While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material.

  • Glossary Glossary
    Glossary Glossary Albedo A measure of an object’s reflectivity. A pure white reflecting surface has an albedo of 1.0 (100%). A pitch-black, nonreflecting surface has an albedo of 0.0. The Moon is a fairly dark object with a combined albedo of 0.07 (reflecting 7% of the sunlight that falls upon it). The albedo range of the lunar maria is between 0.05 and 0.08. The brighter highlands have an albedo range from 0.09 to 0.15. Anorthosite Rocks rich in the mineral feldspar, making up much of the Moon’s bright highland regions. Aperture The diameter of a telescope’s objective lens or primary mirror. Apogee The point in the Moon’s orbit where it is furthest from the Earth. At apogee, the Moon can reach a maximum distance of 406,700 km from the Earth. Apollo The manned lunar program of the United States. Between July 1969 and December 1972, six Apollo missions landed on the Moon, allowing a total of 12 astronauts to explore its surface. Asteroid A minor planet. A large solid body of rock in orbit around the Sun. Banded crater A crater that displays dusky linear tracts on its inner walls and/or floor. 250 Basalt A dark, fine-grained volcanic rock, low in silicon, with a low viscosity. Basaltic material fills many of the Moon’s major basins, especially on the near side. Glossary Basin A very large circular impact structure (usually comprising multiple concentric rings) that usually displays some degree of flooding with lava. The largest and most conspicuous lava- flooded basins on the Moon are found on the near side, and most are filled to their outer edges with mare basalts.

  • The Problem of the Brisbane Tuff
    50 VoL. XLV., No. 11. The Problem of the Brisbane Tuff. By PROFESSOR H. C. RICHARDS, D. Sc., and W. H. BRYAN, D. Sc. (Department of Geology, University of Queensland). PLATES IV.-VI. ( Accepted for publication by the Roya� Society of Qiu!ensland, 30th November, 1933). · 1. INTRODUCTION. The following paper recor�s an attempt to discover the ongm, and explain the mode of formation of the rock now known as the Brisbane Tuff. While the authors long ago realised that this rock possessed a number of unusual features, their doubts as to its true nature were revived and strengthened when a section showing well­ developed columnar structure was exposed in the municipal quarry at Windsor some three miles north of the centre of the city of Brisbane. A more detailed examination disclosed other anomalous features, but a search of the literature showed that the characters displayed by the Brisbane Tuff, although rare, were not unique but could be closely paralleled in the "Great Hot Sand Flow" of Alaska and in the "Ignimbrites " of New Zealand, while they also resembled in certain respects the " Nitees ardentes" of Mt. Pelee. In the pages which follow only those features that have a direct bearing on the origin and nature of the Eris bane Tuff will be con­ sidered. For a more general account the reader is referred. to the paper by Mrs. C. Briggs (1928) published in these proceedings. 2. EARLIER VIEWS AS TO ORIGIN AND MODE OF FORMATION. The rock which is now knpwn as the Eris bane Tuff was first described by Leichhardt (1855) who examined the rock on his visit to Brisbane in 1844.

A NOTE ON VERSIONS The version presented here may differ from the published version. If citing, you are advised to consult the published version for pagination, volume/issue and date of publication 1 Liturgy as History: The Origins of the Exeter Martyrology Sarah Hamilton, University of Exeter Abstract Through an Anglo-Norman case study, this article highlights the value of normative liturgical material for scholars interested in the role which saints’ cults played in the history and identity of religious communities. The records of Anglo-Saxon cults are largely the work of Anglo-Norman monks. Historians exploring why this was the case have therefore concentrated upon hagiographical texts about individual Anglo-Saxon saints composed in and for monastic communities in the post-Conquest period. This article shifts the focus away from the monastic to those secular clerical communities which did not commission specific accounts, and away from individual cults, to uncover the potential of historical martyrologies for showing how such secular communities remembered and understood their own past through the cult of saints. Exeter Cathedral Library, Ms 3518, is a copy of the martyrology by the ninth-century Frankish monk, Usuard of Saint-Germain-des-Prés , written in and for Exeter cathedral’s canons in the mid-twelfth century.
