SCOTTISH FOREIGN TRADE TOWARDS THE END OF THE PRE- INDUSTRIALPERIOD, 1700-1760 Philipp Robinson Roessner MA FSA Scot PhD The University of Edinburgh 2007 312 PART II: SCOTTISH-GERMAN TRADE, 1700-1770: A CASESTUDY 7.1 Embeddedness of Early Modern Scottish-GermanTrade 313 7 Scottish Trade with Germany, 1700-1770: The Macro-Picture 7.1 The Embeddedness of Early Modern Scottish-German Trade So far the structure, trends and fluctuations in the Scottish trade volume between 1700 and 1760, the last decades of Scotland's pre-industrial period, have been discussed. It could be shown that after 1730, trade levels began to expand significantly, probably matching or surpassing all growth rates realized during previous decades, if not centuries. Scotland underwent her own "commercial revolution", yet on terms decidedly different from England. Overseas trade levels tripled between 1700 and 1760. But trade levels remained small, both in comparison to England, as well as in relation to Scotland's national income. Trade was furthermore biased towards the importation and re-exportation of colonial foodstuffs, particularly tobacco. This peculiar Scottish trading pattern was conditioned by the structure of the domestic economy and the inclusion of Scottish ports and merchants into the English commercial empire (Navigation Acts). On the one hand, the Scottish manufacturing base was weak. The domestic economy neither exported particularly large amounts and shares of her production, nor was it heavily reliant upon imports from overseas.Accordingly, average imports of tobacco, sugar and rum from the Americas far outpacedyearly averagedomestic exports of linen, woollen, leather and other manufactures to that region. -

A taxonomic framework for typhlopid snakes from the Caribbean and other regions (Reptilia, Squamata). Caribbean Herpetology 49:1–61. Abstract The evolutionary history and taxonomy of worm-like snakes (scolecophidians) continues to be refined as new molec- ular data are gathered and analyzed. Here we present additional evidence on the phylogeny of these snakes, from morphological data and 489 new DNA sequences, and propose a new taxonomic framework for the family Typhlopi- dae. Of 257 named species of typhlopid snakes, 92 are now placed in molecular phylogenies along with 60 addition- al species yet to be described. Afrotyphlopinae subfam. nov. is distributed almost exclusively in sub-Saharan Africa and contains three genera: Afrotyphlops, Letheobia, and Rhinotyphlops. Asiatyphlopinae subfam. nov. is distributed in Asia, Australasia, and islands of the western and southern Pacific, and includes ten genera:Acutotyphlops, Anilios, Asiatyphlops gen. -

Owners gain an ultimate profit from dismantlement. Most of the offshore platforms sent to be demolished since the beginning of the year are semi-submersible rigs. This type of rig weighs 10 to 15,000 t, i.e. a gain for the last owners of 2-4 million $ on the current purchase price from shipbreaking yards.
