It was at the suggestion of my trusty guide Heinrich Burgener, that I decided to make an expedition to the Canadian Rockies in 1910. My ignorance of the Rockies and of the conditions and requisites for travelHng therein was complete, but the kindness and hospitality which had been shown to members of the Alpine Club (London) by the Alpine Club of Canada encouraged me to apply for information, and not only was this furnished to me in a most practical and useful form, but Mr. Wheeler's letters conveyed an assurance of a most cordial welcome at Banfif and a kind invitation to the annual camp. This latter I was unfortunately unable to accept, as I wished to reach some moderately remote group. 2 Canadian Alpine Journal. My party consisted of an Italian cousin of mine, Heinrich Burgener, and myself. Dr. Collie, who crossed the Atlantic on the same ship, suggested the Freshfield Group to me as one that was comparatively accessible, and yet rich in unclimbed peaks, and most kindly gave me his map of that and other groups lying to the north of Field. On our arrival at Banff, where we met Mr. Mitchell, we made our way up to the Club House by a lovely path through the woods, and were delighted with the beauty of the situation, while nothing could exceed the kindness with which we were received. In fact, I must say that throughout this journey everyone was most good to us, and I am only too anxious to return to Canada again. We now definitely decided on the Freshfield Group, and our first stage was to Lake Louise, whence on the same afternoon we caught a train which took us to Field in time for dinner. An interview with John Otto fol- lowed, with whom I had already been in correspondence, and it was arranged that we should start from Field on Friday, July 15th. Our outfit from England, about the bulk of which I had had some misgivings, was pro- nounced by Otto to be reasonable, to my great relief. Thursday the 14th we spent lazily in the morning and busily in the afternoon, unpacking and arranging the outfit. On this day we met Bruce Otto, John's brother, who was to accompany us as packer, and I do not think the British Empire contains a better fellow. Our party was probably the most varied in nationality that has ever gone out in the Rockies, consisting as it did of an Italian, a Swiss, an American (the cook), a Canadian and an Englishman. The two former had little or no English, while the next two had nothing but English, so that the interpreter's ofifice was no sinecure. On the 15th the weather was fairly good and we started at 10.40 a.m., the party consisting of Heinrich, An Expedition to the Freshfield Group. 3 my cousin, Bruce Otto, myself and ten ponies. After crossing the Kicking Horse River by the bridge and riding for a couple of miles along a good road (which leads, I believe, to Emerald Lake) w^e turned to the left into the forest, on a trail. We soon came to a steeper path than I had ever ridden down before, but cayuses seem to be differently built from other horses, and ours negotiated the steep bit beautifully. The saddles also were admirably adapted for their purpose. We now crossed Emerald Creek, and soon came to a place where we decided to camp, although it was only about four miles out, so that Bruce might return to Field and get some fishing tackle and other things which had been for- gotten. We spent a peaceful afternoon after pitching the tent and lunching, while a slight shower led us to dig a trench round the tent with our axes. After supper, we heard with much pleasure and, of course, the requisite amount of credulity, a story of a man who fell into an ice stream, and was so numbed that he had to chew the reins through, in order to get free. On the 16th of July, after breakfasting sumptuously, we started at 9.10 in a N. W. direction, through the forest. Crossing a creek by a bridge, we next walked up a steep path, and then going alternately up and down hill, we entered the valley of the North Fork (v. Collie's map). Camp was pitched near some burnt timber, on the right bank of the stream. We were pretty stiff after a seven hours ride, and some members of the party promptly withdrew with some grease. A little fishing was attended with fair success, but the tortures inflicted by the mosquitoes were indescribable. The creek rose somewhat in the evening, owing to a storm to the north of us. A little rain fell in the night. On the 17th we got under weigh about noon. The trail was very rough to-day. After crossing the river several times, we reached Baker's Pass at about 3 p.m. and camped about 200 feet below it on the north side. 4 Canadian Alpine Journal. July the 18th was a lovely day. We started at 10.40 and rose to a height of about 7400 ft. because bluffs prevent progress in the valley, and from here we had a beautiful view^ of Mt. Mummery, some of the Freshfield Group and Mt. Sir Sandford. The trail now dropped very steeply for about 3,000 ft., but we had no trouble until we came to the Trapper's Creek, which was the worst we had to cross on the whole expedition. The bottom was very bad, and the current was swift and quite sufficiently deep. However, Bruce on Snowball, his excellent pony, led across, and the rest of the outfit fol- lowed without mishap. A further descent now brought us into the Blaeberry Valley, and, passing a trapper's cabin, we ascended the left bank of the Blaeberry River for some distance, and then crossed it to camp. The water was deeper than in the Trapper's Creek, but the bottom was good.

