MEMBER OF THE BRITISH ORNITHOLOGISTS' UNION JAMES W. H. TRAIL, M.A., M.D., F.R.S., F.L.S. PROFESSOR OF BOTANY IN THE UNIVERSITY OF ABERDEEN AND WILLIAM EAGLE CLARKE, F.L.S., MEM. BRIT. ORN. UNION NATURAL HISTORY DEPARTMENT, MUSEUM OF SCIENCE AND ART, EDINBURGH EDINBURGH DAVID DOUGLAS, CASTLE STREET LONDON: R. H. PORTER, 7 PRINCES ST., CAVENDISH SQUARE The Annals of Scottish Natural History No. 21] 1897 [JANUARY THE LATE PROFESSOR THOMAS KING. THOMAS KING was born on the I4th April 1834, at Yardfoot, Lochwinnoch, Renfrewshire, a farm which was owned and occupied by his father. He received his early education in a small school in the village of Glenhead. He was destined to be a teacher, and in 1855, after the sale of his birthplace, and the removal of the family to Glasgow, he entered the Normal Training College of the Free Church of Scotland. The early bent of his mind revealed itself in his attendance on the class of Botany in that Institution. In 1862 he was appointed teacher of English in the Garnet Bank Academy, where, in addition to the ordinary subjects, he taught an advanced class of Botany. The work of the session, however, proved too much for his strength, which had never been robust, and he was obliged to relinquish the position.

  • Representation of Tundra Vegetation by Pollen in Lake Sediments of Northern Alaska W
    Journal of Biogeography, 30, 521–535 Representation of tundra vegetation by pollen in lake sediments of northern Alaska W. Wyatt Oswald1,2*, Patricia M. Anderson2, Linda B. Brubaker1, Feng Sheng Hu3 and Daniel R. Engstrom41College of Forest Resources, 2Quaternary Research Center, Box 351360, University of Washington, Seattle, WA 98195, USA, 3Departments of Biology and Geology, University of Illinois, Urbana, IL, USA and 4St Croix Watershed Research Station, Science Museum of Minnesota, St Croix, MN, USA Abstract Aim To understand better the representation of arctic tundra vegetation by pollen data, we analysed pollen assemblages and pollen accumulation rates (PARs) in the surface sediments of lakes. Location Modern sediment samples were collected from seventy-eight lakes located in the Arctic Foothills and Arctic Coastal Plain regions of northern Alaska. Methods For seventy of the lakes, we analysed pollen and spores in the upper 2 cm of the sediment and calculated the relative abundance of each taxon (pollen percentages). For eleven of the lakes, we used 210Pb analysis to determine sediment accumulation rates, and analysed pollen in the upper 10–15 cm of the sediment to estimate modern PARs. Using a detailed land-cover map of northern Alaska, we assigned each study site to one of five tundra types: moist dwarf-shrub tussock-graminoid tundra (DST), moist graminoid prostrate-shrub tundra (PST) (coastal and inland types), low-shrub tundra (LST) and wet graminoid tundra (WGT). Results Mapped pollen percentages and multivariate comparison of the pollen data using discriminant analysis show that pollen assemblages vary along the main north– south vegetational and climatic gradients.

