All referrals during the year 1977 to the only child psychiatric facility in the Province of Newfoundland and Labrador were investigated on a number of variables. Two hundred and two children were referred. This was considered a very low rate of referrals. Distance of the child's residence beyond the range of 50 kilometres from the unit was negatively associated to referrals. Lack of parental employment was not associated with increased rate of referrals. Children from the outlying regions of the Province were unlikely to come from broken families. Academic failure was common among those referred. Few differences were observed in the clinical diagnoses between those referred from the Avalon Peninsula and the regions lying further away. As compared to another Canadian province, Ontario, (Ottawa-Carleton region) (2), fewer aggressive children were referred in Newfoundland. Some implications of these findings for the practice of child psychiatry in the Province were discussed.

Samples were obtained in the littoral region of six small waters in the eastern portion of the Avalon Peninsula, Newfoundland. The Cladocera encountered in the collections are listed. Of the 13 species and varieties that were identified, 10 are new for the island of Newfoundland, 8 are new for the Province of Newfoundland and Labrador, and 5 are new for Canada. Acroperus alonoides Hudendorff and Graptoleberis testudinaria occidentalis Sars have not previously been identified from North America.

Subsurface tile drainage installation helps to maintain water table levels and to meet adequate crop moisture requirements. Artificial subsurface drainage continues to be a common practice in Newfoundland and Labrador (NL) and elsewhere around the world. The main objective of this study was to evaluate the performance of DRAINMOD in simulating water table depth (WTD) and water outflow from tile drained agricultural fields. This site on the Avalon Peninsula of Eastern Newfoundland has a rolling landscape with predominantly Podzolic soils. The tile drainage was installed at 1.0 m deep and spaced 12 m apart. Drainage outflows (two per plot) from twelve experimental plots (32 m x 60 m each) were monitored for two years. The simulated WTD ranged from 140 cm to 160 cm during rainfall season. The performance of the model was evaluated by the Index of agreement (IOA). It was 0.600 in 2017 and 0.559 in 2018. The result was considered to have acceptable accuracy, which can help to design or evaluate subsurface drainage systems in NL, Canada. However, further evaluation including additional sites are necessary to ensure optimum drainage design parameters for the major agricultural soils.
