Griquait mit rhombischem Pyroxen (Granatwebsterit) von Borek bei Stupná bei Křemže (Krems) in Böhmen

Zusammenfassung Es wird das Vorkommen von Griquait mit rhombischem Pyroxen (Granatwebsterit) von einem Feld am Borekwald, kaum 1 km westlich von der Gemeinde Stupná bei Keme südöstlich von eské Budjovice (Böhm. Budweis), beschrieben. Den Mineralgehalt des untersuchten Gesteines bilden Enstatit, Endiopsid, Pyrop, Amphibol, Spinell, Plagioklas und ein Mineralgemengteil in Form von Kelyphit oder Symplektit. Das Gestein fällt durch seinen hohen Gehalt an Magnesium auf. Es wird für saures Äquivalent der Peridotite gehalten.

Griquaite with orthorhombic pyroxene (Garnetic Websterite) from Borek at Stupná near Keme in Bohemia

Summary The occurrence of griquaite with orthorhombic pyroxene (garnetic websterite) is described; it lies in a field near the Borek forest, scarcely 1 km west of the village Stupná near Keme, SE of eské Budjovice (South Bohemia). The mineral content of the rock studied consists of enstatite, endiopside, pyrope, amphibole, spinel, plagioclase and a mixture of minerals in the form of kelyphite or symplectite. The rock is interesting because of its high magnesium content. It is considered to be an acid equivalent of peridotite.

Core waves recorded in central Europe

Summary The core waves recorded at four seismograph stations in Central Europe were investigated with the aim to find the most suitable set of travel-time curves and a fitting model of the core structure. Another travel-time curve was constructed by means of time differences between the core phases. The differences in the features of the travel-time curves were studied using records of shallow, intermediate and deep shocks from the same focal region (Tonga).     

Comment on some relations between the shape of streamlines and frontal interface in the proximity of a cyclonic vortex

Zusammenfassung Es wird ein einfaches Modell des zykolnalen Wirbels vorgeschlagen und die Beziehung zwischen seiner Intensität, der Form der Stromlinien und der Deformation der frontalen Grenzoberfläche in seiner Nähe diskutiert. Die Arbeit verfolgt das Ziel, die Kriterien der sogenannten dynamischen Klassifikation der aus den meteorologischen Satelliten photographierten Bewölkung zu finden.     

Quadruplet orientation of aerial photographs

Summary A new procedure of the relative orientation of pencils of light reconstructed from aerial photographs having 60% end and side overlaps is suggested. The basic unit for the procedure is a quadruplet of photographs forming a square. The geometrical characteristics of a block of photographs with 60% overlaps are exploited fully, and, the present author believes, that way an optimum relative orientation of all photographs within the block can be achieved.     

On the problem of frequency calibration of induction variometers with large air-core loops

Zusammenfassung Es wird eine Methode für experimentelle Untersuchung der Frequenzkennlinien von Induktionsvariometern mit Aufnahmeschleifen nichttraditioneller Ausmasse beschrieben. Die Grundlage des beschriebenen Verfahrens bildet eine genaue Bestimmung jenes Teils des magnetischen Kraftflusses, der durch die Aufnahmeschleife durchgeht.     

Remanent magnetism of anorganic and organic substances and its exploitation in treating historical problems

Summary Properties of the thermoremanent magnetization of various archaeological materials (baked-clay objects, samples from old trees, bones and stones) were investigated with the purpose to assess the possibility of their use for the determination of the earth's magnetic field in the historical past and to apply the data for solving some practical problems. It turns out that most of those materials yield magnetic values that can be used for making the radiocarbon dating method more accurate, for determining the degree of burning and for direct archaeomagnetic dating. The new conclusions also contribute to the knowledge of changes in the earth's magnetic field in the past.     

Fluorine in tourmalines

The determination of the fluorine content of courmalines yielded 0.28% as an average value for schorlites and dravites and 0.97% for elbaites. The plot of the fluorine contents against the lithium contents shows that the distribution of projection points for pink or green elbaites differs from that for lithian indigolites. Tourmalines are poorer in fluorine than lightcoloured micas at the same stage of pegmatite evolution. Individual regions with pegmatite occurrences can be characterized as rich or poor in fluorine according to the fluorine contents in the tourmalines and micas contained in the pegmatites.     

Results of deep seismic soundings along international profile VII in Czechoslovakia and poland

Summary The paper deals with the results of DSS measurements along international profile VII, carried out by Czechoslovak and Polish geophysicists in 1970 – 71. The profile situation is shown in Fig. 1. By 1971 part of the profile in the region of the Bohemian Massif between points 1 and 3 and in Poland between points 5 and 7 had been surveyed (Fig. 2). The seismograms were used to construct the travel-time curves of the fundamental types of waves P^K, P^M, P_n (Fig. 4). The mean velocities were computed from the travel-time curves of the reflected waves (P^M and P^K) and the refracted waves (P_g). Isolines of the mean velocities could be constructed for the region of the Bohemian Massif (Fig. 6). The velocity data found were used for the depth interpretation of the travel-time curves of the principal types of waves and to construct a seismic section (Fig. 8). In the region of the Pre-Sudeten block the thickness of the crust was found to be 34–37 km, and in the Sudeten it increased to 40 km. Towards the south the thickness of the crust gradually reduces to 30 km in the system of the Luice faults. In the Bohemian Cretaceous the thickness of the crust is about 30 km. Further to the south, in the region of the Moldanubicum, the thickness of the Earth's crust increases rapidly, and at the southern border of the Central Bohemian pluton it reaches values of about 42 km.
