TRANSLATION S OF COMPUTER USE PAPERS IN RUSSIAN 
The following series of papers on computer use in geological 
studies has been translated from "Institut Neftekhimicheskoi i 
Gazovoi Promyshlemnosti; Trudy," no. 62 , where ail appear under 
the general title "Overall Interpretation of Complex Geological 
and Geophysical Data by Means of Computers." The translations 
are available from the National Translations Center, John Crerar 
Library, 35 West 33rd St, Chicago IL 60616 , although you probably 
cannot afford them!--JAP.

ECOLOGICAL MODELING 
The Oak Ridge National Laboratory has just issued a 97 page 
contribution to the analysis of ecosystems section of the IBP pro¬ 
ject on the Deciduous Forest Biome, entitled "A Preliminary Biblio¬ 
graphy of Mathematical Modeling in Ecology," compiled by R. V. 
O'Neill, J. M. Hett, and N. F. Sollins. According to the intro¬ 
duction (p. 1), "The techniques of mathematical modeling are ex¬ 
pected to play a major role in the synthesis of data from the 
Deciduous Forest Biome Project. This bibliography was produced 
to assist the Biome analysts by making references to published 
models available... It is hoped that much duplication of effort 
can be avoided in this manner." (Now there's an old MUDPIE objec¬ 
tive, if I ever saw one.) 
The citations given have been incorporated into the biblio¬ 
graphic retrieval system of the Biogeochemical Information Center 
at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory, which will be developed as 
a more extensive computerized bibliography. The volume, identi¬ 
fied as "ORNL-IBP-70-3, International Biological Program UC-48-
