An Examination Of Southeastern U. S. Satyrium (Lycaenidae: Theclinae), Part Two: The Identification And Delimitation Of Nominate Satyrium Liparops And The Description Of A New Subspecies From West Central Peninsular Florida, Ronald R. Gatrelle

The Taxonomic Report of the International Lepidoptera Survey

The name Satyrium liparops liparops has traditionally been applied to all liparops populations from eastern Georgia southward. This tradition is shown to be in error. The type locality of nominate liparops is restricted by original description to Screven County, Georgia. A neotype is designated from Screven County and deposited in the Museum of the Hemispheres (MOTH) collection Goose Creek, South Carolina. The range of nominate liparops is projected to be from coastal South Carolina across the far southern United States (including the Florida panhandle) and into Texas. The population in west central peninsular Florida is described as new subspecies S …

“Nuclear Engineering is the advanced degree of one of you who has lived in 35 locations worldwide during his career in the navy. Don't you think it would have been fun to be a speechwriter and Campaign Coordinator for a member of parliament in the British House of Commons ... see if you can figure out who that was.

The Two-Year Grid, Eric Angelini

Word Ways

In the rectangular grid below, the 21 number names from 0 through 20 each appear once, along with the eight additional number-names 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, and 100. Both the horizontal number names and the vertical ones add to 365, the number of days in a year. Furthermore, all number-names are connected, forming a single network. Can anyone construct a grid smaller than 16x17 in which all this is possible?

Twenty Thousand Palindromic "And" S, Bill A. O'Connor

Word Ways

On page 96 of I Love Me, Vol. I, Michael Donner suggests that the ordinary possibilities of the English palindrome are so close to being exhausted that, if new work is to be produced, it may become necessary to enlist the aid of obscure abbreviations in the collection by Ralph de Sola. Word Ways editor A. Ross Eckler perhaps also has in mind the 'drome may be used up when he remarks on page 291 of the November issue that palindromes are not very important to Word Ways because they follow well-trodden paths.

Onomatopoeia And Language Perception, Joshua Nash

Word Ways

"Voon-voon" says the dog in Laos whilst in Romania the same creature says "ham-ham". The question we may ask here is whether dogs in different locals are saying different things or whether we humans perceive what they are saying differently? It seems common sense that a labrador in Asia and Europe will make the same noise completely independent of its surroundings. Why then does an English speaker, who is thinking "woof-woof", laugh on finding out that in Indonesia, humans perceive dogs as making the sound "gong-gong"?

Two Sonnet Anagram Puzzles, Michael Keith

Word Ways

The poem below is stanza XXVI from the poem "Picthorn Manor" by American poet and critic Amy Lowell (1874-1925). Below it is a sonnet (in the usual form, with fourteen lines of iambic pentameter and ABAB CDCD EFEF GG rhyme scheme) made from the letters in Ms. Lowell's poem. Aside form being an anagram, the sonnet has another unusual feature. Can you spot it?

Presidential Name Games, Jim Puder

Word Ways

As familiar as we my think we are with the name of the U.S. presidents, a listing of their fully names might still provide some surprises. For example, how many of us can name, offhand, the three presidents whose first names are known to few these days? And who among us can rattle off, without consulting a reference, the middle names of Rutherford B. Hayes, James A. Garfield, and Gerald R. Ford? In this article, we explore the roster of the full names of the U.S. presidents in search of amusement, amazement, and perhaps an occult revelation or two.

Dual Perms, Rex Gooch

Word Ways

This article responds to the challenge set by Hugo Brandt Corstius in the May 2001 issue of Word Ways. He sought pairs of words that contained the same letters (i.e., permutations of each other), which were dual in the sense that a position occupied a vowel in one was occupied by consonant in the other. This article takes vowel to mean one of A, E, I, O, or U.

Number Trees And Networks, A. Ross Eckler, David Mroice

Word Ways

TWENTY-SEVEN has eleven letters, ELEVEN has six letters, SIX has three letters, THREE has five letters, and FIVE has four letters. No matter what number name one starts with, one always ends up at FOUR. Suppose instead one adds the number of letters in the name to the number itself to obtain a new number-name: TWENTY-SEVEN with eleven letters goes to THIRTY-EIGHT, and this sequence continues with FORTY-NINE, FIFTY-EIGHT,... ending with one of the last eight hundred number names in the thousand vigintillions.

The Suet Alphabet Revisited, Darryl Francis

Word Ways

In the August 1997 Word Ways, Nyr Indictor posted the Suet Alphabet problem. Namely, can each of the 26 letters be added in turn to SUET, and rearranged to provide a real word? Examples were given for 25 of the letters, but the rearrangement of SUET and Z was problematical.

Planet Packing Revisited, Dana Richards

Word Ways

Ross Eckler discusses a problem in his article "Planet Packing" in the May 2001 Word Ways: given a list of words, such as the names of the planets, how efficiently can they be packed into a single string of characters so that each word on the list can be read off left to right (but not necessarily contiguously)? He hypothesizes "there is no guarantee that any algorithm will end up with a minimum string." Since the design and analysis of algorithms has been my area of research for some 25 years, this caught my attention. Informally, an algorithm is a …

Two Dual Cryptograms, Candice Hirst

Word Ways

This was prompted by Doug McIlroy's "Dual Cryptograms" (Word Ways, August 1997). A dual cryptogram is two texts, each of which results from enciphering the other using a substitution cipher. This means that occurrences of the same letter in the first text are replaced by occurrences of the same letter in the second; different letters in the first are replaced by different letters in the second. No letter may stay as itself. Spaces are preserved; punctuation may be added or removed at will, and the distinction between lower and upper case is ignored. Although Doug treated hyphens like spaces, I …

Day And Color Packing, Darryl Francis

Word Ways

Ross Eckler explored planet packing in the May 2001 issue, attempting to generate an algorithm to create a string of letters from which the names of the planets could be read sequentially. Ross suggested readers might like to explore possible strings for other groups of names.

"Ironing The Bugs Out": Mixed Metaphors, Don Hauptman

Word Ways

The mixed metaphor has long been vilified by language lovers. After all, a metaphor per se is often a stretch. The attempt to combine two or more vastly dissimilar figures of speech usually result in a jarring incongruity and an absurd image. Such clashes are often amusing, although the humor is strictly unintentional.
