During the second half of the eighteenth and the entire following century, the former Lithophyta, as a subdivision of the Anthozoa, of for taxonomists were an object study anatomists, and, particu- larly in the nineteenth century, palaeontologists. Not until the twentieth century did ecological research into corals, in combination with laboratory investigation, begin to develop. This development had been heralded in the nineteenth century by DANA and DARWIN; as a result of their studies, some general conditions for coral growth became known. At the beginning of the present century, in the laboratory at Dry Tortugas, Florida, VAUGHAN and MAYOR carried out experiments concerning the 2 influence of various physical factors on the rate of growth and metabolism of reef corals. VAUGHAN studied the composition of the coral fauna of Puerto Rico (1902), and later the ecology of the reef corals of Hawai (1907). MAYOR studied the ecology of the Murray Island reef (1917).

  • Service and Repair Manual
    Nemrod Snark III Silver Nemrod - USA Service and Repair Manual SNARK III SILVER 2-HOSE REGULATOR page 1 Nemrod Snark III Silver OVERVIEW The 2-hose regulator represents the earliest designs in pressure reduction and air delivery systems in the evolution of the Self Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus (SCUBA). Both first and second stages are set together in a compact housing connected to the tank valve. The regulator obtains it's name from the configuration of it's large inhalation and exhaust hoses. This particular design offers a more diffused exhalation to the rear of the diver, increasing the field of view and reducing noise level created by exhaled bubbles. The 2-hose regulator has also proven itself as a reliable ice diving regulator due to the warm exhaled air maintaining the working mechanism above the freezing point. All these features have maintained the popularity of this regulator amongst u/w photographs, commercial and military divers around the world. Due to it's similarity in breathing function with the Re-breather, the old 2-hose is again sought after as an efficient and economical training device. The Nemrod Snark III is the only 2-hose regulator still in production with full factory support. page 2 Nemrod Snark III Silver FIRST STAGE DESCRIPTION: Before the development of the single-hose regulator both, first and second stages were located in the housing. The first stage offers the same generic function as all un-balanced diaphragm regulators. The h.p. diaphragm holds the upstream h.p. seat in the open position while at rest.
