The wild bees of the island were studied extensively by the native George Mavro- moustakis, a world-renowned bee taxonomist, who collected extensively on the island from 1916 to 1957 and summarised his results in a series of eight Cyprus-specific papers published from 1949 [“1948”] to 1957.

Eliminating negative staff attitudes toward stopover visitors is important for hoteliers, the government, and all stakeholders of the Bahamian tourism industry.

  • Map 52 Byzantium Compiled by C
    Map 52 Byzantium Compiled by C. Foss, 1997 Introduction Map 52 Byzantium Map 53 Bosphorus Map 52 encompasses two very different regions, Thrace and Bithynia, together with the northern coast of Mysia. Thrace, now European Turkey, is open, rolling country with few prominent features. In classical times, its population was mainly tribal, and it never had any great density of settlement. It has also attracted relatively little research and remains largely unknown, not least because considerable areas have been military zones. The coast of the Propontis, however, was the home of Greek colonies whose names are already attested in the Athenian tribute lists of the fifth century B.C. It also became the site of the greatest city of the East, Constantinople, which dwarfed all the others in Late Antiquity (see below). Bithynia is entirely different. Its coastal regions, with the lakes behind them, are part of the Mediterranean zone. Throughout antiquity, the rich vegetation here supported dense settlement and continuous occupation. Behind, there is broken country with mountains that culminate in the Mysian Olympus; the eastern part is watered by the mighty R. Sangarius. Interior Bithynia was settled only in the Hellenistic period; it flourished in Roman times, when Nicomedia amd Nicaea were rival metropolitan centers. The regions of these two cities have been illuminated by the explorations and publications of Dörner and Şahin, and a broad district around Cyzicus by Hasluck. Much of the rest awaits systematic survey. Map 53 focuses on the area of transition between the extremities of these two regions, centered on the long narrow channel of the Thracian Bosphorus.

    Geologica Bavarica 94 135-177 München 1989 Feinstratigraphische Gliederung der Kirchberger Schichten (Unter-Miozän) an der Typuslokalität Illerkirchberg bei Ulm Von BElTJNA REICHENBACHER Mit 3 Abbildungen, 4 Tabellen und 3 Tafeln Kurzfassung , Im Gebiet von IIIerlcirchberg bei Ulm wurden die 15 bis 20 m mächtigen brackischen Kirchberger ~chl~ten (Ottnang-I?Karpat-Stufe) einschließlich der hangenden Oberen Süßwassermolasse hinsicht­ Iich,lhrer Lithologie und ihres Fossilinhalts untersucht. Anhand der Ergebnisse werden die Kirchberger ~~ten in 8 biostratigraphische Horizonte unterteilt. Die Horizonte werden beschrieben und mit der blshcngen Gliederung der Kirchberger Schichten nach KRANz (1904) und ScHLICKUM (1963) parallelisiert, Aufgrund des Vorkommens bestimmter Fossilien werden die ökologischen Verhältnisse während der Sedimentation der Kirchberger Schichten rekonstruiert. Für die Horizonte 2, 3 und 6 wird anband der Fisch-Gemeinschaft eine Mecresverbindung zur zentralen Paratethys während der Ottnang-Stufe nachgewiesen. Die gefundene Fischfauna belegt für die Horizonte 1 bis 6 eine stratigraphische Einstufung in die Ottnang-Stufe der Paratethys-Gliederung. Für die Horizonte 7 und 8 ist keine genaue stratigraphische Aussage möglich. Diese Horizonte könnten bereits der Karpat-Stufe oder noch der Ottnang-Stufe ange­ hören.

EXONERATING MANUEL I KOMNENOS: BYZANTINE FOREIGN POLICY (1143-1180) by DARRYL KEITH GENTRY II (Under the Direction of Vernon O Egger) ABSTRACT Manuel I of Byzantium (1143-80) has been unfairly judged as misguided, reckless, and, ultimately, as a failure. This work endeavors to refute the claims that Manuel’s imperial policy lacked any coherent strategy, and that Byzantium simply reacted to external stimuli. The most ambitious aim of this thesis is to present a cogent analysis of Manuel’s imperial policy to demonstrate the emperor’s efficacy and strategic flexibility. The perception, generally accepted by historians, that Manuel left his empire exhausted and vulnerable to outside aggression is also seriously challenged. Regardless of Manuel’s defeat at Myriokephalon in 1176, he could claim that the empire was stronger than it had been in over a century.
