A Systematic Revision Of The Genus Laelaps S. Str. (Acari: Mesostigmata) Of The Ethiopian Region, C. Selby Herrin, Vernon J. Tipton Jun 1976

A Systematic Revision Of The Genus Laelaps S. Str. (Acari: Mesostigmata) Of The Ethiopian Region, C. Selby Herrin, Vernon J. Tipton

Great Basin Naturalist

This paper presents the results of a systematic study of mites of the genus Laelaps s. str. collected from small mammals of the Ethiopian region. Specimens taken from approximately 100,000 small mammals were examined from a wide variety of habitats and localities. The Ethiopian fauna of Laelaps mites includes 31 species. 4 of which are described as new: L. parasimillimus, L. myomys, L. malacomys, and L. acomys. A numerical taxonomic analysis was made, the results of which were used in the preparation of a proposed classification of the African species of Laelaps. A key for identification of females is given, …


Late Pleistocene–Early Holocene History Of Coniferous Woodlands In The Lucerne Valley Region, Mohave Desert, California, Thomas Jackson King Jr. Jun 1976

Late Pleistocene–Early Holocene History Of Coniferous Woodlands In The Lucerne Valley Region, Mohave Desert, California, Thomas Jackson King Jr.

Great Basin Naturalist

The composition of four radiocarbon-dated, late Pleistocene woodrat middens is reported and analyzed. A date of 11,850 ± 550 BP records the first reported macrofossil occurrence in this region of late Pleistocene Pinus monophylla-Juniperus osteosperma woodlands. A 7,800 ± 350 BP date documents the most recent J. osteosperma woodlands in this presently coniferless desert area, while a date of 12,100 ± 400 BP is the oldest record of juniper woodlands among the four middens. Other juniper and creosote bush desert flora radiocarbon dates along with six pollen profiles were obtained. The research suggests that as recently as 7,800 BP this …

A Taxonomic Evaluation Of Elymus Simplex (Poaceae), Stephan L. Hatch Jun 1976

A Taxonomic Evaluation Of Elymus Simplex (Poaceae), Stephan L. Hatch

Great Basin Naturalist

An investigation was made of Elymus simplex to evaluate the current taxonomy and cytology. The study included herbarium specimens from Wyoming and Colorado and population samples from the type location in Wyoming. The most important taxonomic characters noted are: numbers of spikelets per node, lemma awn length, and habitat. The chromosome number of E. simplex is reported as 2n=28. E. simplex is a distinct species and should not be confused with E. salina, from which it differs morphologically.

Hindia Sphaeroidalis Duncan From The Devonian Of Nevada (Porifera), J. Keith Rigby, Michael Murphy Jun 1976

Hindia Sphaeroidalis Duncan From The Devonian Of Nevada (Porifera), J. Keith Rigby, Michael Murphy

Great Basin Naturalist

The small, spherical, lithistid sponge, Hindia sphaeroidalis Duncan, 1879, is reported from the Devonian and Silurian of the Great Basin for the first time. Devonian specimens came from the Emsian Bartine Member of the McColley Formation from near Roberts Creek, Roberts Mountains, and from the Eifelian part of the Nevada Group near Bishops Creek, north of Wells, Nevada. The Silurian occurrence, questioned because of poor preservation, is from the Laketown Dolomite, on Tunnel Spring Mountain in western Millard County, Utah.


Aquatic And Semiaquatic Heteroptera Of The Grand Canyon (Insecta: Hemiptera), John T. Polhemus, Martin S. Polhemus Jun 1976

Aquatic And Semiaquatic Heteroptera Of The Grand Canyon (Insecta: Hemiptera), John T. Polhemus, Martin S. Polhemus

Great Basin Naturalist

The aquatic and semiaquatic Hemiptera from 12 localities in Marble Canyon and Grand Canyon are reported, along with those from 1 locality in the Escalante Canyon. Fourteen species are recorded and compared to the water-bug fauna of the southwestern United States and western Mexico. Ochterus rotundus n. sp. is described from the Grand Canyon and the mountains of western Mexico.


