A CONTRIBUTION TO THE FERN FLORA OF FRENCH GUIANA

In recent times very little has been published on the fern flora of French Guiana. In 1918, R. BONAPARTE published a list of fern specimens, collected chiefly by Leprieur and Melinon (p. 365: Guyane franςaise, plusieurs collecteurs, herbier du Prince Bonaparte; apart from some scattered notes in other volumes of Notes Pteridologiques); POSTHUMUS’s records of ferns from that region, which are included in his work on the ferns of Surinam (1928), were partly based on Bonaparte’s work, but comparatively little new material had been added to the existing collections. Consequently, when Mme M. Tardieu-Blot informed me that the Paris herbarium contained some unidentified collections of Pteridophytes from that region, I accepted willingly her offer to study them. In this paper are enumerated new or critical or in some other respects interesting records of ferns from the material concerned. It is regrettable that most collections do not possess indications of precise localities, or even lack collectors names, numbers, or both; it is supposed that most of these specimens have been collected by Leprieur.

Introduction to Check List of Japanese Tertiary Marine Mollusca

This paper serves to announce the preparation of an alphabetically arranged check list of figured specimens of Japanese Tertiary marine Mollusca, exclusive of Amphineura. The list is divided into four sections: Pelecypoda, 723 species; Scaphopoda, 11 species; Gastropoda, 742 species; and Cephalopoda, 5 species. Only the introductory pages are presented here, but the complete list has been published in Japan. The Mollusca of the Tertiary formations of Japan provide no direct evidence for correlation with the currently accepted sequence of European Tertiary stages. An attempt is made here, however, to define the relative position of the chronologic boundaries between the epochs in the Tertiary sequence.

GEOGRAPHICAL VARIATION IN THE WOODPECKER PICUS FLAVINUCHA GOULD.

Summary. A series of over 260 specimens of Picus fiavinucha from all over its range was studied in relation to intraspecific geographical variation. The author considers Picus mentalis and Picus chlorolophus its closest relatives. A key to the races of P. flavinucha is given. Synonyms, characters, range and a list of specimens examined are given for each subspecies. A new race, Picus flavinucha marianae, is described from Mt. Victoria, Chin Hills, Burma. The nature of geographical variation of the more important taxonomic characters is discussed.

The Systematic Status of the Crocodile Osteoblepharon osborni

HE validity of the crocodilian genus Osteoblepharon, described by Schmidt (1919), has been questioned by Chabanaud (1920) and Kalin (1933) on the basis of comparisons with skulls of the related genus Osteolaemus. These authors regard Osteoblepharon osborni Schmidt (type locality Niapu, Upper Congo) as a synonym of Osteolaemus tetraspis Cope (type locality Ogobai River, West Africa--Ogowe River). A new adult specimen from Beni in the Upper Congo, and five of varying ages from West Africa, afford an opportunity to examine the characters thought to distinguish the two genera and to form an opinion as to the status of the two species. The following is a list of specimens examined in the course of this study.'

Notes on Eriogonum

Three species of Eriogonumn have been referred to both that genus and to Oxytheca for more than half a century. In studying the genus Oxytheca, it became desirable to look critically at these species. All three species are considered to be Eriogonums for reasons that will be pointed out later. Distribution data are presented as completely as practicable, and one new variety is described. The number of collections examined is given, as well as the average flowering time. A specimen is cited for each county from which a collection was seen. At the end of the paper there is a complete list of specimens examitied. The curators of the following herbaria are cordially thanked for their generosity in lending specimens: California Academy of Sciences, University of California (including the Clokey Herbarium), Gray, Missouri Botanical Garden, New York Botanical Garden, Acidemy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia, Pomona College, and United States National Herbarium.

ADDITIONAL NOTES ON COLEOPTERA TAKEN IN ESSEX COUNTY AND SOUTHERN ONTARIO

The following list of specimens is supplementary to two previously published articles (1944, Canad. Ent. 76:163 and 1945, Canad. Ent. 77:214) on Essex County material. Appended to the list are miscellaneous records of 17 species captured in Ontario locations other than Essex County. These have been added to this paper since they are thought to be of noteworthy interest. The species in each part follow as closely as possible C.W. Leng's Catalogue of the Coleoptera of America north of Mexico.

IX.— The Leven Valley, Dumbartonshire

The sinking of a deep boring for water in 1937-38 at the distillery of Messrs. Hiram Walker and Sons, Dumbarton, added considerably to our knowledge of the nature and thickness of the superficial deposits of this area. In placing on record the results obtained, the writer has at the same time taken the opportunity to summarise the evidence available for the existence of a deep pre-Glacial valley joining the River Clyde on the east side of Dumbarton Rock and not, as the present Leven does, on the west side. The subject matter of this communication falls, accordingly, under the three following headings:—(1) the Dumbarton Distillery boring of 1937-38; (2) earlier borings; and (3) discussion and interpretation of the results. 1. Distillery Boring of 1937-38. This boring was put down by Messrs. Thos. Matthews, Ltd. near the junction of the Leven and Clyde, on ground formerly part of Macmillan's shipyard. Its site is indicated on Figure 1 by the number 49 and the height of the ground here above Ordnance Datum is approximately 18.9 ft. The depth attained was 700 ft., made up as follows:— Good cores were obtained from a depth of 235 ft. down to the foot of the boring and these were examined by the writer from time to time as the work proceeded. (a) Superficial deposits.—The succession of beds, as recorded by the borer in charge, is given below, but it should be noted that the loose nature of some of the materials led to caving in This 250-word extract was created in the absence of an abstract Acknowledgements are due to Messrs. Hiram Walker & Sons for permission to examine the cores of the Distillery boring; to Messrs. Thos. Matthew, Ltd. and to their foreman, Mr. Adam, for their ready co-operation in this work; to Dr. E. D. Currie and Dr. A. C. Stephen for lists of specimens obtained from the 100-ft. and 25-ft. Beach clays respectively; to Mr. Fergus Roberts, Town Clerk of Dumbarton, for information regarding recent excavations; and to Mr. C. H. Dinham, whose earlier work in this area has been freely drawn upon.

