely to the loss of export markets for its high-grade lubricants, constituting approximately 25 per cent of its business. As a result of this situation, runs to refineries were curtailed as much as 30 Per cent at the middle of the Year. Improvement in market conditions toward the end of the Year found the stocks of available crude at an almost record low. Deep DRILLING with the gradual exhaustion of some of the important natural and flood-oil-produc-ing areas of the Allegany and Bradford pools, overproduction will not be a serious problem in the future. The possibility of finding new territory or deeper producing sands has been further lessened by the drilling of additional deep wells for gas in and about the present oil fields. Many of these wells drilled to the Oriskany sand-stone were over 4000 ft. deep and have tested the entire thickness of the Devonian formation, the upper 2000 ft. of which contain all the important oil-producing strata in the state. Water-flooding It is thus evident that the problem of the New york oil producers is not one of find-ing new supplies but of obtaining as much 6 oil as possible from the old developed fields that during the 60 years of their life have 1 produced I 3o,ooo,ooo bbl. of oil. Although a few floods were in operation before I9I9, when the production of oil by flooding was 1 made legal, the output for that year amounted to only 85I,000 bbl. From 1919 I on there has been an almost constant increase, which during the past four years has averaged well above 5,000,000 bbl. annually. During the last 22 years, which constitutes the period of important flooding operations, 651337,000 bbl. of oil have been produced in the state. Careful estimates indicate that between one-third and one-half of the oil fields are being flooded or are already watered out. Some of the flooded and watered-out areas include territory with unusually thick sands, which were highly productive during the early history of the fields. From a recent study of operations in the New York oil fields, it is estimated that about 65,ooo,oo bbl. of oil

Oil and Gas Developments in New York for 1938 - Newland , D. H.; Hartnagel, C. A. (American Institute of Mining and Metallurgical Engineers Transactions, 1939)
The market for Pennsylvania grade showed a drop both in demand and in prices, which reacted unfavorably on New York oil production, all of which comes under that classification. The output for the year in New York amounted to 5,045,200 bbl. The production in 1937 was 5,478,000 bbl., the largest in any year for the last half century or more. Falling prices, of course, affected new drilling. They declined from $2.20 a barrel, which was posted at the start, to $1.68 in the final months of 1938. With this came a reduction in the amount of oil that would be accepted by the refineries operating in the New York fields. Conditions therefore have combined to halt, at least temporarily, the growth of oil production in the state, which had experienced a steady gain for the last 15 years or more, the yield having risen from less than 1,000,000 bbl. to the round total of 5,500,000 bbl. in 1937. Practically all the oil now obtained is from old, developed fields. No new pools have been found in the last quarter of a century or more. The larger share comes from flooding the sands. Although there are many wells that still produce without the aid of the water drive, they are small and for the most part are pumped periodically. Of late, new drilling has been restricted mainly to that required to maintain existing flood projects. Because of the high initial cost and time required to put a flood into production, the depressed condition of the market has been a serious handicap financially, and, further, has been an unfavorable influence on the planning of operations to secure the maximum recovery of the oil. Unless market conditions improve, it is certain that the effects will be shown in the yield for some time to come. Gas Developments Drilling was active in the southwestern area, chiefly in Allegany and Steuben Counties, and some notable wells were brought in that tapped the Oriskany sandstone. Altogether 42 holes were put down in the two counties, of which 31 were listed as producers and 11 were dry. The new wells gave an initial daily flow of 239,000 M cu. ft. At the close of
