From summary: This report details the completion of geologic maps of the Carrizo Mountains and the Capitol Reef and Red House Cliffs areas.

Report describing the design, function, application, and future plans of portable scintillation counters in geology. From abstract: "A small, light, portable scintillation counter, primarily intended for geologic field use, has been designed and is now commercially manufactured."

Report discussing a magnetic survey of Castle Valley, Utah aimed at determining how the Round Mountain plug was fed. The location and topography of the area, geology, magnetic investigations, and conclusions are discussed.

Report explaining the theory behind diffusion's effects on isotopic abundance ratios in a sphere.

Report discussing navajoite, hydrated vanadium pentoxide, which was a new vanadium oxide found at a mine on the Navajo Indian Reservation, Apache County, Arizona. Information regarding its occurrences, physical properties, chemical analysis, and X-ray diffraction data are included.

Report discussing the investigation of uranium minerals, which were discovered in the Poison Basin area, Carbon County, Wyoming, on October 15, 1953. Information regarding the geographic setting, geologic setting, stratigraphy of the area, uranium occurrences of the area, origin of the uranium, and significance of the area are included.

Report discussing a study conducted to determine if dry distillation of uraniferous coals and shales would form volatile uranium compounds. The types of carbonaceous samples and experimental methods used are described, and a summary with conclusions is included.

Report discussing the geology of the High Climb Pegmatite located in Custer County, South Dakota. The main focus of this report is the zones of this area that contain "widely varied mineral assemblages."
