The Hui Of Kahana, Robert H. Stauffer

Mormon Pacific Historical Society

The Mission and membership of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints in the Hawaiian Iislands were confronted early on with two epic cruises. First there was the loss of the Colony on the Island of Lanai in the early 1860s. Then came the sundering and (temporary) loss of about half of the faithful from the Laie Mission in the 1870s through the so-called “Awa Rebellion.” This paper picks up the thread of the Church's breakaway Mormon colony in Kahana. In doing so, light is also shed on the broader debate over defining the traditional Hawaiian system of …

Competition For Food And Space In A Heteromyid Community In The Great Basin Desert, Cliff A. Lemen, Patricia W. Freeman

Great Basin Naturalist

A series of removal experiments were performed on Dipodomys merriami, D. microps, and Perognathus longimembris to test for the importance of competition for food and microhabitats in a heteromyid community in the Great Basin Desert. Each of these species was removed singly to determine the short-term effects on the microhabitat preferences of the remaining species. We correctly predicted, based on differences in diet, that the removal of D. microps (a foliovore) would have no effect on D. merriami or P. longimembris (granivores). Using the dominance hierarchy theory, we correctly predicted that removal of a larger heteromyid, D. merriami, would have …

Consumption Of Fresh Alfalfa Hay By Mule Deer And Elk, Dennis D. Austin, Philip J. Urness

Great Basin Naturalist

Tame mule deer and elk were fed fresh alfalfa hay at night and given various alternate forages during the day. This schedule, simulating farmland depredation feeding, yielded consumption values for field-growing alfalfa hay.

Observations Of Captive Rocky Mountain Mule Deer Behavior, Douglas K. Halford, W. John Arthur Iii, A. William Alldredge

Great Basin Naturalist

Observations were made on the behavior of a captive herd of Rocky Mountain mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus hemionus). Comparisons in general behavior patterns were made between captive and wild deer. Similar behavior was exhibited by captive and wild deer. Captive deer (as well as other species) may be useful for study of certain behavioral aspects of their wild counterparts.

Sequence Of Epiphyseal Fusion In The Rocky Mountain Bighorn Sheep, Danny Walker

Great Basin Naturalist

Sequence and timing of epiphyseal fusion of the postcranial skeleton of Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis canadensis) was examined. Ages up to four years can be determined. Slight differences were found in the time of fusion between males and females. These do not prevent determining the age of a skeleton within a period of two or three months, an accuracy comparable to existing techniques that involve tooth eruption schedules, horn annulations, or incisor cemental annulations.

Helminth Parasites Of The Wyoming Ground Squirrel, Spermophilus Elegans Kennicott, 1863, Larry M. Shults, Nancy L. Stanton

Great Basin Naturalist

Helminth parasites of the Wyoming ground squirrel, Spermophilus elegans Kennicott, 1863, were surveyed from two environmentally different habitats within Wyoming. A total of four helminth species were identified. Three helminth species were found in 419 hosts collected in a mesic habitat including one species of adult cestode, Hymenolepis citelli, and two species of nematodes, Citellinema bifurcatum and Syphacia citelli. Only larval cestodes (Taenia taxidiensis) were found infecting 335 Wyoming ground squirrels collected from a xeric habitat.

A Disjunct Ponderosa Pine Stand In Southeastern Oregon, Arthur Mckee, Donald Knutson

Great Basin Naturalist

An isolated stand of ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa) is surviving on an extremely harsh site in southeastern Oregon. Seed production is low because of insects, primarily pine coneworm (Dioryctria auranticella), feeding in developing cones. Seedling establishment is infrequent and difficult because of drought and coarse, rocky soils. A rock-mulch soil surface probably reduces interspecific competition. Because stand size is small (< 2 ha, 57 individuals in 1977) and genetic variability is therefore limited, individual differences in diameter growth are probably due to microsite differences. Mycorrhizae, which could aid tree survival, were absent from a small sample of surface roots. Although the stand was enlarging in 1977, the site is sufficiently severe that local extinction is a possibility.

