SIGNED: Q- , : PREFACE The research reported upon in the following pages was begun as a result of the encouragement of Emil ¥. Haury and Edward B. Danson, members of the Department of Anthro­ pology at The University of Arizona. Their interests in the archaeology of the area surveyed had grown from research experiences in adjacent regions, and they were concerned with the kinds of information such a survey would produce. When the problem had been defined, there remained but a short time to begin the field research. No applica­ tion was made for financial assistance. Survey is one of the least expensive techniques of archaeology. My wife, Marilyn, agreed to accompany me into the field as an assistant, and my father offered financial assistance to complete this part of my education. The field research was prefaced by an intensive reading of the pertinent site reports, records, and general summaries which were then available. Maps of the area were obtained and contacts were made with those people who would give permission for the survey and who could furnish infor­ mation about the area. Necessary supplies and equipment were purchased. iii iv Once we were in the field a number of people and. institutions expressed interest in the research undertaken and offered aid and assistance in a variety of ways. My wife spent many long days in the field waiting patiently as I walked across the countryside, cooked many a meal on the camp stove, and gave me constant companionship and encour­ agement . The owners of the land were, in every instance, cooperative, considerate, and helpful. They often, at expense to themselves, went to great lengths to help this endeavor in any way they could. The members of the Rock Hounds club of St. Johns were equally helpful. They gave us many Sundays, and occasional work days, to personally show us sites they knew. Their magnificent picnic lunches were most noteworthy. Two archaeological field camps were opened to us, that of Paul S. Martin at Vernon, Arizona, and the camp of the Woodburys near El Morro, New Mexico. In each case assistance was given freely and further assistance was offered if it was needed. The Museum of Northern Arizona, and especially Harold S. Colton, furnished aid, housing, and a place to store and study the field materials. They opened their research facility to me, gave full access to their library, and furnished a mimeographed report of the results of the Cibola White Ware Conference as well as other useful data. I am finally indebted to the faculty of The University of Arizona, Department of Anthropology, for encouraging this research in every way.

Status The Zuni bluehead sucker was once common in the Little Colorado River and Zuni River drainages, but its historic range has been reduced by approximately 50% (Propst and Hobbs 1996) and its numbers by about 90% in the last 25 years (NMDGF 2000). The Zuni bluehead sucker currently inhabits less then 10% of its probable historic range, and within its current range, its distribution is fragmented, and its status in Arizona is uncertain (Propst 1999). Merkel (1979) reported that on July 21 1971, a sizable population of Zuni Mountain suckers was discovered deep in the Nutria Box where water was flowing. Biologist had assumed that the suckers had been extirpated as a result of fish eradication efforts in the 1960's.

    Final Recovery Plan Southwestern Willow Flycatcher (Empidonax traillii extimus) August 2002 Prepared By Southwestern Willow Flycatcher Recovery Team Technical Subgroup For Region 2 U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Albuquerque, New Mexico 87103 Approved: Date: Disclaimer Recovery Plans delineate reasonable actions that are believed to be required to recover and/or protect listed species. Plans are published by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, sometimes prepared with the assistance of recovery teams, contractors, State agencies, and others. Objectives will be attained and any necessary funds made available subject to budgetary and other constraints affecting the parties involved, as well as the need to address other priorities. Recovery plans do not necessarily represent the views nor the official positions or approval of any individuals or agencies involved in the plan formulation, other than the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. They represent the official position of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service only after they have been signed by the Regional Director or Director as approved. Approved Recovery plans are subject to modification as dictated by new findings, changes in species status, and the completion of recovery tasks. Some of the techniques outlined for recovery efforts in this plan are completely new regarding this subspecies. Therefore, the cost and time estimates are approximations.

TT^NGLISHMEN and Americans frequently use the ^ word "sensualist" to describe one in whom the animal appetites are predominant. We shall see that it is a just charge against the Sensualistic philosophy, that it not seldom inclines its advocates to this dominion of beastly lusts. But it is not from this fact that we draw the phrase by which we name it. The Sensualistic philosophy is that theory, which resolves all the powers of the human spirit into the functions of the five senses, and modifications thereof. It is the philosophy which finds all its rudiments in sensation. It not only denies to the spirit of man all innate ideas, but all innate powers of originating ideas, save those given us from our senses.

  • Beaver DAM Wash National Conservation
    Beaver Dam Wash BLM National Conservation Area What is a National Conservation Area? Through the Omnibus Public Land Management Act of 2009, Congress designated the Beaver Dam Wash National Conservation Area (NCA) in Washington County, Utah “to conserve, protect, and enhance… the ecological, scenic, wildlife, recreational, cultural, historical, natural, educational, and scientific resources” of these public lands. The new NCA comprising roughly of 63,500 acres is managed by the BLM’s St. George Field Office. Where is the Beaver Dam Wash NCA? Located in the southwest corner of Washington County, Utah, the Beaver Dam Wash NCA is approximately 22 miles west of St. George, Utah and roughly 13 miles northwest of Littlefield, Arizona. The Nevada and Arizona state lines, border the western section of the NCA and Interstate 15 and the Virgin River parallel its southern boundary. U.S. Highway 91 is the only paved highway through the NCA. What Are the Special Values of the Beaver Dam Wash NCA? This NCA is within an ecological transition zone between the Mojave Desert and the Great Basin. Creosote bush, white bursage, and other desert shrubs grow at lower elevations and provide habitat for desert bighorn sheep and the Mojave Desert tortoise, a threatened species listed under the Endangered Species Act. Joshua trees and dense stands of blackbrush cover St. George Field Office the slopes of the Beaver Dam Mountains, which rise along the eastern boundary of the NCA. Surface water flows in the upper reaches of Beaver Dam Wash, but rarely travels all the way through the NCA. Riparian vegetation along the stream channel is important habitat for migratory birds and other wildlife.

ABSTRACT.-The diatom flora ofBeaver Dam Creek, Washington County, Utah, was studied. The study area is in awarm MOjave Desert environment at an elevation between 810 and 850 m. A total of 99 taxa were identified from composite samples taken in the fall, winter, spring, and summer seasons. These taxa are all broadly distributed and no endemic species were encountered. Three new records for the state of Utah were identifted: Gomp!umeis eriense Sky. & Mayer, Navicula clginensis var.lata (M. Perag.) Paa., and Nitzschia-calida Grun. The most important taxa throughout the studyas determined by multiplying percent presence by average relative density (Important Species Index) were Cymbella affinM Katz., Epithemia sorex Katz., Navicula veneta Katz .
