Abstract

The ostracodes described in this report are from material collected in Naval Petroleum Reserve No. 4, northern Alaska. The samples were obtained from well and seismograph shot holes drilled by Arctic Contractors and United States Geophysical Company and from field samples collected by the United States Geological Survey in the period from 1945 to 1948/ The earliest samples were processed for microfossils in Washington, but most of the material was prepared in the Fairbanks Laboratory of the Geological Survey.

Regional interpretation of the geology of the Kongakut - Firth Rivers area, Alaska

In 1952 the National Park Service became interested in setting aside a large wilderness area in northeastern Alaska. The area is approximately 7,000 square miles in size, with boundaries as follows: beginning at Camden Bay south along the Katakturuk River to lat. 68° N.; then east to long. 144° 33' W.; south to lat. 68° N.; then east to the Canadian Boundary. The two river areas which the Park Service is most interested in examining for ecology, botany, archaeology, and geology are the upper Firth and Kongakut Rivers.
