TWO NEW SPECIES OF NEOBORELLA KNIGHT (HETEROPTERA: MIRIDAE) FOUND ON DWARF MISTLETOE, ARCEUTHOBIUM SPP.

Knight (1925) erected the genus Neoborella for his species tumida, collected in Arizona and Colorado. Later (1927) he indicated that the species was collected on mistletoe, Arceuthobium sp. growing on pines at Mt. Lemmon, Ariz., and on A. cryptopodium Engelm. growing on Pinus scopulorum Engelm. (= Pinus ponderosa Laws.) at Estes Park, Colo. The genus remained monobasic until Herring (1972) described Neoborella xanthenes collected on A. americanum Nuttall. The specimens were collected by R. E. Stevens, U.S.D.A., Forestry Service, Fort Collins, Colo. He (in litt.) confirmed that the host pine was Pinus contorta Dougl. Carvalho and Schaffner (1974) described a third species, brevirostris, from Brazil, but the host plant of this species is not known.

Postcoronary Patient Visiting High Altitudes

To the Editor.— I am disturbed by the answer which John H.K. Vogel, MD, provided in response to the query of a postcoronary patient vacationing at Estes Park, Colo, at 7,522 feet altitude ( 210: 731, 1969). Dr. Vogel states that physiologic changes would be favorable and specifies a number of cardiovascular trends occurring ten days after going from sea level to 10,000 feet. The patient, however, is certainly subjected to a decreased arterial oxygen tension (Pao 2 ) during these first few days and cannot be considered immune until such benefit accrues. Dr. Vogel states that the Pao 2 at 7,522 feet would be 60 mm Hg. The Pao 2 is not simply a function of PiO 2 (which of course depends on the barometric pressure and inhalation concentration of oxygen), but it is vitally dependent on: distribution, diffusion, and ventilation/perfusion factors in addition to the Paco 2 . The mild polycythemic

Winter Ecology of Moose in the Gallatin Mountains, Montana

Moose (Alces alces shirasi) winter range use and food habits were studied on the north slope of the Gallatin mountain range, Montana, from September, 1965, to December, 1967. Aerial observation indicated a low density population winters primarily on quaking aspen (Populus trem?wloides) and Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) vegetation types. Migration from fall to winter range was gradual and lasted throughout the winter. Highest moose concentrations were found on the aspen and Douglas-fire types in March and April. Rumen sample analyses indicated that low red huckleberry (Vacctnium scoparium) subalpine fir (Abies lasiocarpa), and willow (Salix spp.) were the most important fall food items. Feeding site examinations indicated that willow, western serviceberry (Amelanchier alnifoluz ), chokecherry ( Prunus virginians ), and red dogwood ( Corn?>s stolonifera ) were the most important species in winter. Serviceberry, dogwood, and willow remained important into the spring, when increased use of currant (Ribes spp.) and some forbs was noted. Aquatic pIants and grasses were found to be unimportant in the moose diet. Condition and trend transects indicated that the rarlge was in poor condition and deteriorating further. Reproduction data indicated calf: cow ratios of 5S: 100 and 52:100, in 1965 and 1966, respectively. Aerial observation was effective in determining moose distribution but not for total census of the study area. Willow was not found as important to this moose population as has been reported for the Shiras moose on other areas. This paper describes the winter range use food habits, and certain population characteristics of moose on the north slope of the Gallatin mountain rangen Montana. Quantitative data were accumulated from September, 1965, to December 1967, to describe the habits of the Shiras moose on various range types. Other authors (Denniston 1956, Knowlton 1960, Smith 19612, Houston 1968) have studied the ecology of the Shiras moosen but primarily on ranges where willow was the major habitat type. When Montana moose hunting terminated in 1897, populations were apparently very low in the areas surrounding Yellowstone National Park, including the Gallatin study area. McDowell and Moy ( 1942 ) reported that populations within the park attained a peak density about 19124. Subsequently) moose populations increased rapidly outside the park. A report (U.

The first hunting season was held in 19S6 after a closure of almost 68) years. The first seasons were restricted to a fesv bull-only permits but in recent years more liberal Erermits for either sex have

The Medical Staff in the Modern Hospital.

