Report presents methods of calculating air resistance of airfoils under certain conditions of flow phenomena around the airfoil.

This document reports the presence of oil and gas in Palo Pinto County, Texas, as studied by the United States Geological Survey in the fall of 1914.

From introduction: "Result of a study of the spiny pocket mice in the collection of the Biological Survey, now numbering nearly 1,000 specimens, supplemented by about 130 in the United States National Museum and from various sources."

Discusses habits, economic status, morphology, variation, history, and specimens of North American rice rats. Provides a key and descriptions for species and subspecies.

Report discussing a series of fuel-testing investigations that U.S. Geological Survey began in 1904 for the purpose of analyzing and testing the coals and lignites in the United States in order to determine their fuel values and the most efficient methods of utilizing them for different purposes. Types of tests undertaken included chemical analyses, steaming tests, gas-producer tests, briquetting tests, coking tests, and washing tests of samples collected from the various coals fields of the country. Bulletins presenting the results of these investigations have been periodically published but as supply has run out, the Bureau of Mines has decided to compile the most important facts of these bulletins in one volume along with the results of all other briquetting investigatins undertaken by the government from July 1, 1904, to July 1, 1912.

Report discussing techniques for the mining of large masses of low-grade ores such as though found in Santa Rita, NM. It is hoped that a study of the methods used at Santa Rita will help engineers in other industries who may have to handle large masses of material.

Technical paper issued by the Bureau of Mines over studies on metallurgical coke. As stated in the introduction, "in this paper the attempt is made to summarize the history of coke making in the United States, to indicate the development of different methods and the modern types of ovens, and to point out the composition and physical properties of the metallurgical cokes produced in this country" (p. 5). This paper includes tables, illustrations, photographs, and a map.

Describes subfamilies, history, and generic names of the family Talpidae. Describes, lists locations, and provides a key for genera, species and subspecies.

Discusses geography, climate, agricultural practices, and crops of each life zone in New Mexico. Provides mammal, breeding bird, reptile, amphibian, and plant species list for each zone. Includes a life zone map.
