  • Editorial This Linnean Is Mainly Concerned with the Welsh Marches
    THE LINNEAN 2030 VOLUME 16 I Editorial This Linnean is mainly concerned with the Welsh Marches. During October last the Society held its first field trip, when it studied the geology of Offa’s Dyke. The programme also included a lecture by Rev R.W.D. Fenn and Mr J.B. Sinclair which revolved around the Silurian Period, correlating with the interests and observations of local landowners and their friendship with eminent Victorian scientists such as the Reverend Adam Sedgwick (1 785-1 873) and Roderick Impy Murchison (I 792-1 871). The lecture, which was based mainly on the archives of the Banks family, throws new light on the old Cambrian-Silurian controversy and the classification of the Lower Palaeozoic Greywake-facies. In 183 1 Henslow persuaded Charles Darwin to think of geology and introduced him to Sedgwick. Later that summer (5-20 August) Sedgwick took Darwin on a geological tour ofNorth Wales where he had already begun investigating the Greywake-facies and had delineated the Cambrian. ~- ~~~ ~~~ - ~ ~ ~~ Geological section from Sedgwick’s letter to Damin 4 Sept. 1831. By 1835, Sedgwick and Murchison had become friends and were carrying out their researches in both Devon and Wales on the slates or Greywake-facies. In 1838, when Murchison published his monumental 2-volume work The Silurian System, he dedicated it to Sedgwick. However, Murchison was both ambitious and tyrannical and by 1842 a great rift had already devoloped in their relationship, with Murchison extending the Silurian downward to incorporate much of Sedgwick’s initial Cambrian. This controversy was eventually resolved in Sedgwick’s favour when, in 1847, the Geological Survey showed that there were ancient rocks below the Silurian strata in northwestern Wales.

  • CAMBRIDGE LIBRARY COLLECTION Books of Enduring Scholarly Value
    Cambridge University Press 978-1-108-08122-1 - A Monograph of British Trilobites from the Cambrian, Silurian, and Devonian Formations John William Salter Frontmatter More information CAMBRIDGE LIBRARY COLLECTION Books of enduring scholarly value Monographs of the Palaeontographical Society The Palaeontographical Society was established in 1847, and is the oldest Society devoted to study of palaeontology worldwide. Its primary role is to promote the description and illustration of the British fossil flora and fauna, via publication of an authoritative monograph series. These monographs cover a wide range of taxonomic groups, from microfossils, trilobites and ammonites through to Coal Measure plants, mammals and reptiles, and from all ages from Cambrian to Pleistocene. They form a benchmark for understanding the past life of the British Isles and many include the original descriptions of numerous key species. The first monograph (on the Crag Mollusca) was published in March 1848 and the Society still continues this work today. Notable authors in the series include Charles Darwin (fossil barnacles) and Richard Owen (dinosaurs and other extinct reptiles). Beginning in 2014, the Cambridge Library Collection and the Society are collaborating to reissue the earlier publications, focusing on monographs completed between 1848 and 1918. A Monograph of British Trilobites from the Cambrian, Silurian, and Devonian Formations At the time of his death, John William Salter (1820–69) was dubbed ‘the prince of palaeontologists’. A true naturalist with a particular interest in Trilobita, he started publishing this monograph in 1864, and three further parts were issued in 1865–7. But his heath failed and he died, leaving around half of the trilobites then known from Britain untreated; the work was wound up in 1883.

  • Treasurer Fiona Ma's 2019 Year-End Review
    Fiona Ma, CPA Treasurer State of California December 19, 2019 Dear Friends, The science fiction writer William Gibson, who created the term “cyberspace,” is also credited with observing that “… the future is already here, it’s just not distributed evenly.” That’s also a good way to describe one of the overarching goals of my administration as California’s 34th Treasurer – which is to recognize the future and make sure it is distributed evenly. As the State Treasurer for the world’s fifth largest economy, I take my job very seriously and thank the 7.8 million voters who elected me on November 6, 2018. I was sworn-in on January 8, 2019 and am fortunate to work with 450 highly motivated, ethical, and trained professionals at the State Treasurer’s Office (STO). And although I don’t mention specific people by name here, I want to personally thank my dedicated team at the STO for safeguarding our public funds and serving our constituents with distinction. SERVING AS THE STATE’S BANKER All taxes, fines, fees, interest, and penalties come through my office. That totals more than $2 trillion each year. Pursuant to State law, the State Treasurer serves as agent for sale on all State bonds. For example, from July to December, the STO sold $7.65 billion of bonds, including: $4.23 billion of voter-approved general obligation bonds, including $1.74 billion for new projects and $2.49 billion of refunding bonds. The refunding bonds will save the State’s General Fund $883 million over the next 20 years, or $742.6 million on a present value basis.

I wasn’t a genius at all, just bereft of ideas.” Numan’s status as one of pop’s most inventive synth-botherers is itself the result of a happy accident. In the late 70s, he had been signed to Beggars Banquet as a punk artist and released the Tubeway Army album in 1978. But after a chance encounter with a Minimoog left behind by another artist in the recording studio, he made an electronic album – 1979’s Replicas – instead. Four decades later, he is still at it: his forth- Our friends electric coming album Savage is a futuristic fantasy that is, he laughs, “just more of the same really, if I’m totally honest”.