Three New Species Of Nearctic Isoperla (Plecoptera), Stanley W. Szczytko, Kenneth W. Stewart Jun 1976

Three New Species Of Nearctic Isoperla (Plecoptera), Stanley W. Szczytko, Kenneth W. Stewart

Great Basin Naturalist

Nymphs and adults of three new species of Isoperla are described from reared material. I. sagittata is known only from southeastern Texas, I. Coushatta has been collected in East Texas and Oklahoma, and I. jewetti occurs in the Basin and Range Mountains of West Texas. The male aedeagii, female subgenital plates, and nymphal mouthparts are diagnostic in all three species.

The Streblid Batflies Of Venezuela (Diptera: Streblidae), Rupert L. Wenzel Jun 1976

The Streblid Batflies Of Venezuela (Diptera: Streblidae), Rupert L. Wenzel

Brigham Young University Science Bulletin, Biological Series

This study was based on more than 36,000 Venezuelan Streblidae representing ca. 115 species and species complexes in 22 genera, taken from more than 6,800 hats of 95 species. Two new genera are proposed and 45 new species are described. The morphology is briefly discussed and terminology is revised. Collection data are given for each species, together with discussions on variability and host relationships when pertinent. Keys to genera and species arc included, as well as illustrations of most species. Noctiliostrebla dubia (Rudow) and the male of Parastrebla handleyi Wenzel are characterized, and relationships of Speiseria are discussed. New Taxa– …

The Swiss In Hawaii, Niklaus R. Schweizer May 1976

The Swiss In Hawaii, Niklaus R. Schweizer

Swiss American Historical Society Newsletter

SWITZERLAND AND HAWAII, at first glance, seem to have little to do with each other and any connection appears coincidental. A high government official in Honolulu recently was of that opinion and many would have readily corroborated his notions.


Editor's Remarks, Heinz K. Meier May 1976

Editor's Remarks, Heinz K. Meier

Swiss American Historical Society Newsletter

It is my sad duty to inform the members of the Swiss American Historical Society of the recent death of Emil J. Schaefer. Emil Schaefer was born on May 10, 1892, in Zurich and came to this country in his late teens. After some traveling he settled in Madison, Wisconsin, where he worked in several capacities, founded a family and became one of t he active members of a number of Swiss organizations.


The Meaning Of The American Bicentennial, Hans R. Guggisberg May 1976

The Meaning Of The American Bicentennial, Hans R. Guggisberg

Swiss American Historical Society Newsletter

People who deal professionally with historical research , historical writing or the teaching of history, tend somewhat to look down their noses at anniversaries which commemorate historical events or personalities. Why is it, they ask, that the general public suddenly seems to take an interest in history when the latter takes the shape of a roundnumbered date, while otherwise in our world so exclusively concerned with the present and the future, none but the professional historians still believe that we can learn from the past? It would not be easy to answer that question and I shall not attempt to …


A Study Of Historical Evidences Related To Lds Church As Reflected In Volumes Xiv Through Xxvi Of The Journal Of Discourses, Terry J. Aubrey Apr 1976

A Study Of Historical Evidences Related To Lds Church As Reflected In Volumes Xiv Through Xxvi Of The Journal Of Discourses, Terry J. Aubrey

Theses and Dissertations

The material in this study is a follow-up of a thesis done by Paul C. Richards entitled, "A Study of Evidences Related to LDS Church History as Reflected in Volumes I through XIII of the Journal of Discourse." That same basic format has been employed in treating the last thirteen volumes of the Discourses.

The Discourses contains addresses delivered by General Authorities of the LDS Church and others from 1854 to 1886. Until Richards did his thesis, no one had compiled an index of those volumes that dealt exclusively with history related to the LDS Church. This study …
