AbstractEvidence from aerial photographs, maps, and field checks indicates that 319 glaciers lie in cirques of the Rocky Mountains, south of the United States-Canadian border. On a subcontinental scale, the distribution of glaciers is highly clustered, with larger and denser clusters located in the northern Rocky Mountains. Lesser concentrations of small glaciers occur in the southern Rocky Mountains. The total area of glaciers in the Rocky Mountains of the U.S.A. is 78.9 km2.

Eleven Species

AbstractAll Cardiophorus species found in Canada and the United States of America east of the Rocky Mountains are keyed and all but those with the majority of their ranges west of the Rocky Mountains are revised. Eleven species are recognized, three of which are new to science (C. catskillensissp. nov., C. destinensissp. nov., and C. panamapolissp. nov.). Cardiophorus floridae Candèze and C. angustatus Blanchard are synonymized under C. convexus (Say). All 11 are described and taxonomically important characters are presented. Distribution maps are presented for each species. The following lectotypes are designated for species that were described from more than one specimen without former holotype designation: C. angustatus, C. floridae, C. erythropus Erichson, C. gagates Erichson, C. togatus Horn, C. robustus LeConte, C. convexulus LeConte, and C. amictus Melsheimer. The following neotypes were designated to replace destroyed type specimens: C. cardisce (Say) and C. convexus.

High Pollution

The weather over the eastern two-thirds of the United States was monitored, and air pollution potential forecasts were made and disseminated to affected cities. The experiment allowed for air sampling under a variety of synoptic patterns, and the results strengthen the validity of the previously developed criteria as indicators of prolonged periods of two or more days of high air pollution. Other considerations are indicated for the prediction of isolated days (not prolonged periods) of high pollution.

Considerable Detail

In the July number of the Journal is given the decision of the Court of Claims in Sanches v. The United States and of the Supreme Court in O’Reilly v. Brooke. Both cases involve the validity of the orders of military governors in former Spanish territory abolishing offices for which a price had been paid and which the holder claimed were private property and thus under the protection of the law of nations and the treaty of peace with Spain. In the Sanches case the office abolished was that of “ numbered procurador of the courts of first instance of the capital of Porto Rico;” in the O’Reilly case the office was that of high sheriff of Havana. In each case the opinion was expressed that the office had ceased with the extinction of Spanish sovereignty, but in the Supreme Court case this was not necessary to the decision, as General Brooke’s liability had already been denied on other grounds, while the opinion on this point was delivered without argument of counsel, without exposition, and without the citation of authority other than that of the Secretary of War in approving General Brooke’s order. It is the opinion of the writer that the holders of those offices were entitled to indemnification. The facts of the O’Reilly controversy will be gone into in considerable detail.

Lesion Nematodes

The root-lesion nematode, Pratylenchus penetrans (de Man, 1880) Filipjev, 1936, is a common pathogen of potato in the United States east of the Rocky Mountains and frequently interacts with Verticillium dahliae to aggravate early dying disease (4). West of the Rocky Mountains, P. penetrans is associated with numerous crops including mint, tree, and small fruits but is rarely recovered from potato fields. Pratylenchus neglectus is a common plant-parasitic nematode on potato in the west, but causes little loss in yield and does not usually interact with V. dahliae (1). Management of P. neglectus is generally unnecessary; although a population of P. neglectus from Ontario, Canada appears to be more pathogenic and does interact with V. dahliae (1). During May 2003 (6 weeks after planting), large areas of stunted plants were observed in field inspections and in aerial photographs of two fields (50.6 ha) of cv. Ranger Russet in Benton County, Washington. Lower roots and stolons had numerous, dark lesions that are typical of P. penetrans damage and were severely stunted, while long, white roots had formed abnormally near the soil surface. In early May 2003, lesion nematodes (65 nematodes per 250 g of dry soil and 810 nematodes per g of fresh root weight) recovered from these potato fields were identified as P. penetrans on the basis of morphological characters (2,3). The crop responded to oxamyl (four applications at 1.1 kg of a.i. per ha between early May and mid-July), but the grower estimated that yields were 1.62 tons/ha (4 tons/acre) less than in comparable unaffected fields. To our knoweldge, this is the first report of severe damage to potato from P. penetrans in the Colombia Basin potato-production area. Soil fumigation with Telone II (1,3-dichloropropene) is commonly used in the Columbia Basin to control root-knot (Meloidogyne chitwoodi and M. hapla) and stubby-root (Paratrichodorus allius) nematodes, and metam sodium is used to control V. dahliae. However, since the only nematode recovered from preplant samples was assumed to be P. neglectus, and because cv. Ranger Russet is relatively tolerant to V. dahliae, no fumigant was used in these fields. An increase in mint production in this area may be responsible for introducing P. penetrans into previously uninfested fields since mint is propagated vegetatively and lesion nematodes are commonly associated with mint and could be easily spread in planting material and adhering soil. Identification of P. penetrans in stunted corn from two nearby fields during 2004 suggests that this nematode may be a new and emerging problem in this area. The Columbia Basin is one of the largest potato-producing regions in the United States, and widespread introduction of P. penetrans could add substantial cost to potato production in this area.
