For more information, please contact [email protected]. INFORMATION TO USERS This reproduction was made from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technology has been used to photograph and reproduce this document, the quality of the reproduction is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help clarify markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark, it is an indication of either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, duplicate copy, or -copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed. For blurred pages, a good image of the page can be found in the adjacent frame. If copyrighted materials were deleted, a target note will appear listing the pages in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photographed, a definite method of “sectioning” the material has been followed. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand comer of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. For illustrations that cannot be satisfactorily reproduced by xerographic means, photographic prints can be purchased at additional cost and inserted into your xerographic copy. These prints are available upon request from the Dissertations Customer Services Department. 5. Some pages in any document may have indistinct print. In all cases the best available copy has been filmed. Un* ms International 300 N.

Garvin, Curator New Hampshire Historical Society ujj/sttZ /3, Date ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The origin of this dissertation Pies in London in the summer of 1971, when I enrolled in a course taught by a local historian on the history of that city. Gilbert Lawrence's interests were in both the place and the people; his presentation was organized geographically and rich in the details of daily life. He was especially interested in the remnants of historic London that had survived, and his course included plenty of walking tours through alleys and into courtyards to see bits of the past. I was somewhat surprised to find myself, over a decade later, doing similar things in a very different place. Lawry's enthusiasm and encouragement prompted me to seek a career as historian and since then I have been much influenced by his basic approach to studying the past. Throughout my years in graduate school I received fruitful advice and guidance from many professors. Through courses and individual conference- Darrett B. Rutman, mere than any other, helped me to understand the process of doing history. His comments and support have been especially important in bringing this dessertation to completion. I want to also acknowledge the other members of my dissertation committee, whose thoughtful questions and suggestions have made this a better work. There are many people at Strawbery Banke, Inc. to whom I am deeply indebted. I drew on the deed research of several people, including Cindy Brockway, Marcia Rollison, Dorothy Jones, Peg Irish and Steven Pendery. Jean Bott deserves special mention for her persistence in tracking the complicated titles for riverfront lots. Several of my colleagues provided assistance, both directly and indirectly, including Darlyne Franzen, Jim Coffey, Ellen Merry, Pat Riley, Rindy Hilton and Alison Fleming. Special thanks go to Elaine Leduc and Sharon Frew for their typing skills and patience with last minute changes. I could not have completed this work without the steadfast support of fellow historian James Vaughan. As director of Strawbery Banke he saw value in this study and encouraged me to undertake it and to persist with it. Through his own work he added insights to my understanding of the topic, and in many subtle ways I drew on his knowledge in developing my interpretation. Finally, I want the thank my family: my son Justin, who put up with many evenings when his daddy had to work; my son Brian, whose birth two weeks before my dissertation defense helped me to keep things in proper perspective; and my wife Anita, who was with me throughout. She gave me constant support, demanded that I continue when I thought about quitting, and put up with me when my mind was on the dissertation and my body was at home. Any congratulations I receive because of this work go equally to her.

  • Garden Ponds Jim Sherman
    Garden Ponds Jim Sherman Over the last year, I’ve spent a lot of time pondering. This happens when you’ve got a pond in your garden, and every moment sitting in slack-jawed amazement at all the life thriving in a few gallons of clear amber water is time well spent. My pond is a standard amorphous lumber-yard black-fiberglass prefab, eighteen inches deep in the center with a pair of ten-inch deep shelves molded along what wound up as the east and west ends of the pond, with a capacity of 125 gallons. If I had it to do over again, the financial bullet would have been bitten and a 200 (or more) gallon model purchased; still, even a small pond is one of the most rewarding furnishings a garden can have. A pond is also both a classroom for, and an affirmation of, the organic method of gardening. As the enthusiasm for water gardening grows, countless gardeners who “only wanted to kill the fleas” (or the fire ants, or the aphids) have learned from the fish floating belly-up among the lilies that pesticides kill much farther up the food chain than they realized. Meanwhile, gardeners who refrain from chemical poisons that kill (at least) fish and amphibians in addition to insects fall asleep to the sound of toads in lust, and waken with delight to the sight of gelled ropes of eggs streaming through the water and, later, hundreds of tiny black tadpoles tumbling about in the pond. Toads are the most immediate payoff of having a pond in your organic garden.

