  • 1 It's All Geek to Me: Translating Names Of
    IT’S ALL GEEK TO ME: TRANSLATING NAMES OF INSECTARIUM ARTHROPODS Prof. J. Phineas Michaelson, O.M.P. U.S. Biological and Geological Survey of the Territories Central Post Office, Denver City, Colorado Territory [or Year 2016 c/o Kallima Consultants, Inc., PO Box 33084, Northglenn, CO 80233-0084] ABSTRACT Kids today! Why don’t they know the basics of Greek and Latin? Either they don’t pay attention in class, or in many cases schools just don’t teach these classic languages of science anymore. For those who are Latin and Greek-challenged, noted (fictional) Victorian entomologist and explorer, Prof. J. Phineas Michaelson, will present English translations of the scientific names that have been given to some of the popular common arthropods available for public exhibits. This paper will explore how species get their names, as well as a brief look at some of the naturalists that named them. INTRODUCTION Our education system just isn’t what it used to be. Classic languages such as Latin and Greek are no longer a part of standard curriculum. Unfortunately, this puts modern students of science at somewhat of a disadvantage compared to our predecessors when it comes to scientific names. In the insectarium world, Latin and Greek names are used for the arthropods that we display, but for most young entomologists, these words are just a challenge to pronounce and lack meaning. Working with arthropods, we all know that Entomology is the study of these animals. Sounding similar but totally different, Etymology is the study of the origin of words, and the history of word meaning.

    MEMOIR JOHN LAWRENCE LECONTE. 1825-1883. SAMUEL H. SCUDDER. HEAD HEFORK THE NATIONAL ACADEMY, APRIL 17, 1884. 261 BIOGRAPHICAL MEMOIR OF JOHN LAWRENCE LECONTE. The revocation of the edict of Nantes, with its attendant persecu- tions and other horrors, was incidentally of advantage to science; for of the tens of thousands who expatriated themselves from a community given over to tyranny and fanaticism, not a few carried with them and transmitted to their offspring, born in the land of refuge, a spirit of scientific investigation, which was doubtless quick- ened by the intense life of the time; and in after years, when the hereditary trait again appeared, it may often have found its healthy growth re-enforced by the admixture of the new element afforded by residence in a foreign country. At all events other countries owe much of their scientific fame to the men of Huguenot ancestry, who fled from the intolerance of Louis XIV, and whose influence outside of France would but for this have certainly been lessened for lack of direct contact; for among the Huguenots, or their de- scendants, as has frequently been pointed out, was an unusual pro- portion of men devoted to science, literature, and the arts. Thus, to mention but a few names, Switzerland owes to this movement her DeCandolles, and Saussures, with Plantamour and a host of lesser lights; Germany and Holland, Charpentier and Lyonet; and our own country, Bowdoin, of Cambridge, an early president of the American Academy; John Jay, of New York, and the LeContes, living and dead. The name of LeConte, or LeComte, as it was indifferently spelled, was a frequent one in France in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, and particularly in Normandy.

He was born in Boston, Massachusetts, on January 29, 1852. Descendant of an old Boston family, he was a son of Joseph Lyman and Jane Paine Henshaw. He was educated at the Chauncy Hall School and the Boston Latin School. He married Miss Annie Stanwood on April 28, 1886 (died March 12, 1900). In early youth he had become interested in the study of natural history, particularly in entomology, and these interests continued throughout his life. He was actively identified with the Boston Society of Natural History from the beginningof his membershipin 1871 down to 1901. During this period he servedas a general assistantunder the leader- ship of ProfessorAlpheus Hyatt from 1876 to 1891, inclusive, and as Secretary and Librarian from 1892 to 1901, inclusive. His duties during those years included considerablegeneral work on various groups of vertebrates and invertebrates, as well as much that was strictly entomological in character; also preparation of ma- terial regularly for use of ProfessorHyatt, who was at that time scienceinstructor in Lowell Institute. His library experience enabled him in time to attain a wide knowledge of scientific literature, and in later years to make outstanding biblio- graphical contributionsin entomology. His work with the Museum of Comparative Zo61ogy at Harvard, succeedingthat of Dr. H. A. Hagen, covered the years 1891 to 1927, inclusive. Beginningwith part-time assignmentsin entomologyfrom 1891 to 1898, inclusive, he was Assistant in Entomology and Librarian from 1898 to 1903, inclusive.

Strazds, J. Baumanis, K. Funts Ievads Svešzemju putnu nosaukumu tulkošana Latvijā sākās jau ar pirmo publicēto grāmatu – E. Glika tulkoto Bībeli, jo jau tajā ir minēti vairāki svešzemju putni, piemēram, strauss ( Bībele. Latviešu val. 1689). Pēc tam dažādas Latvijā nesastopamas sugas ir minētas vairākās latviešu valodas vārdnīcās (Lange 1773; Stender 1789; u.c.), un daži no šiem nosaukumiem jau ir stabili iegājušies valodas praksē. Vajadzība pēc pilnīga putnu nosaukumu saraksta latviski ir palielinājusies pēdējā laikā, kad bija nepieciešams latviskot dažādu Latvijai saistošu konvenciju pielikumu tekstus, latviski tulko nopietnas enciklopēdijas (par putniem), tiek tulkotas dažādu zemju dokumentālās &lmas vai, vienkārši, daudzi cilvēki apceļo pasauli un grib citiem pastāstīt arī par eksotiskās zemēs redzētiem putniem. Arī tulkotajā daiļliteratūrā brīžiem pavīd kādi putni, kuru nosaukumi tiek latviskoti.

    Magnolia grandiflora The Laurel Tree of Carolina Publication of the Southern Garden Catesby’s NaturalM History, 1743 agnoliaHistory Society Vol. XXVI I No. 1 Winter 2014 Louis LeConte’s Bulb Garden, 1813-1838 By Sara Van Beck, Atlanta, Georgia The founding of America’s early institutional botanic gardens coincided with America’s westward expansion, as important political figures sought to establish American bona fides in scientific and cultural fields. While ostensibly to provide a means to classify and document America’s native flora, botanic gardens often included exotics for medicinal and ornamental purposes. In addition, this period was a brief heyday for Narcissus and bulbs in general, prior to nineteenth-century horticultural fashions taking hold. Notable botanic gardens founded or legislated between 1800 and 1820 include the Botanic(k) Garden at Cambridge, Massachusetts (1805/1807), the Elgin Botanic Garden (New York City, 1801), the Botanick Garden of South Carolina (Charleston, 1805), the University of Pennsylvania (1807), and the Botanic Garden of the Columbian Institute (Washington, D.C., 1820). Amateur botanists, often physicians, similarly created botanic gardens at their homes, their collections reflecting their personal interests. These individuals supplied new plant specimens to botanical journals, assisted other famous plant collectors, and provided regional insights. In Georgia, one such person was Dr. Thomas Jarram Wray Ohio. Granville, McFarland, courtesyPhoto of Drew Single Jonquil, Narcissus jonquilla. of Augusta, whose botanic garden was filled with native herbaceous plants, bulbs, and succulents. Another was Louis LeConte in coastal Georgia, with a botanic garden full of bulbs. Inside this Issue Louis LeConte (1782-1838) grew up in New Jersey Pg.
