Climactichnites Logan, 1860, is known only from its large trail up to 20 cm in width, a trace superficially resembling a rope ladder. Prominent lateral ridges are parallel throughout the length of the trail; they may be smooth and hemispherical in cross-section or crenulated, much like a pie crust. Between these ridges is a series of raised dune-like bars and furrows dug into the substrate. The bars and furrows show considerable individual variation between trails and also variation along a trail. Ovoid impressions are known which occur at the start of trails. The posterior of these impressions is well rounded; the anterior is triangular, and for a short distance from the impression, the trail is developed on only one side. One exceptionally preserved impression shows curved, closely spaced, fine lines parallel to the posterior.The trails are found only in sandstone, and where they are present, they are abundant. Slightly equivocable evidence indicates a Dresbachian (early Late Cambrian) age for the occurrences in New York, Missouri, and Wisconsin; trails in Ontario and Quebec are less certainly dated. Desiccation cracks and air escape hole suggest that the trail was fully exposed to the atmosphere.From this data, a large number of sketches were made to reconstruct an animal able to make such a trail. Each attempt produced new speculation on the morphology. In the final rendition, the animal is bilaterally symmetrical, broad and low. The integument is tough, and the sole bears a subcentral mouth anteriorward. Lateral flaps scraped and compressed damp sand to make the parallel ridges. The anterior was strongly musculated and thin. This anterior flap grasped the sediment, alternating on either side of the animal to pull the form forward when the lateral flaps were relaxed. Curved rows of cilia on the posterior moved loose sand into dunes between the furrows formed by the anterior flaps.This reconstruction is like that of no other animal known in the Vendian or the Phanerozoic.

New Yorkers

From 1847 to 1853 New Yorkers built more than 3,500 miles of wooden roads. Financed primarily by residents of declining rural townships, plank roads were seen as a means of linking isolated areas to the canal and railroad network. A broad range of individuals invested in the roads, suggesting that the drive for bigger markets was supported by a large cross section of the population. Considerable community spirit animated the movement, indicating that New Yorkers used the social capital of the community to reach their entrepreneurial aspirations.

This study investigates the effects of the presence or absence of the father in the home in two samples of New York City families: a sample of 1000 Welfare AFDC families and a subsample of lower-middle income families from a random cross-section sample. The effects of natural fathers, surrogate fathers and absent fathers were examined for mothers and their children, respectively. The variables included measures derived from mothers' home interviews: 18 child behavior factors and 13 familial factors. The results indicate that children of surrogate fathers revealed significantly more behavioral difficulties than those reported for children living with natural fathers and for children with no father in the home. The effect of father absence as well as the effect of the presence of a father surrogate in the home were found to differ within the two samples studied. While children in both samples were found to benefit from the presence of both natural parents in the home, cross-section children and mothers were more adversely affected by father absence than Welfare children. Implications of these findings are discussed with reference to the role of the poor family in sustaining intergenerational patterns of economic inequality.

Specific Drag

In this paper, the problem of optimum cross-section profile in axisymmetric Stokes flow has been discussed under the restriction of specific drag. We take up a class of bodies to be of given maximum cross section with fore and aft symmetry about this section. The possible shape under the stationary value drag has been obtained by making use of method of extremals (Fox, C., 1950, An Introduction to the Calculus of Variations, Oxford University Press, Oxford; Elsgolc, L. E., 1962, Calculus of Variations, Pergamon, New York; Sagan, H., 1969, Introduction to the Calculus of Variations, McGraw-Hill, New York). It has been found that body profile possesses conical front and rear ends. The value of the cross-sectional area has also been calculated for the profile and compared with some known values.

Section Sample

This paper examines the intrastate distribution of revenue-sharing funds using a cross-section sample of New York communities. The concept of needs is discussed, and a measure of local public expenditure needs is derived from aggregate consumption function theory. This measure of local public expenditure needs is used along with a measure of local fiscal capacity in examining the distribution of revenue-sharing funds. Revenue-sharing funds are found to be positively correlated with estimated expenditure needs but negatively correlated with the “gaps” between expenditure needs and local fiscal resources. It is suggested that the reason for these results is that the revenue-sharing allocation formula does not include an adequate measure of local fiscal capacity.
