    THE BIBLIOGRAPHY OF HADROSAURIAN DINOSAURS The First 150 Years: 1856 - 2006. complied by M.K. Brett-Surman © Smithsonian Institution 1985-2008 The Department of Paleobiology of the National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution, currently houses approximately 44 million fossil plant, invertebrate, and vertebrate fossils in more than 480 separate collections. In addition, Paleobiology also maintains a reference collection of over 120,000 stratigraphic and sediment samples. This listing represents a service provided to the public as part of our Outreach Program and as part of the Smithsonian Institution’s mission "for the increase and diffusion of knowledge...". Papers are listed by author and year. Author's names are capitalized. The viewer should be aware of any searches that are case sensitive. The papers listed here, in a majority of instances, do NOT contain abstracts, papers on ichnites, or popular articles or books, unless they present new information or cover an aspect of the history of dinosaur paleontology. At present, some of the legacy software that was used to maintain this list only allowed basic ASCII characters, therefore foreign accents (such as in French and Spanish) did not translate. This will be fixed at a later date. The Bibliography of Hadrosaurian Dinosaurs was written, compiled, and maintained by M.K. Brett-Surman, (Museum Specialist), P.O.

  • Material INDEX
    ACKNOWLEDGEMENT No matter how much hard work and countless of hours are put into creating a book such as this, its ultimate success depends on more than the work a single individual. In particular, I would like to thank George Behe and Bill Wormstedt for their unflinching encouragement and support from the very start of this project. Not only did they both take many hours of their own time to painstakingly proofread this work, but they also provided me with many constructive ideas and creative suggestions along the way. I would also like to thank Dr. Paul Lee for sharing a scan of the original handwritten wireless log of the SS Birma with me, and for discussing the various entries that were written on it. His own book, The Titanic and the Indifferent Stranger, is extremely well researched and is highly recommended reading for any serious student of the Californian affair. Another resource of information worth mentioning was Dave Bilnitzer’s former website, “The Titanic and the Mystery Ship,” which examined various arguments put forth by various authors of the Californian affair, and allowed the reader to compare those arguments with verbatim extracts from the 1912 inquiries and other contemporary sources. In addition to the above, I would also like to thank Tim Maltin for providing me with copies of Almerian’s Greenwich Mean Noon Observations and Daily Journal forms for her April 1912 eastbound voyage that he uncovered, and for letting me include them in my articles and books. I would also like to thank Bruce Beveridge for allowing me to use his general arrangement plans of Titanic on more than one occasion in many of my publications, and to thank those in charge of the Dundee City Archives for providing me with a copy of the original design plans of the SS Californian for use in my research and published work.

  • The Enigmatic Excursion of the SS Birma
    The Enigmatic Excursion of the SS Birma By Samuel Halpern Introduction There were a number of ships that received Titanic’s desperate calls for assistance the night of April 14, 1912. Including in the list, and the time at which they first heard from or about Titanic, are: SHIP [call letters] TIME (EST) Frankfurt [DFT] 10:25pm April 14 La Provence [MLP] 10:25pm April 14 Mount Temple [MLQ] 10:25pm April 14 Ypiranga [DYA] 10:28pm April 14 Caronia [MRA] 10:31pm April 14 Asian [MKL] 10:34pm April 14 Carpathia [MPA] 10:35pm April 14 Baltic [MBC] (via Caronia) 10:35pm April 14 Olympic [MKC] 10:50pm April 14 Celtic [MLC] 11:00pm April 14 Cincinnati [DDC] 11:05pm April 14 Virginian [MGN] 11:10pm April 14 In addition to these there was the Russian-American Line steamer Birma en route for Rotterdam and Libau from New York under the command of Captain Ludwick Stulping. Birma was a relatively small vessel, 415 feet in length, 46 feet in beam, and registered at 4595 gross tons. She had one yellow colored funnel, four masts, a single screw, and a rated speed of 13 knots. She also had accommodation for several first class, 200 second class, and 1,150 third class passengers. She was built by Fairfield Co. Ltd., Glasgow, and launched on October 2, 1894 as Arundel Castle for the Castle Mail Packet Company. In 1905 she was sold to the East Asiatic Company and renamed Birma for the far east service. In 1908 she was transferred to their subsidiary company, the Russian East Asiatic Steamship Company which became known as the Russian-American Line.

    1 of 1 The Almerian and the Mount Temple – A Tale of Two Ships (Revised 20 March 2013) by Samuel Halpern INTRODUCTION On May 14, 1912, day 7 into the British Wreck Commission’s investigation into the Titanic disaster, Captain Stanley Lord of the SS Californian was questioned by Mr. Robertson Dunlop, representative of the Leyland Line, about the movements of his vessel on the morning of April 15, 1912: 7399. (Mr. Dunlop.) Your Lordship will see they first of all cut through three miles of field ice. (To the Witness.) Then at 6.30 you steered a southerly course and passed the “Mount Temple” and stopped at about 7.30? – [Capt. Lord] Yes. 7400. Was there another vessel near the “Mount Temple”? - There was a two-masted steamer, pink funnel, black top, steering north down to the north-west. 7401. (Mr. Dunlop.) After 7.30 had you to navigate through the field ice again? - Yes, I ran along till I got to the “Carpathia” bearing north-east and then I cut straight through the ice at full speed 7402. From 7.30 to 8.30? - We were not going through ice the whole of that time. We were running [along the western edge of the ice] till it must have been about eight. This was the first time that Capt. Lord mentioned that he saw a vessel having two masts with a pink funnel and black top in the vicinity where Californian passed a stopped Mount Temple on the western side of a vast field of pack ice that separated his ship from where Carpathia was picking up survivors.

  • Maritime Titles Spring 2016
    Maritime Titles Spring 2016 IPG-Independent Publishers Group Operation Basalt The British Raid on Sark and Hitler's Commando Order Eric Lee Summary Operation Basalt was a raid carried out by British commandos on the island of Sark on the night of October 3-4, 1942. It was intended to reassure Channel Islanders that they had not been forgotten following their German occupation, to force the Germans to deploy resources, and to gain intelligence through German prisoners. Thought a tactical success, the raid remains mired in controversy, remembered because of Hitler’s reaction. Three days after the raid, he issued this order: "In future, all terror and sabotage troops of the British and their accomplices, who do not act like soldiers but rather like bandits, will be treated as such . and will be ruthlessly eliminated in battle, wherever they appear." Using the National Archive in Kew and the Sark Society archives, Eric Lee tells the 9780750964364 Basalt story for the first time. Did the commandos kill bound and unarmed German soldiers?