  • A Watershed Is an Area of Land
    A watershed is an area of land through which rainwater drains by flowing across, through, or under the soil surface to a common low point, typically a stream, river, lake, or ocean. Each drainage system is its own watershed, and all watersheds are connected across the landscape and flow to the lowest point. CHAPTER 2 OVERVIEW OF WATERSHED SYSTEMS Alabama Watershed Stewards Handbook 10819 Overview of Watershed Systems In this chapter you will learn about the following: § watersheds and how they function § watershed hydrology and the water cycle § natural features found in watersheds § streams and riparian zones § the different ways watersheds are used § watersheds in Alabama § how Alabama uses watersheds Figure 2.1.

  • The Unique Hydrology of the Souris River Basin: a Prairie Pothole Region
    The Unique Hydrology of the Souris River Basin: A Prairie Pothole Region Hydrology is the scientific study of how water moves and is distributed across land. The effects of rainfall and snowmelt on river flows and reservoir levels are part of the unique hydrology that characterizes the Souris River basin. The Souris River basin is part of the Prairie Pothole Region, which stretches across Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba in Canada, and extends into North and South Dakota, Iowa, Minnesota, and Montana in the United States. What makes this region unique is the presence of shallow wetlands, or potholes, that were left behind during the last glacial period in North America. This pothole topography can be found across the majority of the Souris River basin. Kettles and Kames Fill-and-Spill Hydrology Shallow potholes, called kettles, are sometimes surrounded Under normal conditions, much of the watershed does not by irregularly-shaped earth mounds called kames. Kettles contribute to the Souris River directly because the kettle often contain sediment or vegetation, and can be dry lakes can store water and keep it from reaching the river. during summer months. During the spring snowmelt, they However, with large amounts of precipitation from snow can fill with water and form small kettle lakes. Kettle lakes or rain, the small kettle lakes can fill and expand outwards are often isolated from streams and rivers, and the water in until they begin to spill into one another, and eventually into these kettle lakes usually reduces over time through the Souris River.

  • Assessment of Drainwater Evaporation Ponds As Waterfowl Habitat in The
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Ned H. Euliss, Jr. for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Wildlife Science presented on October 11, 1989 Title: Assessment of Drainwater Evaporation Ponds as Waterfowl Habitat in the San Joaquin Valley, California.7-'\ V)( Redacted for privacy Abstract approved: Robet . Jarvis During 1982 through 1984 on drainwater evaporation ponds in the Tulare Lake Drainage District (TLDD), California I examined: 1) diets of northern pintails (Anas acuta), green-winged teal (A. crecca), northern shovelers (A. clypeata), and ruddy ducks (Oxyura iamaicensis), 2) the ecology and standing crop of aquatic invertebrates and plants, and 3) the proximate composition of waterfowl carcasses in the southern San Joaquin Valley, California. The intent was to assess the quality of drainwater evaporation ponds as waterfowl habitat. Animal foods dominated the diets of all waterfowl species examined with midge (Chironomidae) larvae, water boatmen (Corixidae), rotifers (Rotatoria), and copepods (Copepoda) forming the bulk of the dietary biomass. Waterfowl diets were unique for each duck species and each bird opportunistically foraged on the most abundant foods given their behavioral and morphological attributes. Waterfowl foods produced in TLDD evaporation ponds came from species-poor assemblages of biota, dominated by aquatic invertebrates. The salt marsh corixid (Trichocorixa reticulata) and a midge (Tanypus cirodhausi) were the most abundant invertebrates, forming 44.9% and 51.4% respectively, of all biota (dry weights) sampled. Regression models constructed for the corixid and the midge indicted that electrical conductivity and julian date were important regulators of their populations in TLDD evaporation ponds. Proximate composition of waterfowl carcasses and diets differed among duck species and appeared to reflect unique requirements of each species life style.
