Item Notes on fishes observed about Pensacola, Florida, and Galveston, Texas, with description of new species.(1882) Jordan, D.S.; Gilbert, C.H.; Proceedings of the United States National MuseumThis paper provides an annotated list of 131 marine fishes recorded from Galveston, Texas and Pensacola, Florida, by David S. Jordan in March 1882. The list contains 47 species previously not reported from the Gulf coast of the United States, including 21 taxa that are described as new.Item Report on the coast fisheries of Texas.(1893) Stevenson, C.H.; Report U.S. Fisheries Commission. 1889 to 1891.A history of the oyster industry of Texas and a description of the oyster grounds, with an account of regulations affecting them.Item Neocene mollusca of Texas.(1895) Harris, G.D.; Bulletins of American PaleontologyNo abstract availableItem Galveston in nineteen hundred: the authorized and official record of the proud city of Southwest as it was before and after the hurricane of September 8, and a logical forecast of its future.(W.

The geology of the field and the nature of the subsidence are discussed. It is concluded that subsidence was caused by the extraction of oil, water, gas, and sand from beneath the surface.Item Natural history and conservation of the redfish and other commercial sciaenids on the Texas coast.(1928) Pearson, J.C.; Manuscript submitted to Bulletin of the Bureau of FisheriesThe natural histories of the three leading foodfishes of coastal Texas- the redfish (Sciaenops ocellata), the black drum (Pogonias cromis), and the spotted seatrout (Cynoscion nebulosus)- have been little understood in any section the distribution of these species. Along the Texas coast serious debates often arise as to the habits of the redfish, drum and spotted trout, with reference to the location of young and adult fish.Item Status of oysters, past and present(Texas Game, Fish and Oyster Commission, 1929) Texas Game, Fish and Oyster Commission; Review of Texas Wild Life and Conservation.

The photographs have been organized and shelved by U.S.G.S. quadrangle making it easier to find photographs containing a certain geographical feature. The following quadrangles are included: Anahuac Quadrangle; Bacliff Quadrangle; Caplen Quadrangle; Christmas Point Quadrangle; Cove Quadrangle; Flake Quadrangle; Friendswood Quadrangle; Frozen Point Quadrangle; Galveston Quadrangle; High Island Quadrangle; Highlands Quadrangle; Hitchcock Quadrangle; Hoskins Mound Quadrangle; Lake Como Quadrangle; Lake Stephenson Quadrangle; La Porte Quadrangle; League City Quadrangle; Monroe City Quadrangle; Mont Belvieu Quadrangle; Morgans Point Quadrangle; Moss Bluff Quadrangle; Oak Island Quadrangle; Oyster Creek Quadrangle; Port Bolivar Quadrangle; San Luis Pass Quadrangle; Sea Isle Quadrangle; Shiloh Quadrangle; Smith Point Quadrangle; Texas City Quadrangle; Umbrella Point Quadrangle; Virginia Point QuadrangleItem The helminths parasitic in the amphibia and reptilia of Houston, Texas, and vicinity(1932) Harwood, P.D.; Proceedings of the United States National MuseumDescribes the parasitic flatworms found in amphibians and reptiles in the Houston area.Item Forest associations in the uplands of the lower Gulf Coastal Plain (Longleaf pine belt).(1933) Pessin, L.J.; EcologyDescription of the types of forest communities occurring along the Coastal Plain from east Texas to Georgia. Forest types are related to soils and climate. Successional relationships are provided.Item Mechanics of formation of salt domes with special references to Gulf Coast salt domes of Texas and Louisiana.(1933) Barton, D.C.; American Association of Petroleum Geologists BulletinNo abstract availableItem The problem of stream pollution in Texas with special reference to salt water from the oil fields.(1934) Wiebe, A.H.; Burr, J.G.; Faubion, H.E.; Transactions of the American Fisheries SocietyThe problem of stream pollution in Texas with special reference to salt water from oil fields. The salt water from the oil-fields in Texas constitutes a real menace to the aquatic resources of the State. This menace can be controlled by impounding these salt waters and by discharging them into the streams at such time when they are able to carry the load. MgCl2 and AgCl2 have a greater lethal effect upon fish than NaCl. At high concentrations 20,000 ppm NaCl kills fish more rapidly than CaCl2 of the same concentration. Fish apparently killed in high concentrations of NaCl can be revived. Dilution of the salt water to conform to the limits for total salinity set by law will in all probability render the water harmless for fish life.Item A new Tetrarhynchid larva from Galveston Bay.(1935) Chandler, A.C.; Journal of ParasitologyA new species of worm of the genus Otobothrium was found in spotted sea trout, Cynoscion nebulosus caught in Galveston Bay, Texas.Item Parasites of fishes in Galveston Bay.(1935) Chandler, A.C.; Proceedings of the United States National MuseumNo abstract availableItem The significance of the Mississippi River drainage for biological conditions in the Northern Gulf of Mexico.(1937) Riley, G.A.; Journal of Marine ResearchPlankton collections and bottom hauls made during the 1935 expedition of the Atlantis to the Gulf of Mexico suggested that there is a zone of high productivity in the shallow water area near the mouth of the Mississippi, and since the effect of river outflow on ocean life is a phase of marine biology which has not yet received adequate attention, further investigation seemed desirable. The present work was therefore undertaken during the 1937 cruise of the Atlantis, jointly sponsored by the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute and Yale University (Bingham Oceanographic Laboratory), in an attempt to determine whether or not the incoming nutrients from the Mississippi have an observable quantitative effect on plant growth and nutrient matter present in the Gulf of Mexico. The Mississippi River carries large quantities of nutrient salts into the Gulf of Mexico. The quantity of phosphate per unit volume is approximately four times as much as the amount found in the sea water of the surrounding region. In the Gulf there is a superficial zone of high phosphorus content around the mouth of the Mississippi, extending from Mobile Bay westward to Longitude 91 . Evidence is presented to show that this phosphorus is largely derived from the Mississippi and that the soluble phosphate of the river is more important in this respect than that in organic combination. There is a zone of high phytoplankton content near the river which roughly coincides with the area of high phosphorus. A causal connection between the two is indicated. It is suggested on purely theoretical grounds that some other nutrient which is discharged from the Mississippi in the same manner as phosphate is a limiting factor in this region. A few notes are presented on the distribution of copper in the Gulf. It was present in all samples analyzed in both soluble and combined form. In deep water there appears to be a slight accumulation of soluble copper in the hypothalassa.Item Notes on the mammals of Galveston and Mustang Islands, Texas.(1938) Baker, R.H.; Lay, D.W.; Journal of MammalogyThe rodent fauna of two Texas coastal islands, Galveston Island and Mustang Island, is compared. Spread of exotic rodents at these seaports is linked to rainfall.
