E. Johnson, formerly Director of the Roosevelt Wildlife Forest Experiment Station. It was Dr. Johnson's desire to have a study of the ornithology' of the northern boundary of the State, with emphasis upon the ecological aspects. It is hoped that the results obtained may in some measure fulfill Dr. Johnson's wishes. The i)aper is not intended to be an exhaustive treatise on all birds ever recorded along the northern boundary of the State. It deals mainly with the summer visitants, including those late spring and early fall migrants which happened to be encountered. The few records of casual or accidental visitors, based mainly upon references in tile literature, are confined principally to the summer season. Plumage descriptions of the birds have been largely omitted, since these are available in any standard work. However, where certain markings or actions of a species have particularly impressed the author as being helpful to the observer in identification, these have been incorporated in the discussion. \\niile a few notes on the economic bearing of certain species are included, this subject has not been emphasized. \'alid conclusions on the local economic relations of the species would have entailed far more detailed study than time and facilities permitted, and could not possibly liaxe covered the geographic extent it was desired to include. The author is deeply grateful to the late Dr. C. E. Johnson for his valuable suggestions and imstinting practical help in supplying all possible facilities for prosecuting the study, up to shortly before his death ; to ]\Ir. W. A.

ARE STATE CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTIONS THINGS OF THE PAST? THE INCREASING ROLE OF THE CONSTITUTIONAL COMMISSION IN STATE CONSTITUTIONAL CHANGE* ROBERT F WILLIAMS** Increasing use of the constitutional commission as an auxiliary device for initiating both major and minor changes is one of the most significant developments in the procedure of modernizing state constitutions. Constitutional commissions were developed initially, and have been used primarily, as auxiliary staff arms of state legislative assemblies. Their principal function has been to provide expert advice on constitutional problems and issues and to propose and draft amendments, revisions, and even entire constitutions. The 1968 Florida Constitution was the first state organic law to accord constitutional status to the commission as a formal method of proposing constitutional change.

  • Sodus Bay Wayne County, New York Joseph C
    1 Sodus Bay Wayne County, New York Joseph C. Makarewicz and Matthew J. Nowak The College at Brockport, State University of New York January 2010 Sodus Bay is one of Lake Ontario’s major embayments separated from the lake by a 7,500-foot long barrier beach. The bay is located in Wayne County, New York, and is 4.4 miles in length and 2.4 miles across. This major point of access to Lake Ontario contains 12 marinas, 13 waterfront restaurants, 2 public access sites, a public beach, and a sailing school. The 46- mi2 Sodus Bay watershed is composed of land that is 30% agriculture, 4% developed land, 61% forest, and 4% wetlands. First Creek, Second Creek, Third Creek, Sodus Creek West, Sodus Creek East (Glenmark Creek), and Clark Creek empty into this bay. Sodus Bay has nuisance algae and macrophytes Sodus Bay, New York which can cause beach closings. This short report provides a synopsis of data collected monthly from May through September (2003 to 2009) on the water quality of Sodus Bay and the lakeside (swimmable depth) of Lake Ontario near the bay. Phosphorus is of concern as it stimulates the growth of plants, causing blooms of algae such as Cladophora. Both lakeside and creek total phosphorus (TP) levels exceeded the NYSDEC ambient guideline of 20 µg P/L for phosphorus concentration. Average TP levels (Fig. 1a) in the lakeside waters (43.9+10.4 µg P/L) were slightly higher than Sodus Bay concentrations (33.2+5.3 µg P/L) while bay soluble reactive phosphorus (SRP) levels (6.6+0.9 µg P/L) were similar to lakeside concentrations (7.6+3.4 µg P/L).

Wetlands are identified and delineated on aerial photographs with these data transferred to base maps at a scale of 1:24,000 for the coterminous United States (1:63,360 for Alaska). To date, wetland maps have been prepared for over 95 % of the coterminous United States and about 40% of Alaska. Nationwide, the focus of the inventory has been on producing these maps and digital data which can be used by the FWS, other government agencies, organizations, private industry, and the general public to locate wetlands when considering land development and natural resource conservation initiatives.
