  • A Review of Southern Iraq Herpetofauna
    Vol. 3 (1): 61-71, 2019 A Review of Southern Iraq Herpetofauna Nadir A. Salman Mazaya University College, Dhi Qar, Iraq *Corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract: The present review discussed the species diversity of herpetofauna in southern Iraq due to their scientific and national interests. The review includes a historical record for the herpetofaunal studies in Iraq since the earlier investigations of the 1920s and 1950s along with the more recent taxonomic trials in the following years. It appeared that, little is known about Iraqi herpetofauna, and no comprehensive checklist has been done for these species. So far, 96 species of reptiles and amphibians have been recorded from Iraq, but only a relatively small proportion of them occur in the southern marshes. The marshes act as key habitat for globally endangered species and as a potential for as yet unexplored amphibian and reptile diversity. Despite the lack of precise localities, the tree frog Hyla savignyi, the marsh frog Pelophylax ridibunda and the green toad Bufo viridis are found in the marshes. Common reptiles in the marshes include the Caspian terrapin (Clemmys caspia), the soft-shell turtle (Trionyx euphraticus), the Euphrates softshell turtle (Rafetus euphraticus), geckos of the genus Hemidactylus, two species of skinks (Trachylepis aurata and Mabuya vittata) and a variety of snakes of the genus Coluber, the spotted sand boa (Eryx jaculus), tessellated water snake (Natrix tessellata) and Gray's desert racer (Coluber ventromaculatus). More recently, a new record for the keeled gecko, Cyrtopodion scabrum and the saw-scaled viper (Echis carinatus sochureki) was reported. The IUCN Red List includes six terrestrial and six aquatic amphibian species.

Since the work of J.J. Heckel (1846-1849), the number of valid species has increased significantly and the systematic status of many of the species has changed, and reorganization and updating of the published information has become essential. Here we take the opportunity to provide a new and updated checklist of freshwater fishes of Iran based on literature and taxon occurrence data obtained from natural history and new fish collections. This article lists 288 species in 107 genera, 28 families, 22 orders and 3 classes reported from different Iranian basins. However, presence of 23 reported species in Iranian waters needs confirmation by specimens.

  • 505 the Lost Language of Ancient
    MEDICINA NEI SECOLI ARTE E SCIENZA, 30/2 (2018) 505-530 Journal of History of Medicine Articoli/Articles THE LOST LANGUAGE OF ANCIENT BABYLONIAN PLANTS: FROM MYTH TO MEDICINE BARBARA BÖCK Instituto de Lenguas y Culturas del Mediterráneo y Oriente Próximo Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (CSIC), Madrid, ES SUMMARY The Sumerian myth of Enki and Ninḫursaga, which conveys Enki’s metaphorical nature as power behind the irrigation of the Mesopotamian marshlands, contains a passage that brings together plants, pains and deities. The raison d’être for the choice of these eight plants has so far escaped scholars. In analysing the evidence for the plants according to cuneiform literary and medical sources the present contribution offers a discussion of their nature and possible connection with the god Enki providing thus an explanation for their choice and shedding light on the storyteller’s motivation for including the episode on plants in the myth. Although Ancient Babylonians did not produce mythological nar- rations or other literary traditions about plants comparable to the Classical world, references to the plant kingdom indeed entered the cuneiform belles-lettres. A rather bizarre passage that brings togeth- er plants, pains and deities and which will be discussed in the present contribution is included in the Sumerian myth about the god of wis- dom and sweet waters, Enki, and Ninhursag, a mother goddess. The narration is also known as “Sumerian Epic of Paradise” as coined by its first editor Stephen Langdon in 19151. The Sumerologist S.N. Kramer observed that it “is one of the more interesting, intricate, Key words: Enki and Ninḫursaga - Enki and Fishes - Aquatic Plants - Medicine and Myth 505 Barbara Böck and imaginative myths in the Sumerian repertoire, but also one of the most enigmatic and frustrating”2.

This research obtained values of serum electrolytes and hematological pa- rameters in crucian carp ( n = 15) and common carp ( n = 13). Significantly different values of K +, Cl – and Ca 2+ con- centration were detected. In serum of common carp there were significantly higher concentration of K + and Cl – and lower concentration of Ca 2+ , compared to the crucian carp. Hematological parameters differ in these two species. In blood of common carp significantly lower PCV, hemoglobin concentration, RBC and MCV and notably higher MCHC and WBC were obtained, compared to crucian carp. This preliminary research is important in establishing referential range of biochemical and hematological parameters in cyprinid fishes.

  • ORIGINAL ARTICLES an Etymological Review on Fish Common
    412 Research Journal of Fisheries and Hydrobiology, 6(4): 412-423, 2011 ISSN 1816-9112 ORIGINAL ARTICLES An etymological review on fish common and scientific names in the Euphrates and Tigris 1Peyman Mikaili, 2Jalal Shayegh 1Department of Pharmacology, Faculty of Medicine, Urmia University of Medical Sciences, Urmia, Iran. 2Department of Veterinary Medicine, Faculty of Agriculture and Veterinary, Shabestar branch, Islamic Azad University, Shabestar, Iran. ABSTRACT As the Mesopotamia has a long history of fishery, the etymological analysis of currently used fish names may have interesting motifs for other scientific fields. Because of some recent political factors, fewer studies have been conducted on the aquatic fauna in Iraq. Additionally, native and local studies will be not recognized and understood without having a clear knowledge about the local fish names. As some of these words have been deformed and almost of them are far variants from the standard or original forms, we have use etymology for elucidating the Arabic names. Of all species presented in the available sources, 46 species were selected for this study. All names, including scientific (Greek and Latin) and common Arabic names in Iraqi dialects were etymologically analyzed. For etymology of Arabic words, we had not, in fact, any real pattern for the methodology of Arabic words. Thus, we may consider this article, one of the first works deals with this field of international scientific terminology. We have proposed a so-called methodology for Arabic etymology, and then we have presented the suggestions for word etymologies. Key words: Etymology, scientific names, common names, Iraq, Persian Gulf, ichthyology Introduction The Mesopotamia may be considered as one of the first fishery regions in the ancient history of human being.

Reporting on the two previous collections received by the Zoological Survey of India in the years 1941 and 1943 from Mr. Dimitry D. Belayew, Specialist in Fisheries, Directorate General of Agriculture, Baghdad, these authors recorded 13 and 19 species respectively, of which 2 were new. During the years 1950, 1953 and 1954 three lots of fishes were receiver by the Zoological Survey of India from the Directorate General of Agri­ culture, Baghdad, for determination. These were accompanied by pkotographs of 30 species and a list of the Arabic names of most of them. These fishes, collected from the Persian Gulf and from the Hors and Rivers Shatt-al-Arab, the Tigris and the Euphrates, are reported in the present paper. I am grateful to Dr. M. L.

Key paragraphs of Operational Guidelines: Paragraph 77: Nominated property has the potential to meet World Heritage criteria. Paragraph 78: Nominated property does not meet integrity or protection and management requirements. Background note: This nomination file was submitted in 2014 for evaluation at the 39th Session of the World Heritage Committee; however, due to logistical and security matters, the State party requested to postpone the evaluation until 2015, for discussion at the 40th Session of the World Heritage Committee. The evaluation mission was undertaken in 2015, although logistical considerations prevented this being organized as a joint mission. IUCN and ICOMOS have met jointly with the State Party in face-to-face and skype meetings on at least 7 occasions to discuss the nomination during the evaluation process to date. In addition IUCN provided upstream advice on this nomination in a documented process that is referred to in the references below. 1.