Walker's Species of Membracidae from United States and Canada

Francis Walker in his “List of Specimens of Homopterous Insects in the Collection of the British Museum” (Part II, 1851) and in his Supplement to that catalogue (1858) described twenty-nine species of Membracidae from America north of Mexico. Unfortunately, many of his descriptions are so inadequate that although the membracids of this region are now fairly well known, yet a large number of his species have never been certainly recognized and a few have been practically relegated to the limbo of “lost species.”

VI. Notes on a Series of Specimens illustrating the Effects of Differential Weathering on some Scottish Metamorphic Rocks

List of Specimens exhibited. 1. Loch Tay Limestone, 1 mile west of Crianlarich. 2. Limestone with Actinolite, Glen Elg. 3. Limestone, Glen Tilt. 4. Junction of Limestone and Gneiss, Gilbert's Bridge, Glen Tilt. 5. Quartz veins, in folded Gneiss, Gaick Forest, Inverness. 6. Compact Limestone, showing irregular weathering. 7. Cordierite-Actinolite Schist, Dubh Visge, Garabal Hill. Many of the specimens have a banded appearance, with sharp, salient, more or less parallel ribs on the weathered surface, due to the differential weathering of alternations of harder and softer layers. In 1, flakes of mica are distributed through the more resistant layers. On weathering, these stand out as sharp, parallel ribs, an appearance characteristic of the Loch Tay and other Scottish metamorphic limestones. In 3, the alternations are layers varying slightly in degree of purity. In 2, 4, and 5, bands of actinolite, gneiss, and quartz constitute the harder layers. No. 7 is a specimen of a peculiar schist found as a block in the bed of the Dubh Visge, a burn near the Garabal Hill igneous complex. Its weathered surface shows large nodular lumps, often an inch across, separated by deep indented depressions. A thin slice shows that the rock consists mainly of biotite and cordierite, the latter being quite fresh, with the characteristic trillings and yellow pleochroic halos. A few crystals of actinolite break across the foliation of the rock. Sillimanite, apatite, and iron ores occur as inclusions in the cordierite. A section across one of the nodules, however, shows an almost total This 250-word extract was created in the absence of an abstract

Selected Vase-Fragments from the Acropolis of Athens—III

I am privileged to publish here a few very interesting fragments of Acropolis vases, the paintings of which are executed wholly or partially on a white ground. Naturally the number of these fragments is comparatively small, but they are of greater interest than those of black-figured or red-figured technique, as enlarging the somewhat meagre list of extant specimens of this class. When I last had the opportunity of examining the collection, before it had been removed from the Acropolis and undergone the systematic sorting so ably performed by Drs. Wolters and Graef, and subsequently by Dr. P. Hartwig, there were portions of fourteen vases, the majority of which were kylikes, a few having the white ground on both sides of the vase but most of them showing a combination of a plain varnished or a red-figured exterior with interior scenes painted on a white ground, or even a white slip outside and of work within. Inasmuch as the whole collection has now been worked over, it is not worth while to enumerate the total, as it appeared some years ago. In the case of the most interesting vase, which now appears for the first time (Plate X.), I have reason to believe that all extant fragments are included in the Plate, several additional drawings having been executed by M. Gilliéron, whose work, it is needless to say, is characterized by its usual admirable fidelity.

Catalogue of Eastern and Australian Lepidoptera Heterocera in the Collection of the Oxford University Museum

THIS volume is the first part of a Catalogue of the moths from the Oriental and Australian regions in the collection of the late Mr. W. W. Saunders, which was acquired by the Oxford Museum some fifteen years ago, and consists chiefly of specimens collected by Wallace during his famous voyage to the Malay Archipelago, and described by the late Francis Walker in his British Museum Catalogue. Since Walker's arrangement of the collection it has remained untouched and mostly neglected by lepidopterists, so that a rearrangement and comparison of the types had become highly necessary, which useful work has been undertaken and very ably carried out by Colonel Swinhoe. All the types have been brought to the British Museum, their synonomy carefully worked out and the species placed in their proper families and genera, many of theni being figured in the eight coloured plates, and it is to be hoped the other parts will soon follow, and also that a list of the types which should be in the Museum and are missing will be added. There is one statement in the preface which requires correction; the only types of Walker's species described in his Catalogue which are in the Oxford Museum are those which are expressly stated to be in “Coll. Saunders,” all the others are in the British Museum, including those for which a locality is given before the list of British Museum specimens.
