Generic Position

Footnotes in the larval revision of the North American Aegeriidae (MacKay 1968) indicate that additional material of Cissuvora ampelopsis Engelhardt and [Carmenta] phoradendri Engelhardt was received too late for incorporation in the study. The material consists of a prepupal larva associated with an adult that is posifively identified as Cissuvora ampelopsis and two last-instar larvae believed to be phoradendri, and is discussed in this paper. The study of the material indicates that the unique larva referred to in the 1968 work as “probably Cissuvora ampelopsis” is of an unidentified genus and species, and that the species phoradendri is in Synanthedon rather than in Genus I of the Carmenta group. The larva of the true ampelopsis is described and illustrated here and the characters that key the larvae of phoradendri to Synanthedon are listed.

First Time

A Small collection of fossils from the Bokkeveld Beds has recently been sent to me for identification by the South African Museum, and some of them have been generously presented to the Sedgwick Museum. Amongst this material it is interesting to find some genera not previously recorded from the Cape and some new species. The majority of the specimens are in the condition of internal casts, and hence present especial difficulties in their determination, so that in a few cases some uncertainty must remain as to the generic position of the fossils. However, I am able to record for the first time from these beds the occurrence of the well-known lamellibranchiate genus Buchiola, and of a shell which may be identified with Nyussa arguta, Hall, of the North American Devonian. The genus Buchiola occurs in argillaceous nodules from the Zwartberg Pass crowded with individuals of the species which I have named B. subpalmata and with a few examples of an undetermined species. No other associated fossils can be recognised in these nodules, but I am informed that an abundant fauna is found in the beds at this locality.

Transactional Approach

The article develops a transactional approach to studying science. Two concepts play a particularly important role: the institutional environment of science and scientific transaction. As an example, the North-American and Russian institutional environments of science are compared. It is shown that structures of scientific transactions (between peers, between the scholar and the academic administrator, between the professor and the student), transaction costs and the scope of academic freedom differ in these two cases. Transaction costs are non-zero in both cases, however. At the same time, it is hypothesized that a greater scope of academic freedom in the North American case may be a factor contributing to a higher scientific productivity.
