New Species And Synonymy In The Genus Meleoma (Neuroptera, Chrysopidae), With A Discussion Of Genitalic Homologies, Phillip A. Adams Aug 1969

New Species And Synonymy In The Genus Meleoma (Neuroptera, Chrysopidae), With A Discussion Of Genitalic Homologies, Phillip A. Adams

Postilla

Three new species of Meleoma are described, carapana from Mexico, poolei from Venezuela, and festivata from Colombia. M. dolicharthra (Navás) ( = M. cavifrons Banks, new synonymy) is redescribed; M. tezcucana (Banks) (from Chrysopa) new combination, is recorded from Arizona. The pseudopenis of Chrysopidae is homologous to the mediuncus; the secondary mediuncus of Meleoma derives from fused gonocoxite dorsal horns as found in M. poolei, members of Chrysopa s. str., and the Chrysopa lineaticornis group.

The Status Of The Genera Ecpleopus, Arthroseps, And Aspidolaemus (Sauria, Teiidae), Thomas Uzzell Jul 1969

The Status Of The Genera Ecpleopus, Arthroseps, And Aspidolaemus (Sauria, Teiidae), Thomas Uzzell

Postilla

The genus Ecpleopus is diagnosed within Group II of the Teiidae by the elongate, keeled dorsal scales arranged in diagonal and transverse rows, smooth ventral scales in diagonal and transverse rows, first superciliary elongate, first supraocular in contact with the frontonasal and loreal, and superciliary series incomplete so that only first and fourth supraoculars are separated from the palpebrals. The usual presence of plicae on the anterior part of the tongue suggests relationships with Ptychoglossus and Alopoglossus, which are distinctive within Group II because they have completely plicate tongues. Leposoma and Arthrosaura also appear to be related to Ecpleopus. The …

Comments On The Avifauna Of Tanzania, Ii, S. Dillon Ripley, Gerd H. Heinrich Jun 1969

Comments On The Avifauna Of Tanzania, Ii, S. Dillon Ripley, Gerd H. Heinrich

Postilla

Buccanodon olivaceum ulugurensis and Viridubucco leucomystax meridionalis (both Capitonidae), new subspecies, are described on the basis of morphological characters. Evidence is presented that Dendropicos fuscescens (Vieillot) and Dendropicos lafresnayi Malherbe ( = D. f. lafresnayi Malherbe) are distinct taxa. The distribution of Smithornis capensis (Smith) is redefined based on an examination of a large series of specimens from eastern Africa. Smithornis capensis meinertzhageni van Someren, S. c. suahelicus Grote, S. c. shimba van Someren, and S. c. chyulu van Someren are reinstated as valid subspecies and a key to their identification is given. Macrodipteryx longipennis (Shaw) is recorded as new …

A Probable Pteridosperm With Eremopterid Foliage From The Allegheny Group Of Northern Pennsylvania, T. Delevoryas, T. N. Taylor Jun 1969

A Probable Pteridosperm With Eremopterid Foliage From The Allegheny Group Of Northern Pennsylvania, T. Delevoryas, T. N. Taylor

Postilla

Compressed fossilized foliage most comparable to that of Eremopteris zamioides (Bertrand) Kidston occurs in shale associated with coal in the Allegheny Group in northern Pennsylvania. In association with this foliage are abundant samaropsid seeds and small, apparently microsporangiate organs. Although close proximity of disconnected plant parts as fossils is not evidence in itself that these plant parts were originally connected, it is tempting to believe that these leaves, seeds, and microsporangia were parts of the same species. Furthermore, there have been a number of previous reports associating samaropsid seeds with Eremopteris. Additional frondlike structures with the same basic construction as …

Karyological Heterogamety Of Deep-Sea Fishes, T. R. Chen Mar 1969

Karyological Heterogamety Of Deep-Sea Fishes, T. R. Chen

Postilla

Among 25 deep-sea fish species karyologically investigated, digamety is confirmed in 12. Observations were based on the consistent appearance of heteromorphic chromosome pairs, of asymmetrical and atypically behaving "sex" bivalents, and of two different chromosome counts from metaphase II. The occurrence of such digamety in other lower vertebrates is discussed. It occurs more frequently among teleostean fishes and other lower vertebrates than previously expected.

