Two Populations

Evidence is presented that the western Plantago elongata Pursh and P. bigelovii Gray are distinct taxa, each with two populations recognized by the author as subspecies. Plantago elongata ssp. elongata, 2n = 12, is found from Manitoba to British Columbia and southward to Texas and California and ssp. pentasperma Bassett, 2n = 12 and 36, occurs west of the Coast, Cascade Mountains, and Sierra Nevada from British Columbia to California. Plantago bigelovii ssp. bigelovii, 2n = 20, is mainly a plant of the western coastline from British Columbia to California while ssp. californica (Greene) Bassett comb, nov., 2n = 20, is native only to California, Arizona, and Mexico. Plantago heterophylla Nutt., 2n = 12, is widely scattered in the south eastern portion of the United States from Texas to the eastern coastline, while Plantago pusilla Nutt., 2n = 12, occurs mainly in the central eastern states.

Shaped Section

Shell gorgets in the shape of a human face are well-known artifacts of the North American archaeological complex often termed the “Southern Cult.” These gorgets were usually made of a pear-shaped section of the outer whorl of the shell of the whelk (Busycon perversum). Though the whelk is found only on the South Atlantic and Gulf Coasts of the United States, gorgets of this material have been found as far north as Manitoba and Saskatchewan (Montgomery 1908).Recently the writer, in reading ethnographic accounts of the Kansa, was surprised to find descriptions, together with one native drawing, of what are very likely Southern Cult gorgets, used in Kansa war-bundle ceremonies as late as 1883. Since no one, so far as is known, has pointed out the persistence of th's archaeological trait in historic Kansa culture, a few notes are perhaps appropriate.The earlier of the 2 accounts, and one which is liable to be overlooked by most anthropologists, is J. Owen Dorsey's “Mourning and War Customs of the Kansas” (1885).

Eastern Aegean

In January 1996, tension escalated in the south-eastern Aegean as a result of Turkey's challenge of Greek sovereignty over the Imia rocks. Turkish ‘journalists’ from the newspaper Hurriyet occupied the Greek rocks and took down the Greek flag. This led to a build-up of Turkish and Greek naval forces near the rocks, thus creating a potential source of armed conflict. The tension was reduced after diplomatic intervention by the United States. However, there was a surprising absence of initiative on the part of the European Union in spite of the fact that the external borders of one of its member states had been challenged. The following will be a very brief account of the incident and the arguments of both parties, as evidenced primarily by their respective verbal notes.

Eurasian Species

Eleven of the 13 North American species of Xeromphalina are reported from Canada. A key to 14 North American and northern Eurasian species is given. Type specimens for 9 names were examined. In Canada, subgenus Heimiomyces is represented by two species: X. tenuipes (Schw.) Smith (sect. Heimiomyces) and X. fulvipes (Murr.) Smith (sect. Fulvipes). Subgenus Xeromphalina is represented by sections Xeromphalina and Mutabiles. Xeromphalina brunneola Miller and X. campanella (Batsch: Fr.) Kuhner & Maire are circumboreal species documented from across Canada. Xeromphalina kauffmanii Smith occurs in southern Quebec, Nova Scotia, Costa Rica, the eastern United States, and in Japan. Section Mutabiles stat.nov. is completely revised based on pigmentation of the pileipellis, on the distribution and types of pileocystidia, and on the pigmentation of the stipe, in addition to characters used previously in the genus. The term "circumcystidia" is coined for pileocystidia largely confined to a band around the pileus margin. In North America, the name X. cauticinalis (Fr.) Kühner & Maire frequently has been misapplied to X. cornui (Quél.) Favre, a common, widespread species in Canada. Xeromphalina fraxinophila Smith is reported from across Canada and the United States and in Eurasia. The name Marasmius cauticinalis is neotypified. In North America X. cauticinalis ssp. cauticinalis occurs in western areas. Xeromphalina cauticinalis ssp. pubescentipes (Peck) comb. et stat. nov. occurs in eastern areas in North America, in Japan, and together with ssp. cauticinalis in Europe. Xeromphalina parvibulbosa (Kauff. & Smith) comb.nov. occurs across North America. Xeromphalina cirris sp.nov. from montane or boreal coniferous forests floors in British Columbia, Ontario, Colorado, Idaho, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming and X. campanelloides sp.nov. from coastal British Columbia and Washington, and eastern montane New York and Quebec, on coniferous logs, are described. Rhizomorphs are formed by all Canadian species except X. tenuipes.

Two Populations

Evidence is presented that the western North American plant, Iva axillaris Pursh, consists of two populations which are recognized by the authors as subspecies. Subspecies axillaris, 2n = 36 and 54, is found only east of the Continental Divide and ssp. robustior comb, nov., 2n = 36 and 54, found mainly west of the Divide. A key is presented to show the differences between the two subspecies. Pollen morphology and seed production are discussed.

By the kindness of Prof. L. Bruner I have recently been able to study specimens of the South American Orphula pagana Stal., the type of the genus, and so to compare its structure with that of our native species latterly referred to Orphula. By this it appears, as Mr. Bruner has pointed out to me in correspondence, and as Mr. A. P. Morse has suggested (Psyche, VII., 407), that our species should be referred rathar to Orphulella, separated by Giglio-Tos from Orphula in 1894, though this was afterwards regarded by him as having only a subgeneric value Orphula in the stricter sense of the term is not, so far as I know, represented in the United States. Orphulella is the most widely distributed genus of North American Trypalinae and the most abundant in species. Those known to Prof. J. McNeill in his recent revision of our Tryxalinae were well separated by a table which I have here made the basis of a new one to include a considerable number of new forms. Besides describing these, I have added notes of distribution of the others, based on the collections in my hands, and given their principal synonymy.

Interesting Species

The discovery of an interesting species of Petalodes in a lot of Braconidae taken in British Columbia prompted the writer to submit a specimen to Dr. C. F. W. Muesebeck of the United States National Museum, for his opinion on the species, which from the literature seemed to be quite close to the genotype, Petalodes unicolor Wesm., of Europe.

Surgical Debulking

Cutaneous infection caused by rapidly growing mycobacteria is a relatively uncommon condition in cats, with variable response rates to surgical debulking and aggressive antibiotic therapy. To date, there have been very few case reports of this disease, especially in the United States. This study reviews a series of cases of cats with rapidly growing cutaneous mycobacterial infections from the south-eastern United States. A majority of the cats were spayed female domestic shorthairs. The median age at onset of clinical signs was 8 years. A majority of cats presented with characteristic lesions in multiple locations, and half of the cats had a known incidence of trauma preceding the development of clinical signs. Mycobacterium fortuitum was the most frequently cultured organism. Cats were treated with a variety of antibiotics for a median of 12 months, and half of them underwent surgical debulking of infected tissue. Five out of the 10 cats reached clinical resolution, while five did not. Those that did resolve required a median of 7 months of antibiotic treatment following diagnosis, and had been lesion-free for a median of 24 months at the time this study was completed. Those that did not resolve were treated for a median of 20 months following diagnosis, two of which were still being treated at the time this study was completed.