Habitat And Community Relationships Of Cliffrose (Cowania Mexicana Var. Stansburiana) In Central Utah, K. P. Price, J. D. Brotherson

Great Basin Naturalist

Cliffrose (Cowania mexicana var. stansburiana [Torr.] Jepson) community measurements were taken in central Utah. Data revealed a high between-site similarity of 78.5%. Soil analysis for sites showed most macronutrients, and some micronutrients, relatively low. Cover of cliffrose was found to increase with increases in soil magnesium (p ≤ 0.01). Plants growing on the sites have adapted life cycles to exploit moisture and nutrients during seasons of maximum availability. Prevalent species in the community were cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum), cliffrose, madwort (Alyssum alyssoides), and bluebunch wheatgrass (Agropyron spicatum). Annual grasses were the most important life …

To Resurrect, Derek Gullino

Inscape

Jewel said, "I ain't having no more dead people in this house,'' when the whole town saw Carrie lean over the side of the coffin and open Manny's mouth. Carrie was barely ten, and her voice, like all the girls her age, was louder and carried farther than the horn in my daddy's new Ford, so everyone heard her say, "What you got in your mouth this time, Fatso? It better not be no roly-polys like I saw you eating last week or no boogers neither.'' Even I heard and I was way over in the corner talking with Zeke …

Vivo Orfeo, David Veloz

Inscape

Jerry pulled his knife out of Orfeo's back. He stuck it in the sand and pulled it out again clean. Orfeo moaned and turned over. He had passed out on the sandbar after Jerry threw a warm beer at his head to get him to stop singing. Orfeo sang a high note and collapsed into the canoe. "You sea cow. Let's move," Jerry said. Orfeo rolled over in the sand and saw the penknife in Jerry's hand. "Hey, all right!" Orfeo didn't even know he'd been stabbed.

Corned Beef For Dinner, Cherry Douch

Inscape

Ted would leave, once more, today. He stood, holding his cordless pyjamas up, looking out the bedroom window. The hills behind his wife 's house folded toward each other like a bunched quilt; humps of her violets grew on the edge of the orchard. She was not in their bed. Huia's hand was on Wehe's shoulder as she squeezed the sleep out of her eyes. "It's five o'clock," she said. " Rain's stopped and the tide's right. You want to go with me?" She did. She pulled herself out of bed on Huia's hand. She looked at her mother and …

The Smiling Man, John David Wolverton

Inscape

You could no longer distinguish single words or even voices. Out in the dining hall the inmates' shouting broke in waves against the wall, reverberating from the farther wall. The floor thrummed like a guitar string. Most of the cooks were backing away from the service doors. They would take a step, glance back, take another step, ready to run for the escape exit. Only three of the cooks remained with Fletcher, who lay on his back with a bloody nose, clawing the wall with one hand, unconscious.

Sleeping Out, Lance Larsen

Inscape

Frank got the idea driving home from work. He crossed the ravine and was turning into Applewood Estates when he saw it-an orange pup tent set up under a willow. The ropes that kept the sides from sagging were pulled taut, and the flaps were open. Two rolled-up sleeping bags lay inside. It was McMichael's place, probably his twins pretending they were in the mountains. Frank was thinking how it would be for them--bedding down in sleeping bags lined with cotton pheasants. Canteens, flashlights, comic books, smuggled candybars.

Mormonism And Early Christianity, Hugh Nibley

Maxwell Institute Publications

From the outset of his career, Dr. Hugh Nibley has been centrally concerned with primitive Christianity, especially the shadowy era between the New Testament proper and the emergence and the triumph of the Catholic Church and Holy Roman Empire. That is the era treated in the nine essays collected in this volume.

The essays cover such subjects as early accounts of Jesus’ childhood, the Savior’s forty-day ministry after his resurrection, baptism for the dead in ancient times, the passing of the primitive church, and the early Christian prayer circle.

Each essay examines the close connection between the practices and the …

Beyond National Concerns: A Limnologist And World Peace, Arthur D. Hasler

Swiss American Historical Society Newsletter

I have just returned from a four month tour of duty in Germany where I had opportunity to talk with a fair cross section of Germans and to visit some biological laboratories. In Munich I visited the Zoologisches Institut built by Rockefeller for Professor K. van Frisch. It was here van Frisch and his students investigated the problems of sensory physiology: hearing, color vision, smell, taste, "Schreckstoff" in fish; here also was produced a classic work in animal behavior, "Die 'Sprache' der Bienen," an experimental analysis of the methods of communication among bees. This Institut is badly bombed; only the …