A New Genus And Species Of Teiid Lizard From Bolivia, Thomas Uzzell Feb 1969

A New Genus And Species Of Teiid Lizard From Bolivia, Thomas Uzzell

Postilla

Opipeuter xestus, new genus, new species, is placed in Group II of the family Teiidae (Squamata, Reptilia) because it has five clawed digits on all four feet, the nasals separated by a frontonasal, and the nostril pierced in the middle of the nasal scale. It differs from other known members of Group II in having the combination of total absence of keeled scales and a relatively enormous transparent disc in the lower eyelid. The arrangement of enlarged calcareous spines in the hemipenis distinguishes the new taxon; enlarged spines are present on the basal part of the median welt, and in …

A New Theropod Dinosaur From The Lower Cretaceous Of Montana, John H. Ostrom Feb 1969

A New Theropod Dinosaur From The Lower Cretaceous Of Montana, John H. Ostrom

Postilla

Deinonychus antirrhopus, a new genus and species of theropod dinosaur is described from the Cloverly Formation (Lower Cretaceous) of southern Montana. The species is characterized by a highly specialized pes bearing a very large, trenchant claw on digit II, a highly raptorial manus with a very mobile carpus, and a specialized caudal series with extremely long prezygapophyseal and chevron rods. The new species is closely related to Dromaeosaurus albertensis, which features similar specialization of the second pedal digit, and is referred to the family Dromaeosauridae (=Dromaeosaurinae Matthew and Brown, 1922). Other species with comparable pes structure that may be referred …

The Ekman Vertical Velocity In An Enclosed Β-Plane Ocean, W. Lawrence Gates Jan 1969

The Ekman Vertical Velocity In An Enclosed Β-Plane Ocean, W. Lawrence Gates

Journal of Marine Research

The vertical flux beneath the surface boundary layer is determined by balancing the divergence induced in this layer by the prescribed wind stress and surface temperature with the divergence of an assumed geostrophic interior ftow. In this manner the equilibrium surface height over an enclosed basin is formulated as a boundary-value problem, the solution of which leads directly to the Ekman vertical velocity....

Internal Wave Propagation Normal To A Geostrophic Current, David Healey, Paul H. Leblond Jan 1969

Internal Wave Propagation Normal To A Geostrophic Current, David Healey, Paul H. Leblond

Journal of Marine Research

It is shown that (i) internal gravity waves propagating along a horizontal density gradient in a uniformly rotating ocean can exist for a range of slightly smaller frequencies than is possible in the absence of such a gradient, (ii) such waves exhibit a phase difference from top to bottom, and (iii) they exchange energy with the geostrophic current, which balances the density-induced pressure gradient....

Redefinition Of Salinity, Warren S. Wooster, Arthur J. Lee, Gunter Dietrich Jan 1969

Redefinition Of Salinity, Warren S. Wooster, Arthur J. Lee, Gunter Dietrich

Journal of Marine Research

Two definitions of salinity have been in use since the early part of the present century (Knudsen 1901, Forch et al. 1902). According to the procedural definition, salinity is the amount (in grams) of dissolved solid material in a kilogram of seawater after all the bromine has been replaced by an equivalent quantity of chlorine, after all the carbonate has been converted to oxide, and after all of the organic matter has been destroyed....

Comparison Between Wind Waves At Sea And In The Laboratory, G. D. Hess, G. M. Hidy, E. J. Plate Jan 1969

Comparison Between Wind Waves At Sea And In The Laboratory, G. D. Hess, G. M. Hidy, E. J. Plate

Journal of Marine Research

Correlations between laboratory and geophysical data are presented for certain statistical properties of wind waves. The parameters chosen include: (i) relationships between wave height and the height of the highest one-third or one-tenth waves, as given by a Rayleigh probability distribution, and (ii) amplitude spectra for waves, as given by Phillips' equilibrium theory. The correlation between laboratory results and geophysical data is satisfactory over a wide range of wave size.

On The Roles Of Vertical Velocity And Eddy Conductivity In Maintaining A Thermocline, Roy Overstreet, Maurice Rattray Jr. Jan 1969

On The Roles Of Vertical Velocity And Eddy Conductivity In Maintaining A Thermocline, Roy Overstreet, Maurice Rattray Jr.

Journal of Marine Research

Steady-state solutions of the vertical heat-balance equation have been obtained for various assumed vertical profiles of the vertical component of velocity and eddy conductivity. Relationships have been found for the depth and the thickness of the thermocline in terms of parameters that characterize the vertical velocity and eddy conductivity. Two of the solutions agree with observations in regions having respectively divergent and convergent Ekman mass transport.

Concentrations Of Mn, Co, Cu, Fe, And Zn In The Northern Indian Ocean And Arabian Sea, Graham Topping Jan 1969

Concentrations Of Mn, Co, Cu, Fe, And Zn In The Northern Indian Ocean And Arabian Sea, Graham Topping

Journal of Marine Research

Samples of seawater from the Indian Ocean (RRS DISCOVERY Sts. 5102-5206) and the Arabian Sea (Sts. 5077-5094), obtained in 1962 through 1964 with N.I.O. sampling bottles, have been analyzed for Mn, Co, Cu, Fe, and Zn. This investigation has indicated that, in the northwestern Indian Ocean and the Arabian Sea, higher values of these trace elements are found in the surface layers compared with the bottom layer and that there is a tendency for these trace elements to decrease in concentration with depth....
