Report on Collections of Birds Made by United States Naval Medical Research Unit No. 2 in the Pacific War Area.Lt. Rollin H. Baker

In January 1954 I received from Dr Harry Hoogstraal of the United States Naval Medical Research Unit no. 3, Cairo, Egypt, a collection of ticks for investigation. In the monograph of Nuttall, Warburton, Cooper & Robinson (1911) these specimens were run down to Ixodes ugandanus Neumann, but in view of the constant differences between them I recognize the present material as a new species. I assign the name hoogstraali to them in consideration of Harry Hoogstraal's kindness and generosity in supplying me with tick material. Unfortunately the entire collection consists of females.

Cordonema gen.nov. is proposed for C. venusta sp.nov. (type species), C. longifuniculata (Sobolev, 1952) comb.nov. and C. solonitzini (Sobolev, 1943) comb.nov. The genus differs from Skrjabinoclava Sobolev, 1943, in lacking laterally directed loops of the cordons. Cordonema venusta sp.nov. from Cinclus pallasi from Taiwan, differs from Cordonema longifuniculata in its spicule ratio of 4:1 compared to 2:1. It differs from C. solonitzini in having longer cordons in proportion to body size and in spicule ratio, which is 2:1 in C. solonitzini.Skrjabinoclava cincli (Yamaguti, 1935) Sobolev, 1943, is redescribed from males and females from the type host, Cinclus pallasi, from Taiwan. Skrjabinoclava decorata (Solonitzin, 1928) Sobolev, 1943, is redescribed from Lonchura fuscans from Borneo.Skrjabinoclava rallae sp.nov. from Rallus striatus from Palawan differs from S. horrida in its spicule ratio of 4.7:1 compared with 3.6–4:1, and in the structure of the right spicule. It differs from S. cincli in having shorter cordons and spicules. Skrjabinoclava amaurornae sp.nov. from Amaurornis phoenicurus from Palawan differs from S. alii Ali, 1968, in having longer cordons, shorter pharynx, and in the absence of a sclerotized bar connecting the first spines of the lateral rows. It differs from S. cincli in having larger body spines and a right spicule of different shape.Keys to the genera in Echinuriinae and the species in Cordonema and Skrjabinovlava are included.We wish to acknowledge the field support by Dr D. S. Rabor, Department of Biology, Silliman University, Dumaguete City, Negros Oriental, Republic of the Philippines, and the technicians of the Parasitology Department of Naval Medical Research Unit No. 2 for general assistance in procurement and examination of hosts. Dr John M. Kinsella kindly read the manuscript and improved it with his advice.

This paper studies the activities of American enterprises, technology, and related business organizations and engineering groups in China from the outbreak of World War i to the Pacific War and explains how these activities helped establish connections between China and the world. It borrows the concept of “networks” from Professor Sherman Cochran’s extraordinary book titled Encountering Chinese Networks, but broadens the scope of the term to include activity at the level of management and competition, as well as placing Sino-American relations in transnational perspective. Using a multi-archival approach to examine China’s major attempts at internationalization, this article focuses on the cases of the American Asiatic Association, the American Chamber of Commerce of China, and the Association of Chinese and American Engineers to show how these networks played important roles in the development of Chinese-American relations. It also discusses the issues of standardization, “scientific management,” and professionalism of entrepreneurs and engineers in influencing network making.
