The sub-family Anthracina differs from any other of the Bombylidæ, as well as from any other group of Diptera known to me, in that the second vein issues from the third at a point opposite or nearly opposite the small cross-vein, the distance being never greater than the length of that cross-vein; the course of the third vein at the place where the second vein issues from it, is perfectly straight, while in the other Diptera the third vein bends obliquely downward at the same angle that the second vein extends upward at its base.

Three tectonostratigraphic successions are established from remapping of the area near Barkerville and Cariboo River. The first, of Late Proterozoic to Cambrian sediments, was deposited on the shallow to moderately deep platformal shelf west of and derived from the exposed North American craton. The second is an unconformably overlying Ordovician to Permian sequence of sedimentary and volcanic rocks representing a basinal environment with periodic highs. These packages of sediments were deposited on the North American craton and its western transitional extensions. The third succession, composed of oceanic chert and basalt of the Permo-Pennsylvanian Antler Formation, was thrust eastward over the other two during the early Mesozoic. The three successions were folded, faulted, and metamorphosed during the mid-Mesozoic Columbian Orogeny. The Devono-Mississippian Cariboo Orogeny, which was thought to have affected all of the first sequence and part of the second, could not be documented in its type locality. The geology of the Barkerville – Cariboo River area has many similarities with that of Selwyn Basin and Cassiar platform of northern British Columbia and Yukon.

AbstractGroup VI of North American Ips contains I. perturbatus (Eichhoff), I. hunteri Swaine, I. utahensis Wood and I. woodi Thatcher. A key and descriptions of species are given. Members of this group have the third declivital spine capitate with the tip conical and acute. The front of the head is evenly convex except in females of I. utahensis which have the lower part of the frons faintly elevated. I. woodi breeds in pine while the other three species breed in spruce.

Much of linguistic typology is inherently categorical. In large-scale typological surveys, grammatical constructions, distinctions, and even variables are typically classified as present, absent, or embodying one of a set of specified options. This work is valuable for a multitude of purposes, and in many cases such categorization is sufficient. In others, we can advance our understanding further if we take a more nuanced approach, considering the extent to which a particular construction, distinction, or variable is installed in the grammar. An important tool for this approach is the examination of unscripted speech in context, complete with prosody. This point is illustrated here with Mohawk, an Iroquoian language indigenous to the North American Northeast. As will be seen, the two types of construction which might be identified as relative clauses are emergent, one less integrated into the grammar than the other. Examination of spontaneous speech indicates that the earliest stages of development are prosodic, as speakers shape their messages according to their communicative purposes at each moment.

The author seeks to contribute to the field of frontier studies with bioarchaeological data, in the hopes of understanding how living in relative proximity, but under different sociopolitical organizations, may affect health. The goal of this research is to examine differences in overall health between two groups that have been characterized in the literature as “Romans” and “barbarians.” The research uses skeletal remains to address how the daily life of people under Roman-Byzantine control compared to that of their neighbors, the “barbarians” to the north. Comparing two contemporaneous populations from the territory of modern Romania—and dating from the third to the sixth centuries CE—the study examines health status and traumatic injuries. One collection comes from the territory under Roman-Byzantine control, the site of Ibida (Slava Rusă) from the Roman province of Scythia Minor, and the other originates from the Târgşor site, located to the north of the Danube frontier, in what was considered the “barbaricum.” Separated by a definite frontier, the Danube River, meant to (at least ideologically) segregate them to their divided worlds, these populations might have been more interconnected than the carefully promulgated imperial doctrine would have us believe.

The chapter has three parts. The first part is an introduction to the Mainland Scandinavian languages, with a brief sketch of their history, their relationship to the other Scandinavian languages, and their position among the North Germanic languages. Mainland Scandinavian is treated as one language, since it consists of a continuum of mutually intelligible dialects across Scandinavia. The second part is a presentation of the sources and the origin of the examples used in the book. They are taken from various sources, reference grammars, research literature, the internet, text corpora, and original research. The third part is a presentation of the theoretical background and the descriptive framework, which is generative grammar in its current version, known as ‘minimalism’.

The problem in judging M. Servan-Schreiber's message is that he reaches some sound conclusions on the basis of dubious premises, from which he derives recommendations which could be disastrous.There may be some satisfaction in seeing a Frenchman concerned with le défi, russe instead of le défi américain, but his interpretation of one is as crude as was his interpretation of the other. The shock of revelation that there are common interests of the Atlantic countries in economic as well as strategic matters is understandably more startling to a Frenchman than to others. It was all set out in 1949 in Article 2 of the North Atlantic Treaty and was restated eloquently in 1973 by Mr. Kissinger. But last spring European leaders were included to see the latter as a self-interested plea from a weak United States to a prosperous Europe. The North American countries were reminded that their role in Europe was simply to defend it on request.
