New Features of Hang-Chia-Hu Area

Hang-chia-hu Area** in Chekiang Province is renowned as one of the highest grain yielding regions in our country. It is also a major base for producing silkworm cocoons. Having experienced the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution and the deepening movement to criticize Lin Piao and Confucius, this affluent plain area has become even more thriving and picturesque. Over the vast expanse of land, mulberry trees have grown into forests and various kinds of manure are piled up like little hills. On the surface of the crisscrossing waterways row after row of water peanuts grow close upon each other. And green ponds are swarming with jumping fish. Everywhere is a picture of vitality.

The vegetation record of a mid-Wisconsin interstadial in northwest Georgia

At Green Pond, a small permanent sinkhole pond in Bartow County, northwest Georgia, organic silty clays are buried by up to 2 m of colluvium. Pollen from the clays shows that a Pinus-Quercus-herb (pine-oak-herb) flora was present before 29,630 radiocarbon yr ago. It is interpreted as the product of a xeric woodland with prairie-like openings. Between 29,630 and approximately 25,000 BP, pollen of Pinus and herbs was sparse; Quercus and Carya (hickory) predominated in the pollen rain. There were few other deciduous trees. Oak-hickory forest is thought to have been present. From 25,000 to 23,000 BP, more diverse forest with pines and some Picea (spruce) became established. At the same time Taxodium (swamp cypress) was locally abundant, as were shrubs characteristic of Coastal Plain swamps. Some time after 23,000 BP, the pond basin filled with colluvium and no further sedimentation took place, other than thin muck sedimented on the bottom of the present Green Pond. The sediments were first thought to be of Sangamon age because the pollen sequence has many of the characteristics of an interglacial cycle, but the radiocarbon dates correlate them firmly with the Farmdalian Interstadial. A comparison with known Farmdalian sites is made, but the important sites are in the northern United States and adjacent Canada, too far away to make a useful comparison of the details of pollen diagrams from the two areas. At another Bartow County pond site, Bob Black Pond ( Watts, 1970), a flora predominantly of pine with spruce and oak was present immediately before 22,900 BP and a strikingly cold flora with jack-pine, spruce and northern herbs followed immediately after. The radiocarbon dates indicate that the sedimentary sequence at Bob Black Pond immediately follows that at Green Pond.

Distribution of bars in the South Platte-Platte River depends on texture of the bed load. Coarse, poorly sorted sediment favors formation of longitudinal bars, and finer grained, better sorted materials form transverse bars. The relative proportion of transverse to longitudinal bars increases downstream, following the river's tendency to fractionate its load into finer sizes downstream. This is accompanied by an increase in the ratio of planar cross-stratification to horizontal stratification and a decrease in cross-channel topographic relief expressed as a bed-relief index.Relative abundances of planar cross-stratification and horizontal stratification, as well as bed-relief indices were measured in sandstones and conglomerates of the Lower Silurian Shawangunk Conglomerate, Green Pond Conglomerate, and Tuscarora Sandstone in New Jersey and Pennsylvania. These formations display downslope trends similar to those of the South Platte and Platte Rivers, and, combined with paleocurrent, grain-size distribution, and other data, suggest that the coarse eastern facies (Green Pond, Shawangunk) represent proximal braided stream deposits with longitudinal bars that grade westward and northwestward into finer grained distal braided stream sediments (Tuscarora) characterized by transverse bars.

UNUSUAL MONOMIXIS IN TWO SALINE ARIZONA PONDS1

Red Pond and Green Pond are shallow, saline pools in Apache County, Arizona, that stratify chemically during winter and circulate in midsummer. Stability is brought about by addition of dilute runoff and seep water to the surfaces; circulation occurs because evaporation increases the salinity of the upper waters and lowers the pond surfaces. Isothermy, dichothermy, mesothermy, and poikilotherny occur during the year. Winter stabilities are in excess of 200 g‐cm/cm2 in spite of anomalous temperature profiles and the shallow nature of the ponds.The waters are chloro‐carbonates derived by concentration from dilute waters relatively high in sulfate and carbonate. At the overturn, Red Pond and Green Pond have salinities of 22% and 11%. Phosphate concentrations are remarkably high—up to 500 mg/liter in Red Pond.Ctenocladus circinnatus is present in both ponds; this may be the fourth North American record for this green alga.

