VOLUME 38, NUMBER 4 1 INDEX TO VOLUMES 1 TIfROUGH 38 This inclusive index of Massachusetts Archaeological Society Bulletins volumes 1-38(3) appears in three distinct formats. An Authors Index lists all authors alpha­ betically by last name, followed by the titles of their articles in chronological order, with volume, issue number, and initial page reference. The Title Index lists all titles alphabetically except for the initial articles "the, a and an". The title is followed by the author's name and a volume, number and page reference. The Subject Index format is rather less obvious; it is extensive but not comprehensive. The subjects alphabetized were generally drawn from the titles or major topics of the articles, comments, letters and editorials referenced. Thus, some of the subjects in the list are touched upon, if only lightly, in articles not referenced to them. The Subject Index should help a researcher make a start into the MAS literature on a topic, but it will not exhaust it. For example: the references listed under "Early Archaic sites" include only those articles which deal entirely or mainly with sites of that period. Many site reports which refer only briefly to Early Archaic artifacts being found will not be listed under that heading in the Subject Index. The Index team hopes that" users will appreciate the quandary they faced. and accept charitably the simplif,ying decisions made. The reference format [OO( 0) :oJ was selected by the Editor after consideration of several alternatives. It closely follows the format used by the American Anthropo­ logist for its indices, and may thus be unfamiliar to MAS members. It offered sub­ stantial savings in space and set-up costs, while being unambiguous in form and thus easily checked for accuracy. Dates of publication have been omitted, at substantial cost savings,because they are implied by, and can be reconstructed from, the volume and issue number, and will be readily accessible to anyone looking up an item in back journals. Following a title or subject heading, the volume number is preceded by a comma and followed by parentheses; in series, it is preceded by a semi-colon [00(0) :0]. The issue number is within parentheses and followed by a colon [OO(Q) :OJ. The initial page of an article, etc., follows the colon [OO(O):~ . The concluding page is not listed. This index represents the dedicated work of a number of individuals, beginning with its inception at Providence College in 1973. Under the direction of Dr. Carol Barnes, Charles Paxton, aided by his wife Loryn, compiled an Author Index on cards for all volumes through April, 1974. This list was cross-referenced by code to eighteen topical categories, from any of which reference could be made back to the author list. This substantial achievement was turned over to the present Editor in the fall of 1976, as a large set of index cards with a brief introduction and guide. With the help of Steven Fuller, a graduate student at the University of Massachu­ setts at Amherst, the Editor reviewed the Paxton index with the intention of bringing it up to date and preparing typescript for publication. The review revealed a problem in the coded reference categories. Two categories--"Theory and Comparative Studies" and "Miscellaneous"-- were very large in relation to other categories, and subsumed in their undifferentiated masses much of the most interesting material which had appear­ ed in the journal. Consequently, Mr. Fuller agreed to undertake a subject index in a format intended to encourage thoughtful and thorough research use of the Bulletin. The result of these combined labors is offered here. The Editor acknowledges with grateful awe the work of the Paxtons and Mr. Fuller, while assuming full responsibili­ ty for the final format of the index and for any errors, of omission or commission, which mar its form or usefulness. In addition to the monumental work of the compilers, the task was aided and ultimately brought to completion by the help of the following people: Michael McCracken of Attleboro, Janice Weeks and Patricia Crosby of Greenfield.

