  • THE AGGIE CREEK METEORITE from SEWARD PENINSULA, ALASKA* Enwann P
    THE AGGIE CREEK METEORITE FROM SEWARD PENINSULA, ALASKA* Enwann P. Hnwonnsox, U. S. National Museum, Washington, D.C. This iron meteorite, reported to weigh about 95 pounds (43.18 kg.), was found on Aug. ll, 1942, during a gold dredging operation in Aggie Creek, Alaska, (Lat.640 53' N., Long. 163010, W.) by Mr. F. K. Dent of the Council Dredging Co., Nome, Alaska. The first information that the united states National Museum had of this meteorite came from Mr. Eskil Anderson of the university of Alaska, who after visiting the meteorite display came to the office to ask if we had any record of this discovery. Some time later the U. S. National Museum obtained a 968 gram sample of this iron as a gift from Mr. Stuart H. Perry, who had acquired the specimenfrom Mr. Dent. The following information concerning the location and conditions under which this iron was discovered was supplied by Mr. Dent. This meteorite was found while dredging Aggie creek for gold and was very close to bedrock when the dredge bucket picked it up. Bedrock at this point was about 12 feet deep from the surface. Aggie creek is on Seward peninsula, Alaska, and is a tributary to Fish River which empties into Golovin Bay about 90 miles southeast of Nome. rt will be easy to locate Fish River and by following up this river about 40 miles you will find the Niukluk River empties into Fish River on the left side going up, and about 15 miles on up Fish River you will find Aggie creek which flows into Fish River on the right side going up.

  • Pacific Salmon in the North American Arctic PETER CRAIG’ and LEWIS HALDORSON2
    ARCTIC VOL. 39, NO. 1 (MARCH 1986) P. 2-7 Pacific Salmon in the North American Arctic PETER CRAIG’ and LEWIS HALDORSON2 (Received 16 May 1984; accepted in revised form 15 March 1985) ABSTRACT. All five North American Pacific salmon species occur in small numbers in arctic waters, but only pink and chum salmon appear to have viable populations north of Point Hope, Alaska. Pink salmon are the most common species and constitute 85% of salmon caught in biological surveys. Pink salmon apparently have small runs in eight arctic drainages, while chum salmon may have small runs in six. Arctic pink salmon are smaller in size than individuals to the south but have similar meristic characteristics. It is likely that minimal use of freshwater habitats by pink and chum salmon has allowed them to colonize characteristically cold arctic rivers. Key words: Arctic, Beaufort Sea, Chukchi Sea, pink salmon, chum salmon &SUMÉ. Les cinq espèces de saumon pacifique nord-américain nagent en nombre restreints dans les eaux arctiques mais seuls les saumons rose et kéta semblent exister en nombres viables au nord de Point Hope, en Alaska.Le saumon rose est l’espèce la plus commune, comportant 90% dessaumons pris dans les recensements biologiques. I1 existe apparemment de petites montaisons de saumon rose dans 8 drainages arctiques, tandis le saumon kéta est présent en petites montaisons dans 6 de ces drainages. Le saumon rose arctique est de plus petite taille que son cousin plus au sud mais possède les mêmes caractéristiques mkristiques. I1 est possible que l’usage peu fréquent d’habitats 1 eau douce par les saumons rose et kéta leur ait permi de coloniser les froides rivières arctiques.