Tremaine • 1993 by Craig Skinner and Kim Tremaine International Association for Obsidian Studies Department of Anthropology San Jose State University San Jose, CA 95192-0113 International Association for Obsidian Studies Occasional Paper No. 1 1993 Magmas cooled to freezing temperature and crystallized to a solid have to lose heat of crystallization. A glass, since it never crystallizes to form a solid, never changes phase and never has to lose heat of crystallization. Obsidian, supercooled below the crystallization point, remained a liquid. Glasses form when some physical property of a lava restricts ion mobility enough to prevent them from binding together into an ordered crystalline pattern. Aa the viscosity ofthe lava increases, fewer particles arrive at positions of order until no particle arrangement occurs before solidification. In a glaas, the ions must remain randomly arranged; therefore, a magma forming a glass must be extremely viscous yet fluid enough to reach the surface. 1he modem rational explanation for obsidian petrogenesis (Bakken, 1977:88) Some people called a time at the flat named Tok'. They were going to hunt deer. They set snares on the runway at Blood Gap. Adder bad real obsidian. The others made their arrows out of just anything. They did not know about obsidian. When deer were caught in snares, Adder shot and ran as fast as he could to the deer, pulled out the obsidian and hid it in his quiver.

    Dartmoor National Park Authority Local Plan Review 2018 - 2036 Full report on Regulation 19 representations (by respondent) Respondent Number: 0002 Name: John Penny Organisation: Devon Stone Federation On behalf of: Rep Number: 7 Local Plan Section: 1 Paragraph / Policy: Strategy Is the Local Plan sound?: Yes Is the Local Plan legally compliant?: No Is the Local Plan compliant with the duty to co-operate?: Yes Hearing session(s)?: Yes, I wish to participate in hearing session(s) Why?: to ensure the Plan is consistent with national policy Did respondent comment on Reg 18 Local Plan?: Yes Detail of Representation: plan needs to be consistent with national policy Modifications necessary: The paragraph states "Major development will not take place in the National Park other than in exceptional circumstances". The use of the word 'will' is not appropriate and does not reflect the definition given on page 9 under "Understanding the Local Plan". The sentence about Major development is supposed to reflect para 172 of the NPPF 2018. This uses the word 'should', as in "Planning permission should be refused for major development other than in exceptional circumstances". Therefore, the sentence in the Local Plan should be changed to: "Major development should not take place in the National Park other than in exceptional circumstances". We suggest that the use of the word 'will' is reviewed elsewhere in the Draft Local Plan. Authority response: The wording is considered consistent with the NPPF, ‘should’ in the NPPF allows local policy a degree of flexibility in the application of the policy and the possibility of introducing other criteria which could allow major development to occur in a National Park, other than the exceptional circumstances stated in NPPF para 172.

    This file was created by scanning the printed publication. Errors identified by the software have been corrected; however, some errors may remain. JOURNAL OF CRUSTACEAN BIOLOGY, 13(1): 184-189, 1993 PERSISTENCE OF BRANCHINECTA PALUDOSA (ANOSTRACA) IN SOUTHERN WYOMING, WITH NOTES ON ZOOGEOGRAPHY James F. Saunders III, Denton Belk, and Richard Dufford ABSTRACT The fairy shrimp Branchinectapaludosa is a persistentresident of aestival ponds at high elevation in the Medicine Bow Mountains of southernWyoming. These populationsare far removed from the Arctic tundrahabitat that typifiesthe distributionof the species, and appear to representthe southern margin of the range in North America. All of the records for the northernUnited States and southernCanada appear to lie along the CentralFlyway that is a major migrationroute for waterfowland shorebirdsthat nest in the Arctic. Passive dispersal probablyprovides for frequentcolonization of marginalhabitats and gene flow to established populations. The fairy shrimp Branchinectapaludosa have been deposited in the University of (Muller)is widely distributedin the circum- Colorado Museum (UCM 2192, 2193, polar tundra of the Holarctic region (Vek- 2194).

  • THE USE of BIOTECHNOLOGY for SUPPLYING of PLANT MATERIAL for TRADITIONAL CULTURE of MEDICINAL, RARE SPECIES Arnica Montana L
    Lucrări Ştiinţifice – vol. 57 (1) 2014, seria Agronomie THE USE OF BIOTECHNOLOGY FOR SUPPLYING OF PLANT MATERIAL FOR TRADITIONAL CULTURE OF MEDICINAL, RARE SPECIES Arnica montana L. Iuliana PANCIU1, Irina HOLOBIUC2, Rodica CĂTANĂ2 e-mail: [email protected] Abstract Taking into account the importance of Arnica montana, the attempts to improve the culture technologies are justified. Our study had the aim to optimize in vitro plant multiplication and growth as a source of plants for traditional culture in this species. Aseptic germinated seedlings were used as explants, apical meristem being the origin of the direct morphogenesis process. For induction of regeneration, to promote plant growth and rooting, we used some combination of growth factors and supplements as ascorbic acid, glutamine, PVP and active charcoal added in culture media based on MS formula. We improved the efficiency of micropropagation, the best values were recorded on variant supplemented with PVP –.7 regenerants/explant in the first 4 weeks and increasing at 17/ initial explant ( mean 14.62) after 8 weeks. Concerning the germination capacity of the seeds scored after 2 weeks in sterile condition, the rate was 47.76 and in non-sterile conditions, the rate varied depending of the substrate used. Comparing to the plants obtained through traditional seeds germination, in vitro plants grew faster and were more vigourously. The micropropagation protocol in Arnica montana L. allowed us to regenerate healthy, developed and rooted plants in the second subculture cycle. This in vitro methodology can provide plant material for initiation of a conventional culture after acclimatization of the obtained vitroplants.
