Expanding The Known Ranges Of The Phreatic Snails (Mollusca, Gastropoda, Cochliopidae) Of Texas, Usa, Dominique Alvear, Peter H. Diaz, J. Randy Gibson, Benjamin T. Hutchins, Benjamin Schwartz, Kathryn E. Perez

School of Integrative Biological & Chemical Sciences (Formerly Dept. of Biology)

The Edwards-Trinity Aquifer System of Texas, USA, one of the world’s most ecologically diverse groundwater systems, contains 14 species (across seven genera) of small, poorly studied freshwater snails. Their underground habitat and microscopic size make them difficult to study and identify. Most published records are from original species descriptions, and some have not been seen since they were described more than 100 years ago. Here we use ~150 new collections, including spring and hyporheic zone sampling from across the Texas portions of the Edwards-Trinity Aquifer System, to update the ranges of these species. Two species were very uncommon, if encountered …

Preserving Monumental Landscapes Under The Antiquities Act, Christine A. Klein

UF Law Faculty Publications

This Article examines the Antiquities Act, a 1906 statute that delegates authority to the President to establish national monuments on federal lands for the protection of prehistoric structures and relics. This modest statute, originally a scant one page in length, has set off a century of intermittent controversy that its drafters could not have anticipated. Although Congress probably intended that the statute merely protect archaeological ruins from looting by treasure hunters, presidents quickly began to utilize the statute to preserve large natural landscapes—ranging from President Theodore Roosevelt's establishment of the 800,000-acre Grand Canyon National Monument in 1908 to President Clinton's …

[Letters From The President.], John Muir

John Muir: A Reading Bibliography by Kimes (Muir articles 1866-1986)

JOHN MUIRΓÇöPRESIDENT OF THE SIERRA CLUB By William E. Colby * John Muir was the Sierra Club's first President and held that office for twenty-two yearsΓÇöuntil his death. The Sierra Club was organized in 1892 largely as a result of the wide-spread interest in California's wonderful mountain playgrounds,which had been aroused by his twenty years of preaching the necessity for their preservation before it should become too late. The Yosemite National Park had just been created as one result of his splendid work. While we could have this great leader of all true mountaineers and lovers of "pure wildness," it …

Yours with the gem of word painting of the ΓÇ£ouzelΓÇ¥ and your representative Photograph were duly received and appreciated. Your practice of patience on the ΓÇ£ConstanceΓÇ¥ could scarcely have been agreeable, but [ ] But I learn that the Construction besides train from Oakland comes up on our railroad regularly every day to the nearest tunnel six miles below Martinez, and there you could find much ground for geological study while passing an hour or so for the car coming to Martinez. After that I am sure you would be ready to appreciate the red cherries of Alhambra trees and …
