Waterfowl in Iowa, Overview
STATE OF IOWA 1977 WATERFOWL IN IOWA By JACK W MUSGROVE Director DIVISION OF MUSEUM AND ARCHIVES STATE HISTORICAL DEPARTMENT and MARY R MUSGROVE Illustrated by MAYNARD F REECE Printed for STATE CONSERVATION COMMISSION DES MOINES, IOWA Copyright 1943 Copyright 1947 Copyright 1953 Copyright 1961 Copyright 1977 Published by the STATE OF IOWA Des Moines Fifth Edition FOREWORD Since the origin of man the migratory flight of waterfowl has fired his imagination. Undoubtedly the hungry caveman, as he watched wave after wave of ducks and geese pass overhead, felt a thrill, and his dull brain questioned, “Whither and why?” The same age - old attraction each spring and fall turns thousands of faces skyward when flocks of Canada geese fly over. In historic times Iowa was the nesting ground of countless flocks of ducks, geese, and swans. Much of the marshland that was their home has been tiled and has disappeared under the corn planter. However, this state is still the summer home of many species, and restoration of various areas is annually increasing the number. Iowa is more important as a cafeteria for the ducks on their semiannual flights than as a nesting ground, and multitudes of them stop in this state to feed and grow fat on waste grain. The interest in waterfowl may be observed each spring during the blue and snow goose flight along the Missouri River, where thousands of spectators gather to watch the flight. There are many bird study clubs in the state with large memberships, as well as hundreds of unaffiliated ornithologists who spend much of their leisure time observing birds.

Preliminary Descriptions of New Birds from Mexico and Guatemala in the Collection of the United States Department of Agriculture

[_Jan Leach for a genus of hymenopterousinsects of the family Tenth- ridinidm, and subsequently(•856) used by Dr. Giebel for a genus of neuropterousinsects. While I am pleasedto be able to compli- ment him upon the discoverythat this entomologicalword "has no connectionwith the original •a}i•t," he is ntistaken in saying that •lbia and 25rabiaare not the sameword in ornithology; for ,4bia is simplya variantof 25rabia,introduced by Agassizupon a mistaken notion of the etymologyand correct form of Azara's name habia. If Dr. Stejnegerwill look in the Index of Gray's• Handlist',he will find both forIns in ornithology. The literal identityof ,4bia Leach and ,4bia Agassiz is simply fortuitous; the former is of Greek origin; the latter is not. I statedthe matter correctly,,someyears ago, in the 'Century Dictionary': see under the words ,4bia, ]labia, and Zame/odia. PRELIMINARY DESCRIPTIONS OF NEW BIRDS FROM MEXICO AND GUATEMALA IN THE COLLEC- TION OF THE UNITED STATES DEPART- MENT OF AGRICULTURE. BY E. W. NELSON. T•t• present paper is based upon specimensof Mexican and Guatemalanbirds obtained mainly by myself and my assistant, Mr. E. A. Goldman, during explorations conductedfor the Bio- logical Survey of the U.S. Department of Agriculture during the last five years. In addition to this collection, numbering between four and five thousand specimens,I have had free access to the National Museuln series of Tropical American birds for purposesof comparison. In the course of our work we have traversed Mexico from one end to the other, and have crossed the countrysix times from seato sea.

150 Problem Set 4.Pdf
CS103 Handout 15 Fall 2020 October 9, 2020 Problem Set 4 This fourth problem set explores set cardinality and graph theory. It serves as tour of the infinite (through set theory) and the finite (through graphs and their properties) and will give you a better sense for how discrete mathematical structures connect across these domains. Plus, you’ll get to see some pretty pictures and learn about why all this matters in the first place. Some of the questions on this problem set will assume you’ve read the online Guide to Cantor’s The- orem, which goes into more detail about the mechanics of the proof of Cantor’s theorem as well as some auxiliary definitions. Good luck, and have fun! Due Friday, October 16th at 12:00PM noon Pacific 2 / 6 Problem One: Cartesian Products and Set Cardinalities If A and B are sets, the Cartesian product of A and B, denoted A × B, is the set { (x, y) | x ∈ A ∧ y ∈ B }. Intuitively, A × B is the set of all ordered pairs you can make by taking one element from A and one ele- ment from B, in that order. For example, the set {1, 2} × {u, v, w} is { (1, u), (1, v), (1, w), (2, u), (2, v), (2, w) }. For the purposes of this problem, let’s have ★ and ☺ denote two arbitrary objects where ★ ≠ ☺. Over the course of this problem, we’re going to ask you to prove that |ℕ × {★, ☺}| = |ℕ|. i. Define a bijection f : ℕ × {★, ☺} → ℕ. The inputs to this function are elements of ℕ × {★, ☺}, so you can define your function by writing f(n, x) = ________________________ where n ∈ ℕ and x ∈ {★, ☺}.

An Atlas of Rare & Familiar Colour THE HARVARD ART MUSEUMS’ FORBES PIGMENT COLLECTION Yoko Ono “If people want to make war they should make a colour war, and paint each others’ cities up in the night in pinks and greens.” Foreword p.6 Introduction p.12 Red p.28 Orange p.54 Yellow p.70 Green p.86 Blue p.108 Purple p.132 Brown p.150 Black p.162 White p.178 Metallic p.190 Appendix p.204 8 AN ATLAS OF RARE & FAMILIAR COLOUR FOREWORD 9 You can see Harvard University’s Forbes Pigment Collection from far below. It shimmers like an art display in its own right, facing in towards Foreword the glass central courtyard in Renzo Piano’s wonderful 2014 extension to the Harvard Art Museums. The collection seems, somehow, suspended within the sky. From the public galleries it is tantalising, almost intoxicating, to see the glass-fronted cases full of their bright bottles up there in the administra- tive area of the museum. The shelves are arranged mostly by hue; the blues are graded in ombre effect from deepest midnight to the fading in- digo of favourite jeans, with startling, pleasing juxtapositions of turquoise (flasks of lightest green malachite; summer sky-coloured copper carbon- ate and swimming pool verdigris) next to navy, next to something that was once blue and is now simply, chalk. A few feet along, the bright alizarin crimsons slake to brownish brazil wood upon one side, and blush to madder pink the other. This curious chromatic ordering makes the whole collection look like an installation exploring the very nature of painting.