Doctor C. Wesley Eisele has edited this remarkable new volume which is the first work in its field. Fifty-five contributors graphically describe their roles as staff members in hospitals of various sizes. This unique volume is aimed at improving the quality of patient care through the development of a better understanding of all aspects of staff work in the modern hospital. The point is made that the impact of research in the field of staff organization and functions upon the quality of medical practice in this nation is very apt to outweigh the result of much laboratory investigation that is now handsomely supported financially. To a certain extent, the material is based upon conferences directed by Eisele and held at the University of Colorado School of Medicine in 1960 and 1964, and in 1965 and 1966 at Estes Park, Colorado. Not only are medical staff organization and functions discussed, but

Summary and Conclusions from the Estes Park Sporadic E Seminar; 1. Radio Measurements

In a summary of the "radio" measurements of sporadic E we cannot extricate ourselves completely from consideration of the other measurements considered in this conference. For some purposes, the radio propagation characteristics provide us with a means of diagnosing properties of the E region; for other purposes, experimental results obtained in alternative ways permit us a means of interpreting the radio propagation. In this seminar it has been possible to bring more clearly into focus the physical relationship between the various radio propagation phenomena as observed from the ground and the electron density variations which cause these phenomena. For completeness, the field of “radio” measurements of E, should also include those rocket measurements which depend upon the integrated radio path from ground to rocket. These rocket measurements are distinct from the ground‐based radio observations in that interpretation of the rocket observations yields a relatively unambiguous measure of atmospheric properties in a restricted volume centered on the rocket trajectory. The propagation phenomena which first provided us with the name “sporadic E” result from an integration of effects distributed over volumes some tens of km in extent.

RELATIONSHIP OF AUDIOLOGISTS AND OTOLARYNGOLOGISTS

To the Editor: I am writing this letter, both as a candidate of the American Academy of Ophthalmology and Otolaryngology and as a member of the American Speech and Hearing Association. Over the past month, two medical meetings were held which once again pointed out the very close working relationship between otolaryngologists and audiologists. This was demonstrated in the programs presented at the otologic workshop held in Los Angeles and at the medical audiology meeting held in Estes Park, Colo. Throughout the various presentations the close relationship between audiologists and otolaryngologists was very evident. Because of the growing interdependence of otolaryngology and the field of audiology I would like to recommend that otolaryngologists, and particularly those practitioners who limit their practice to otology, apply for membership in the American Speech and Hearing Association. The organization publishes two fine medical journals, and their professional meetings present programs which are very timely

Notes and personalia

This meeting was held at Estes Park, Colorado, June 15–16, 1964. Thirty‐eight domestic and three foreign educational institutions now have formal affiliation with the Universities Council of Hydrology.At this meeting perhaps the most important business matter was the consideration of broadening the base of the Council to become the Universities Council on Water Resources, thus bringing together the social‐economic‐political aspects of the water resources problem with the scientific and technological. After extensive discussion, a new set of bylaws was adopted providing for the change.

A New Species of Box-Mite from Colorado (Oribatei: Phthiracaridae)

In one of his numerous papers on North American phthiracarid mites Jacot (1930, 1933, 1938) included a key to the species of the genus Phthiracarus. When this key was used to classify specimens of these mites from an area south of Estes Park, Colorado, it was found that they did not fit any of the descriptions. Careful comparison of the descriptions of the known species indicated that these specimens represented an undescribed species, for which the writer proposes the name Phthiracarus minimarginatus. The new species differs from P. bryobius in its long, bristle-like pseudostigmatic organ, a ventral plate with an entire margin, not denticulate, and a projecting rostral rim. The rostral rim is distinct, although rather small, which suggests the name minimarginatus. In addition to the projecting aspal rim, the new species differs from P. boresetosus in the external insertions of both VP 1 and VP3. Bristle VP 2 is the only bristle of the ventral plate inserted in a deep notch. Other differences include six bristles on each genital cover, where P. boresetosus exhibits seven. The arrangement of the bristles on both the genital and anal covers differs markedly also.

Influence of Grazing and Mulch on Forage Growth

IT IS well known that the degree of forage removal affects individual plants, plant succession, forage production, and modifies microclimate and soil. Some investigators have pointed to the necessity of leaving a portion of the plant ungrazed to preclude undue interference with physiological processes. Others have felt that the dead plant or mulch remaining at the end of the grazing season is of even greater importance than conservative grazing in its effect on soil structure, organic content, soil temperature, moisture, and erosion, and thus upon the growing plants (2, 5, 10, 11). While mulch has long been recognized as an important element in range health, specific studies regarding its role have been undertaken rather recently (7, 8). Beutner and Anderson have shown that striking increases in forage production result from rather heavy mulches on semi-desert soils (1). Larson and Whitman have indicated a close relationship between litter accumulation and degree of forage removal (9). To investigate some of these relationships and, particularly, the effects of protection and organic mulch on forage production, plot studies were begun in 1941. The study area is located on the North Fork of Little Thompson River, nine miles east of the Town of Estes Park, Colorado, on the Roosevelt National Forest. At the outset, the study was intended to measure the relative rates of recovery of an overgrazed range under protection and under moderate grazing. As the study progressed, certain aspects of spring and summer forage growth became evident, and the apparent effect of mulch accumulation led to the addition of a mulch study.