    SITE SYNOPSIS Site Name: Galtee Mountains SAC Site Code: 000646 Situated in east Limerick and south Tipperary, the Galtee Mountains are Ireland's highest range of inland mountains. Galtymore has an elevation of 920 m and the main ridge, mostly above 700 m, extends approximately 10 km from east to west. The mountains are derived from folding of Old Red Sandstone and Silurian rocks. Heath is the main vegetation type within the site, with significant amounts of humid grassland and blanket bog occurring also. There is a series of small corrie lakes on the northern side of the mountain range, and the site encompasses the headstreams of numerous tributaries of the river Suir. The cliffs above the corries support arctic- alpine vegetation and the site as a whole supports several notable Irish rarities. The site is a Special Area of Conservation (SAC) selected for the following habitats and/or species listed on Annex I / II of the E.U. Habitats Directive (* = priority; numbers in brackets are Natura 2000 codes): [4010] Wet Heath [4030] Dry Heath [4060] Alpine and Subalpine Heaths [6230] Species-rich Nardus Grassland* [7130] Blanket Bogs (Active)* [8110] Siliceous Scree [8210] Calcareous Rocky Slopes [8220] Siliceous Rocky Slopes In areas of dry heath Heather (Calluna vulgaris) dominates the vegetation, with Bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus) also common. This habitat type often grades into wet heath and alpine/subalpine heath. It is probably best developed on the steeper slopes. Additional species recorded from the areas of alpine/subalpine heath include Dwarf Willow (Salix herbacea), Heath Bedstraw (Galium saxatile), Hare’s-tail Cottongrass (Eriophorum vaginatum), Great Wood-rush (Luzula sylvatica) and Starry Saxifrage (Saxifraga stellaris), amongst others.

    WILD FLOWERS AND TREES ON ASHDOWN FOREST The Ashdown Forest Flora was published in 1996 and stands as a complete record of the status of every higher plant growing on the Forest. However, as the Flora is no longer in print, below is included a comprehensive list (excluding some of the identified hybrids and aggregates) of the higher plants found in the Forest area (roughly, the area included within the ancient pale) The status of each plant is added as an indication of its rarity: A = Abundant (most 1 km squares occupied) F = Frequent (approx. half of the squares occupied) O = Occasional (approx. one quarter of the squares occupied) S = Scattered (approx. a dozen of the squares occupied R = Rare (approx. one to three squares occupied) (Botanical names have been used to avoid the confusion of common names) Acer campestris O Acer platanoides O Acer pseudoplatanus A Achillea millefolium A Adoxa moschatellina R Aegopodium podagraria A Aesculus hippocastanum O Aethusa cynapium R Agrimonia eupatoria F Agrimonia procera R Agrostis canina A Agrostis capillaris A Agrostis gigantea F Agrostis stolonifera A Agrostis vineallis O Aira caryophyllea R Aira praecox F Ajuga reptans A Alcea rosea R Alchemilla mollis S Alisma plantago-aquatica S Alliaria petiolata F Allium paradoxum R Allium triquetrum R Allium ursinum S Alnus cordata R Alnus glutinosa A Alopecurus geniculatus S Alopecurus myosuroides R Alopecurus pratensis F Amelanchier lamarckii R Anacamptis pyramidalis R Anagallis arvensis O Anagallis minima R Anagallis tenella S Anemone nemorosa A Angelica

  • Carex Crawei Dewey Crawe’S Sedge
    New England Plant Conservation Program Carex crawei Dewey Crawe’s sedge Conservation and Research Plan for New England Prepared by: Debra A. Dunlop, Ph.D. Professor of Biology New England College Henniker, New Hampshire For: New England Wild Flower Society 180 Hemenway Road Framingham, Massachusetts 01701 USA 508/877-7630 e-mail: [email protected] • website: www.newfs.org Approved, Regional Advisory Council, May 2004 1 SUMMARY Carex crawei Dewey, Crawe's sedge (Cyperaceae) is a regionally rare taxon according to the New England Conservation Program’s Flora Conservanda: New England, and bears a global rank of G5. The species is listed as Endangered (S1) in Maine and Endangered (S1S2) in Connecticut. Since there has been a long history of misidentifications and erroneous reports of this species in New England, occurrences should be documented with a specimen and verified as accurate before they are the focus of conservation efforts. Of the five listed occurrences in Maine, only two are verified and they are both historic. The only putative extant occurrence was recently found to be misidentified, and the state of Maine may need to revise the species’ status to “SH” or “SX.” In Connecticut, seven occurrences are reported but only three have been recently verified and confirmed as extant. A fourth occurrence requires verification, as this may be the largest population in New England. The other three Connecticut occurrences are undocumented reports that need verification. In summary, there are currently three confirmed, extant occurrences in New England. Outside of New England, Carex crawei is widespread across North America, with the majority of populations occurring in open habitats on limestone or dolomite in the central United States and Canada.
