News From The President, Leo Schelbert

Swiss American Historical Society Newsletter

It is my sad duty to announce to the members of the Swiss American Historical Society that Dr. Imre de Kosinski died unexpectedly on August 17, 1975. The Society has thus lost an active and trusted member who - as former Treasurer - has decisively contributed to its successful revitalization. Dr. de Kosinski was born in Budapest, Hungary, 'Where he earned his doctorate in political science. In 1944 he left his native country and -went to Switzerland to assist the Hungarian goverment in exile. He then married Edith Nussbaumer of Basel. In 1954 Dr. de Kosinski and his family moved …

A Swiss Patrician In New York City's Elite: Henri Casimir De Rham, 1785-1873, Robert H. Billigmeier

Swiss American Historical Society Newsletter

In the early nineteeth century, the Swiss who left for the New World faced the travail of a long journey over land to French ports or over land and by river vessels down the Rhine to ports of embarcation in Germany or the Netherlands. After the strenuous journey to the coast camme the hazards of the Atlantic crossing which still loomed ominously foreboding in the minds of emigrants desinted for North America. Some travellers, like Johannes and Anna Schweizer of Hemberg, St. Gallen, Brought more than the usual amount of baggage and sufferened the additional difficulties their encumbrances occasioned.

Photoperiodic Responses Of Phenologically Aberrant Populations Of Pierid Butterflies (Lepidoptera), Arthur M. Shapiro

Great Basin Naturalist

Two local pierid populations in western North America showing regionally aberrant phenologies were investigated in the laboratory. Neither a partially bivoltine Pieris napi from the Sierra Nevada foothills in El Dorado County, California (surrounded by univoltine populations), nor a vernal-univoltine P. occidentalis from a foothill outlier of the Colorado Front Range (below bivoltine populations) showed unusual responses to controlled developmental regimes in the laboratory. Their unusual phenologies are hypothesized to be the product of microclimate. Failure to undergo genetic adaptation to unusual microclimates is discussed with particular reference to the presence or absence of gene flow from nearby normal populations.

Nectar Composition Of Hawkmoth-Visited Species Of Oenothera (Onagraceae), Robert E. Stockhouse Ii

Great Basin Naturalist

Nectars of 11 hawkmoths-visited taxa of Oenothera were studied. Qualitatively the sugars of all taxa were identical. The amount of nectar produced per night among the taxa was quite variable. Potential energy available from nectar of an average flower of O. caespitosa was determined to be 42.1 calories.

Body Size, Organ Size, And Sex Ratios In Adult And Yearling Belding Ground Squirrels, Martin L. Morton, Robert J. Parmer

Great Basin Naturalist

A five-year study of Belding ground squirrels was conducted at high altitude in the Sierra Nevada. Body weight and body length varied seasonally depending upon the fat depletion-deposition cycle, age, and sex. Adult males tended to be heavier and longer than adult females, particularly in the last half of the active season. A similar pattern was present in yearlings. Yearling squirrels were often distinguishable from adults on the basis of body size. Mean body weights were greater in adults throughout the season, and mean body lengths were greater in adults through the first half of the season. Adults also had …

Invasion Of Big Sagebrush (Artemisia Tridentata) By White Fir (Abies Concolor) On The Southeastern Slopes Of The Warner Mountains, California, Thomas R. Vale

Great Basin Naturalist

White fir (Abies concolor) appears to be invading vegetation dominated by big sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata) on the southeastern slopes of the Warner Mountains of extreme northeastern California. The time of initial tree establishment within the shrubs was determined by increment borings. Possible causes of the invasion involving specific climatic conditions, fire history, and grazing use of the area during years of the establishment were explored. Heavy grazing by domestic livestock, particularly sheep, appears responsible for altering the sagebrush-grass vegetation and allowing tree invasion.

Morphology Of Ephemeral And Persistent Leaves Of Three Subspecies Of Big Sagebrush Grown In A Uniform Environment, W. T. Mcdonough, R. O. Harniss, R. B. Campbell

Great Basin Naturalist

Measurements were made of morphological characteristics of ephemeral and persistent leaves of three subspecies of big sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata Nutt.) grown in a uniform environment. No morphological feature clearly separated the subspecies. Genetic-environmental interactions on leaf morphology apparently reduce its value as a sole criterion for distinguishing the subspecies.