Structural Elements of Northeastern Appalachians

structures of central and east-central Pennsylvania include elements assigned to three epochs of folding--Taconic structures, dated in the late Ordovician; Acadian structures dated in the late Devonian; and folds of the terminal Paleozoic orogeny. Folds of the two older patterns can be traced northeastward from Susquehanna River through northwestern New Jersey and southeastern New York to Kingston on the Hudson and thence northward along the Hudson Valley toward Lake Champlain. The strike of the youngest Paleozoic folds does not follow this familiar pattern; instead, folds assigned to the so-called revolution extend generally east from the Susquehanna to the Hudson, crossing Delaware River between Hancock and Port Jervis, New York, and passing across the high Catskill Plateau. The trend of these late folds is essentially east-west where they cross the little folded mountains of the familiar Catskill-Kingston region; these small folds are entirely of Acadian age. In following this easterly trend, the terminal Paleozoic folds converge toward and cross structural patterns produced by the Taconic and Acadian orogenies and are themselves interrupted by the Lackawanna syncline or northern anthracite basin. It is believed that the strong northeast trend of the Lackawanna basin has Triassic dating; that the west border of this unusual structure is controlled by Triassic faulting; and that many matters previously regarded as arising from Paleozoic deformation are better assigned to the Triassic. It is suggested that the Green Pond syncline of New Jersey as well as the dominant course of Kittatinny Mountain from Delaware Watergap northeastward are both determined by Acadian rather than Appalachian folding.

Hamilton group along the Allegheny Front, Pennsylvania

INTRODUCTION This paper is the concluding number of three articles on the Hamilton group of Pennsylvania, which the author has read at successive meetings of the Paleontological Society. In 1932 the first paper, prepared jointly with Arthur B. Cleaves,1 was given. It covered the eastern part of the State from the Delaware Valley to the Susquehanna Valley and also included observations on, and correlations of, the Hamilton of the Green Pond Mountain region, New Jersey. In 1933 the author read the second article of the series,2 which described the group in central Pennsylvania from the Susquehanna Valley west into Fulton and eastern Huntingdon counties. The present article covers the remaining portion of the State where rocks of Hamilton age are known at the surface. It will be necessary first to review previous observations before taking up the new region. The four formations of the Hamilton group of eastern Pennsylvania are . . .

Saving the Scolopendrium Fern

The vicinity of Jamesville, Onondaga County, New York, is classic ground to both the geologist and the botanist. Across the outcropping Onondaga limestone on both sides of and above the present level of the valley of the Butternut creek and almost at right angles to the present north and south placement of the valley are the famous postglacial gorges caused by the eastward flow of the outlets of the postglacial Lake Onondaga. In 1807 Pursh discovered the Hart 's-tongue fern near Geddes, southwest of the city of Syracuse. In 1830, William Cooper found the fern at Chittenango Falls, a few miles southeast of Syracuse. Meanwhile the two localities where the fern was most abundant remained unknown until found by Lewis Foote in 1866 near Jamesville, and in the same year by J. A. Paine, Jr., at Little Lakes (Green pond and White or Blue lake), about a mile east of Jamesville. Two small bodies of water, Green lake (2 miles west of Jamesville) and Green pond (1 mile east of Jamesville) occupy the plunge basins of waterfalls along the course of the extinct postglacial rivers, the beds and gorges of which form such a conspicuous element of the local geology. It is probable that Rafinesque visited one

Notes on Scolopendrium vulgare Sm.

Some time ago an article was published on the status of Scolopendrium vulgare Sm. in New York State.1 Since the observations there recorded were made several interesting items have been noted. Station E, West White Lake Substation, has been covered with the blastings of quarrying operations. The writer was able to rescue some of the plants, a few of which were planted in the Jamesville Woods region. The remainder were sent upon request to Dr. McFarland at the University of Kentucky. While it is probable that the colony is entirely destroyed there is a possibility that a few plants may have survived as was apparently the case in the Split Rock region several years ago. A very careful survey of the region will be made as soon as the quarrying work ceases. The excavations are being continued along the ridge between this station and station C, the Green Pond Substation. Before the end of the season this colony will also be blasted out. Fortunately, through the recommendation of Dr. Homer D. House, State Botanist, the New York State Museum, of which Dr. John M. Clarke is director, came to the rescue and offered financial aid necessary to move all the plants in this colony to a place of safety. When the work was started it was seen that

The general geographic relations are shown in figure 1. The rocks are limestones, shales, conglomerates, quartzites and flagstones, ranging from Middle Cambrian to Middle Devonian in age. The harder members give rise to high rough ridges, of which the most prominent are Skunnemunk, Bearfort, Bellvale, Green Pond, Copperas, Kanouse and Bowling Green mountains. Greenwood lake lies in one of the principal valleys.The rocks are comprised in about nine formations, of which the distribution and structural relations are shown in plate 17. The uppermost member is a coarse conglomerate which constitutes the higher portions of. Skunnemunk and Bell vale mountains in New York and of Bearfort mountain in New Jersey. Its age is Middle Devonian. It is underlain by . . . This content is PDF only. Please click on the PDF icon to access.