    Publication No. 171 The Massachusetts Acid Rain Monitoring Project: Ten Years of Monitoring Massachusetts Lakes and Streams with Volunteers. by Paul J. Godfrey Mark D. Mattson Marie-Françoise Walk Peter A. Kerr O.Thomas Zajicek Armand Ruby III The Massachusetts Acid Rain Monitoring Project: Ten Years of Monitoring Massachusetts Lakes and Streams with Volunteers. by Paul J. Godfrey Mark D. Mattson Marie-Françoise Walk Peter A. Kerr O.Thomas Zajicek Armand Ruby III November 1996 Abstract Between 1983 and 1985, the Acid Rain Monitoring (ARM) Project used as many as 1000 citizen volunteers to collect and help analyze more than 40,000 samples from 2444 lakes and 1670 streams, respectively 87% and 69% of the named lakes and streams in the state, and monitored a representative 453 randomly selected and 119 special interest lakes and streams for eight successive years (1985-1993) with approximately 300 volunteers. This report details the organizational effort that permitted maintenance of this ten year effort, the quality control efforts needed to insure that resulting data met scientific standards for quality, and the findings of ten years of extensive monitoring. Results for the nearly comprehensive initial phases of the project show that 5.5% of lakes and streams in Massachusetts are acidified (pH < 5.0 and ANC < 0 µeq/l); 57.4% were sufficiently low in acid neutralizing capacity to be considered threatened by acid deposition (0<ANC<200 µeq/l); and 37.1% were not threatened (ANC > 200 µeq/l). Spring samples contained an average of 45% more H+ (pH 6.44 vs 6.60) and 32% less ANC (257 vs 376 µeq/l) than fall samples.

  • Tions on Quail Hunting in Dukes, Es
    ——Other legislation included provisions for the spearing of carp and eels88, prohibi- tions on quail hunting in Dukes, Essex, and Nantucket counties until 192289, autho- rization for the Commissioners to regulate the taking of smelt in great ponds90, imple- mentation of a closed season on the hunting and trapping of raccoons91, provision for a bounty on seals92, and the requirement for a freshwater fishing license and provision for a “combined” hunting and fishing license93,94. THE DIVISION OF FISHERIES & GAME—THE EARLY YEARS, 1920-1947: A SUMMARY The “Commission on Fisheries & Game” was replaced on December 1, 1919, by the “Division” of Fisheries & Game, with an appointed “Director” as Chief Executive Officer, subordinate to the “Commissioner” of the Department of Conservation ——After the first Director, William C. Adams, served several terms (resigning in 1931), the Division entered a lengthy period with Directors serving short terms or a single 3-year term. ——The Department was reorganized in 1939, splitting off “Marine Fisheries” and “Wildlife Research & Management” as separate Divisions. ——The Director’s editorials firmly emphasized the role of outdoor recreation as healthy and inspiring, the benefits and services provided by the Division to all the state’s citi- zens, the need for sustained and adequate funding, the modernization of fish and game propagation facilities, the requirement for scientific surveys and investigations, and the values of public education projects. ——The Division briefly formed an unofficial Advisory Council with several sports- men’s, birding, and agricultural organizations, and the Director met on a regular basis with representatives from the various sporting County Leagues.

  • Massdot Is Committed to Improving the Quality of Stormwater Runoff from Its Highways
    MassDOT is committed to improving the quality of stormwater runoff from its highways. Through the “Impaired Waters Program,” MassDOT addresses stormwater runoff from its roadways draining to impaired water bodies as part of compliance with the NPDES Phase II Small MS4 General Permit. Stormwater best management practices (BMPs) are implemented to the maximum extent practicable through two methods: retrofit projects and programmed projects. Retrofit projects are tracked within the MassDOT Impaired Waters Program Database, while programmed projects are tracked through this Water Quality Data Form (WQDF). The goal of the WQDF is to raise awareness of the necessity to implement stormwater BMPs during programmed projects and to capture information about stormwater BMPs that are implemented. There are two WQDFs required as part of each programmed project. One is specific to the 25% design stage, and the other is specific to the 75% design stage. Please download the latest version of the WQDF from the MassDOT website. Please fill out the tab titled “75% Design Form,” and check the box at the bottom of the form to ensure that all questions have been answered adequately. Please submit this form in Excel format only and name your file with the convention WQDF25_projectnumber.xlsm. Submit the form to your MassDOT project manager as part of the project's electronic submittal. An interactive web map is available to aid in filling out the WQDF. It is available at http://mass.gov/massdot/map/wqdf. If MassDOT has requested that the form be revised and resubmitted, resubmit the form using the naming convention WQDF75_projectnumber_rev.xlsm.
