UK liaison with international agricultural systems

Rather than represent Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food (MAFF), or any other, official policy, I wish to express my personal views on the UK‐international scene. As I am the UK liaison officer for AGRIS (International System on Agricultural Sciences and Technology), I will give this system major consideration—but there are other international systems which entail considerable UK involvement, not least, the Commonwealth Agricultural Bureaux (CAB).

Forestry Information Services from Oxford

Abstract The Commonwealth Forestry Institute of Oxford University houses an extensive and long-established library, including a microfilm unit set up with a grant from the Ford Foundation. The Commonwealth Forestry Bureau, a unit of the Commonwealth Agricultural Bureaux (CAB), occupies part of the same building and collaborates closely with the library. The bureau publishes Forestry Abstracts and, from January 1978, Forest Products Abstracts. It also supplies catalogue cards to match these journals. All CAB journals back to January 1973 are accessible through Lockheed's DIALOG system. Both the library and the bureau deal with individual enquiries.

Bovine photosensitization in New Zealand

Abstract Extract Photosensitization in New Zealand cattle is of considerable economic importance, largely because of the incidence of facial eczema. A detailed consideration of facial eczema is outside the scope of this review but several general articles and reviews of aspects of facial eczema are available(5) Atherton, L.

A Comment on Lowland Maya Subsistence

archaeological and ethnohistoric data (summarized in Adams 1969:23-27) than is Lange's statement. We should suggest that it was at this time, during the Late Preclassic-Early Classic transition, that a diverse resource exploitative system replaced the heavily agricultural and marine reliant patterns of the Preclassic lowland Maya. Small seaside villages must have persisted through the Classic, reliant for their subsistence both upon the adjacent marine riches and upon trade with the inlanders to whom they supplied salt as well as marine shell jewelry and artifacts (Dzibilchaltun produced 182 worked-artifact and unworked-cache shells from Late Classic contexts as contrasted with only 139 from the Preclassic). A slight, temporary increase in the number of littoral settlements during the Early Postclassic most probably reflects the appearance of seagoing "Itza" traders in the peninsula's salt fields-a class of commercial coastal exploitation only indirectly related to subsistence activities. Following the Early Postclassic, the situation again reverted to one similar to that of the Classic: some villages present on the coast, their subsistence based on the proximal sea and trade with the interior.