Distribution And Abundance Of The Black-Billed Magpie (Pica Pica) In North America, Carl E. Bock, Larry W. Lepthien

Great Basin Naturalist

Analysis of Audubon Society Christmas bird count data and certain environmental variables shows the degree to which the Black-billed Magpie is a bird of cool arid regions in North America. The abundance and distribution of this species appear to be limited by two major climatic barriers: increasing summer temperatures in the Southwest and increasing summer humidity and precipitation on the central plains.

A Revision Of The Nearctic Species Of Clinohelea Kieffer (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae), William L. Grogan Jr., Willis W. Wirth

Great Basin Naturalist

The seven species of Clinohelea known to inhabit North America are described and illustrated, and a key is provided for identification. Two species groups are recognized: the unimaculata group and the bimaculata group. Clinohelea longitheca and C. pseudonubifera are new. Clino-helea nebulosa (Malloch) is a synonym of C. curriei (Coquillett) NEW SYNONOMY.

Additional Records Of Reptiles From Jalisco, Mexico, Philip A. Medica, Rudolf G. Arndt, James R. Dixon

Great Basin Naturalist

Noteworthy records of reptiles from the state of Jalisco, Mexico, are presented. The first state records of Coleonyx elegans nemoralis, the second state record for Geophis tarascae, and notes on the distribution and reproduction of Eumeces brevirostris indubitus are discussed.

Urosaurus And Its Phylogenetic Relationship To Uta As Determined By Osteology And Myology (Reptilia: Iguanidae), Charles Fanghella, David F. Avery, Wilmer W. Tanner

Great Basin Naturalist

The status of the genus Urosaurus Hallowell and its relationship to the genus Uta Baird and Girard as presented in previous studies are reviewed. Additional data from the head and throat osteology and myology are included in the analysis. Each bone and muscle is measured, ratios determined, and the position noted. Five distinct anatomical differences are noted between Uta and Urosaurus, and it is concluded that both of these genera are sufficiently different to warrant generic status. Uta is considered to be phylogenetically more primitive.

The Diatom Flora Of The Goshen Ponds And Wet Meadows, Larry L. St. Clair

Theses and Dissertations

A taxonomic study of the diatoms of the Goshen ponds and adjacent wet meadows, Utah County, Utah, was conducted from April 1974 to March 1975. The diatom flora of these warm spring fed ponds consisted of thirty-five genera containing one hundred twenty-one species, twenty-eight varieties, and two forms. The flora was dominated primarily by the following genera: Achnanthes, Fragilaria, Synedra, Navicula, Cymbella, Terpsinoe, and Nitzschia. Nineteen plates with 150 illustrations accompany the text.

The Effect Of Altitude On Thyroid Function Of The Uinta Ground Squirrel (Citellus Armatus), Wendell Lee Wells

Theses and Dissertations

Thyroid uptake and distribution of 125I, concentrations of T4 and T3 in serum and thyroids and concentrations of TSH in serum and pituitaries were measured to determine thyroid function of Uinta Ground Squirrels (Citellus armatus) native to 5,400 and 9,000 feet elevations to evaluate alterations in the state of the thyroid due to increased altitude. Uptake of 125I was 60 percent lower by squirrels from 9,000 feet. Incorporation of 125I into T3 was greater at the higher elevation, but absolute thyroid T3 concentrations were similar at both elevations. No significant differences were found in serum T3 concentrations, but squirrels living …

The Effect Of Nitroalkanes On The Electrolytic Oxidation Of Tertiary Butyl Amine And Tertiary Amyl Amine, Karl Lloyd Bergen

Theses and Dissertations

The electrolyses of tert.-butyl and tert.-amyl amines were run with a voltage of approximately 3v., as measured across the cell, with and without the presence of 1-2% nitro-tert.-alkane. A graphite anode was used; the supporting electrolyte was NaClO4; the solvent was the reacting amine(s) with 10-20% water to solubilize the NaClO4. The products were azo compounds, azoxy compounds, 1,3-disubstituted ureas and traces of nitroso compounds. In the case of tert.-butyl amine di-tert.-butyl carbodiimide was also shown to be a product. The presence of nitro compounds increased the yields of azoxy and nitroso compounds and decreased the yields of azo compounds. …
