At Wooster, Ohio, this species was observed in the fieds on May 26, and at Alliance, nearly due east, on October 24, while at Bridgeport, in the extreme eastern central part of the State, it was found, active, on November 4, all during 1898. It appears to have been more numerous of late in the vicinity of the south shore of Lake Erie than elsewhere in the northern portion of the State, and more abundant than I have formerly observed it in the same latitude in Indiana and Illinois.

Much of Lake Erie' s southern shoreline displays fairly uniform properties with respect to shore processes. However, detailed studies of selected stripe of shore areas often reveal characteristics which are so distinctive that problems of control require special attention to local characteristics. The purpose of this paper is to present some generalizations and some detailed comments on the motion of sediment along the south shore of Lake Erie, to outline the results of some detailed studies of small areas, and to evaluate the types of evidence used in such studies.

The final advance of the Erie lobe into Ohio during the Port Bruce Stade of the Late Wisconsinan deposited the Ashtabula Till. Wave erosion and mass wasting along the south shore of Lake Erie show that the Ashtabula Till consists of laterally traceable lithofacies, which are used to determine the depositional history of the Ashtabula Till. At each section, lithofacies sequences are divided into two sub-sequences, each consisting of massive, matrix-supported diamicton (Dmm) overlain by stratified, matrix-supported diamicton (Dms). Some Dmm are sheared (Dmm(s)) and are interpreted as lodgement till, whereas other Dmm and Dms were deposited as melt-out till. Some sections contain lenses of fines (Fm and Fl), current-reworked diamictons (Dmm(c) and Dms(c)), and resedimented diamictons (Dmm(r) and Dms(r)). The two sub-sequences represent two advances of Ashtabula ice that deposited the Euclid and Painesville moraines about a kilometre apart. During and after recession of the Ashtabula ice, waves and currents in Lake Maumee and its successors reworked outwash and diamictons to form the lake plain. The texture of Dmm(s) is significantly different from that of most other diamictons, and Dmm has the smallest carbonate content of all diamictons. Analysis of the variations in texture and composition among lithofacies provides additional evidence of the effectiveness of lithofacies logging in interpretation of glacial processes.

Abstract Quesnelia is a genus of the subfamily Bromelioideae (Bromeliaceae) with 20 species endemic to Brazil occurring from the south portion of the state of Bahia to the northern portion of the state of Santa Catarina. Quesnelia is subdivided into two subgenera: Quesnelia subg. Quesnelia and Quesnelia subg. Billbergiopsis. The purpose of this work was to conduct a taxonomic study of Quesnelia species from Paraná state (southern Brazil) along with morphological and taxonomic analysis of in vivo material and specimens in herbaria collections. Three taxa were found: Quesnelia humilis, Q. Imbricata and Q. testudo. This work presents identification keys, morphological descriptions, geographical distribution, comments, illustrations and the conservation status of the studied taxa.

The flow directions of ice lobes within the Erie basin may be deduced from heavy-mineral assemblages of the Hayesville, Hiram, and Ashtabula tills deposited during the Port Bruce Stade after the Erie Interstade. These tills have heavy-mineral assemblages dominated by purple garnet, green hornblende, and clinopyroxene. Oolitic hematite occurs in all tills, but is dominant in the Ashtabula Till. The probable source of hematite is the Furnaceville Ironstone Member of the Clinton Group which crops out south of Lake Ontario. Trilinear plots of purple garnet – red garnet – epidote suggest that the eastern Grenville Subprovince is the provenance of all three tills. Southwestward-flowing ice of an Ontario–Erie lobe deposited these tills in the Erie basin. The Huron–Erie lobe did not deposit tills along the south shore of Lake Erie after the Erie Interstade.

Recently, while studying the habits of this beetle in the peach orchards of Catawba Island, on the south shore of Lake Erie, I was surprised to observe that the fall attack had invariably been made on the east or southeast side—which is here the land side of the trees—and old trees, where the bark of the trunks was very rough, were more seriously affected. On mentioning the fact of this apparent discrimination in point of attack to my friend Dr. D. S. Kellicott, he recalled that the same phenomenon occured about Buffalo, New York.

In het tweede deel van zijn bijdrage 1830: van de Belgische protonatie naar de natiestaat, over de gebeurtenissen van 1830-1831 als slotfase van een passage van de Belgische protonatie doorheen de grote politiek-maatschappelijke en culturele mutaties na de Franse Revolutie, ontwikkelt Lode Wils de stelling dat de periode 1829-1830 de "terminale crisis" vormde van het Koninkrijk der Verenigde Nederlanden. Terwijl koning Willem I definitief had laten verstaan dat hij de ministeriële verantwoordelijkheid definitief afwees en elke kritiek op het regime beschouwde als kritiek op de dynastie, groeide in het Zuiden de synergie in het verzet tussen klerikalen, liberalen en radicale anti-autoritaire groepen. In de vervreemding tussen het Noorden en het Zuiden en de uiteindelijke revolutionaire nationaal-liberale oppositie vanuit het Zuiden, speelde de taalproblematiek een minder belangrijke rol dan het klerikale element en de liberale aversie tegen het vorstelijk absolutisme van Willem I en de aangevoelde uitsluiting van de Belgen uit het openbaar ambt en vooral uit de leiding van de staat.________1830: from the Belgian pre-nation to the nation stateIn the second part of his contribution 1830: from the Belgian pre-nation to the nation state, dealing with the events from 1830-1831 as the concluding phase of a transition of the Belgian pre-nation through the major socio-political and cultural mutations after the French Revolution, Lode Wils develops the thesis that the period of 1829-1830 constituted the "terminal crisis" of the Kingdom of the United Netherlands. Whilst King William I had clearly given to understand that he definitively rejected ministerial responsibility and that he considered any criticism of the regime as a criticism of the dynasty, the synergy of resistance increased between the clericalists, liberals and radical anti-authoritarian groups in the South. In the alienation between the North and the South and the ultimate revolutionary national-liberal opposition from the South the language issue played a less important role than the clericalist element and the liberal aversion against the royal absolutism of William I and the sense of exclusion of the Belgians from public office and particularly from the government of the state.

Over the past 30 years in Western Australia (WA), there has been heated debate about the future use of the remaining karri and jarrah forests in the south-west of the State. This debate revolves around policy proposals from two social movements: one wants to preserve as much of the remaining old-growth forests as possible, and an opposing movement supports a continued
