As it was understood that the requirements of the Public Service would not permit the employment, during any part of the last year (1871), of either the ‘Porcupine’ or the ‘Lightning,’ for the continuation of the Deep-sea Researches carried on by my Colleagues and myself in the three preceding summers, it was not deemed advisable by us that the Council of the Royal Society should be moved to make any application to the Admiralty in furtherance of this object. Early in June, however, I was informed by the Hydrographer that as the Surveying-ship ‘Shearwater' under the command of Capt. Nares, was about to proceed to the Mediterranean, and would not be required to enter on her work until the end of October, an opportunity would present itself for making further researches on the Gibraltar Current, in which, if so disposed, I should have the advantage of being associated with Capt. Nares; whilst, if inclined to proceed as far as Egypt, I might have an opportunity of prosecuting in the Eastern basin of the Mediterranean some of the Physical and Biological researches which I had carried out last year in the Western.

The Mediterranean area is the locus of a variety of deep-sea chemosynthetic environments that have been exploited by bivalves of the family Solemyidae during Cenozoic to present time. Large solemyids represented by theSolemya doderleinigroup were widely distributed in Neogene deep-sea reducing habitats, including cold vent hydrocarbon sites. Based upon the diagnostic structure of the ligament,Solemya doderleini(Mayer), 1861 andS. subquadrata(Foresti), 1879 are moved to the genusAcharaxDall, 1908. After the Messinian Salinity CrisisAcharax doderleinire-colonized deep-sea sulphide environments up to the Pliocene at least. At present,Acharaxoccurs in similar settings in the adjacent eastern Atlantic Ocean. Thus far, large solemyids are not documented from the present deep Mediterranean Sea in spite of a vast number of seep and reducing habitats with chemosynthetic biota, especially concentrated in its Eastern basin. Promisingly, however, a single live juvenile specimen of Solemyidae has been recently found at bathyal depth associated with a pockmark in the Nile Deep Sea Fan.

The business of the office will be reviewed under the three heads into which it is subdivided, and which are as follows:— I. Ocean Meteorology. II. Weather Telegraphy. III. Land Meteorology of the British Islands. I. Ocean Meteorology. The most important task of the Committee at its first institution was The most important task of the Committee at its first institution was to examine and to take stock of all the instruments and materials for work existing in the Office. Inquiry was made into the actual condition and employment of all instruments outstanding on the books, whereby several were recovered, and several proved to be non-existent. Since 1867 no instruments have been supplied, except for the public service.

Welfare states have historically been built on values of egalitarianism and universalism and through high taxation that provides free education, health care, and social security for all. Ideally, this encourages participation of all citizens and formation of inclusive public sphere. In this welfare model, the public service media are also considered some of the main institutions that serve the well-being of an entire society. That is, independent, publicly funded media companies are perceived to enhance equality, citizenship, and social solidarity by providing information and programming that is driven by public rather than commercial interest. This article explores how the public service media and their values of universality, equality, diversity, and quality are affected by datafication and a platformed media environment. It argues that the embeddedness of public service media in a platformed media environment produces complex and contradictory dependencies between public service media and commercial platforms. The embeddedness has resulted in simultaneous processes of adapting to social media logics and datafication within public service media as well as in attempts to create alternative public media value-driven data practices and new public media spaces.

In this contemporary era, the forms of public service in Indonesia have become increasingly practical and instant. Conditions like this to illustrate how the phenomenon of McDonaldization began to plague into public service systems, one of which is with the public service system e-Filing DJP Online. E-Filing DJP Online is an application of public services based on information and communication technology implemented by the state tax execution agency to provide easy access to services for the Taxpayers in Indonesia. The purpose of this study is to see how the principles of McDonaldization are applied in the public service system of tax agencies through the DGT Online e-Filing system. The theory approach used is McDonaldization Theory by George Ritzer, and the concept of Public Service. The method used is qualitative descriptive, with literature review approach. The results show that the DGT Online e-Filing system applies the principles of McDonaldization in the form of its services, namely: efficiency, quantified and qualified services, predictability, control, and ultimately the rationale for irrationality of service.Keywords: McDonaldization, Public Service, Tax, e-Filing
