Project Title Leigh FSA Expansion Scheme Environmental Statement August 2020 We are the Environment Agency. We protect and improve the environment and make it a better place for people and wildlife. We operate at the place where environmental change has its greatest impact on people’s lives. We reduce the risks to people and properties from flooding; make sure there is enough water for people and wildlife; protect and improve air, land and water quality and apply the environmental standards within which industry can operate. Acting to reduce climate change and helping people and wildlife adapt to its consequences are at the heart of all that we do. We cannot do this alone. We work closely with a wide range of partners including government, business, local authorities, other agencies, civil society groups and the communities we serve.

RAMASUBRAMANIAN Division of Crop Protection-ICAR-Central Institute for Jute and Allied Fibres, Kolkatta, 700120, West Bengal, India *Corresponding author E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT: A survey on native natural enemies of Bihar hairy caterpillar, Spilosoma obliqua Walker was conducted during April- August 2012 cropping season at ICAR-CRIJAF, Barrackpore as well as jute growing belts in West Bengal, India. The survey revealed that Protapanteles obliquae (Wilkinson) (Braconidae: Hymenoptera) is a potential larval parasitoid of S. obliqua which is occurring naturally on jute. This is the first record of natural parasitism of P. obliquae on S. obliqua on jute crop in India.

Merr) (Lepidoptera: Erebidae, Arctiinae) E. González & H. M. Beccacece Abstract The presence of Dysschema sacrifica (Hübner, [1831]) on soybean ( Glycine max (L.) Merr) is reported for the first time. Larvae of this species were found consuming soybean leaves in soybean fields in Córdoba province, Argentina, and were able to complete their life cycle. Characteristics of adults and larvae are provided for rapid identification in the field. Due to the widespread distribution of this species within the region where soybean is more intensively cultivated in South America, we conclude that D. sacrifica is a potential soybean pest. Further studies on infestation frequency, damage levels and control by natural enemies are needed. KEY WORDS: Lepidoptera, Erebidae, Arctiidae, Dysschema sacrifica , soybean, pest, Argentina.

THE WALDEN LANDSCAPE IN THE EARLY SEVENTEENTH CENTERS AND ITS ANTECELENTS Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the University of London by John Louis Mnkk Gulley 1960 ABSTRACT This study attempts to describe the historical geography of a confined region, the Weald, before 1650 on the basis of factual research; it is also a methodological experiment, since the results are organised in a consistently retrospective sequence. After defining the region and surveying its regional geography at the beginning of the seventeenth century, the antecedents and origins of various elements in the landscape-woodlands, parks, settlement and field patterns, industry and towns - are sought by retrospective enquiry. At two stages in this sequence the regional geography at a particular period (the early fourteenth century, 1086) is , outlined, so that the interconnections between the different elements in the region should not be forgotten.

National Arc F Kent Archives Offic Ch 46 Watts Charity MSS., 1579-1972 Deposited by Mr. Chinnery, Clerk to the Charity, Rochester, 1st May 1974, and 5th February, 1976 Catalogued by Alison Revell, June 1978 INTRODUCTION For information concerning the establishment of Watts's Charity, under Richard Watts of Rochester's will, in 1579 and its subsequent history, The Report of Commissioners for Inquiring Concerning Charities - Kent, 1815-39 Pp. 504-9, provides most of the basic facts. Other Rochester Charities are dealt with in the same Report (see pages 55-57, and 500-513). The Report also deals with various early legal cases concerning the Charity, and the uses to which its funds should be put, most notably the cases of the parishes of St. Margaret 's Rochester, and Strood, against the parishioners of St. Nicholas in 1680, and of the parishioners of Chatham against the Trustees of the Charity in 1808 (see L1-4B in this catalogue). The original will of Richard Watts, drawn up in 1579 and proved in the following year in the Consistory Court of Rochester, is kept in this Office under the catalogue mark, DRb PW12 (1579), with a registered copy in the volume of registered wills, DRb PWr 16 (ffl05-107). A copy is also catalogued in this collection as Ch46 L1A. Further Watts Charity material is found in the Dean and Chapter of Rochester MSS, under the KAO catalogue number, DRc Cl/1-65, and consists mainly of accounts of the Providers of the Poor of Rochester, between the years 1699 and 1819.

SPITSYN* & GRIGORY S. POTAPOV Federal Center for Integrated Arctic Research, Russian Academy of Sciences, 163000, Arkhangelsk, Russia *Corresponding author: [email protected] Received 29 December 2019 │ Accepted by V. Pešić: 23 January 2020 │ Published online 24 January 2020. Abstract Spilarctia procedra inhabits the southern part of the Malay Peninsula and Indonesia. The northernmost records of this species were known in Southern Thailand, on the border with Malaysia (6° N). In this article, we present the first record of Spilarctia procedra from Laos (20° N) with a description of the new subspecies Spilarctia procedra oudomsayensis ssp. nov. We also report the first record of Spilarctia gopara from Myanmar. Key words: Oriental Region, tiger moths, new subspecies, Spilarctia punctata species group. Introduction The Spilarctia punctata species group contains 13 species, the range of which expands from India and South China to the Philippines and Bali (Dubatolov & de Vos 2010). Until recently, only 2 species were known from the north of Indochina, i.e. Spilarctia gopara (Moore, 1859) and S. ummera Swinhoe, 1889 (Dubatolov & de Vos 2010). Spilarctia procedra (Swinhoe, 1907) inhabits the southern part of the Malay Peninsula and Indonesia (from Sumatra to Bali). The northernmost records of this species were known in Southern Thailand, on the border with Malaysia (6° N) (Černý & Pinratana 2009). However, we collected two individuals (male and female) of Spilarctia procedra from the north of Laos.

PU1S1EB BY IAY10B API) l'BAKCIS, KBI) MON COURT, FLEET STREET. PREFACE. The fifth part of this Work is devoted to illustrations of types of Indian Moths in the British Museum. The majority of the species figured are from the region of the N.E. Himalayas ; but a few forms occurring as far Avest as Almora have been introduced for comparison with the more eastern species which are allied to also them ; some species of which the exact locality is unknown, but which are said to be from North India, have been admitted, since they were probably obtained either from Silhet or Assam.

  • Landscape Assessment of Kent 2004
    CHILHAM: STOUR VALLEY Location map: CHILHAMCHARACTER AREA DESCRIPTION North of Bilting, the Stour Valley becomes increasingly enclosed. The rolling sides of the valley support large arable fields in the east, while sweeps of parkland belonging to Godmersham Park and Chilham Castle cover most of the western slopes. On either side of the valley, dense woodland dominate the skyline and a number of substantial shaws and plantations on the lower slopes reflect the importance of game cover in this area. On the valley bottom, the river is picked out in places by waterside alders and occasional willows. The railway line is obscured for much of its length by trees. STOUR VALLEY Chilham lies within the larger character area of the Stour Valley within the Kent Downs AONB. The Great Stour is the most easterly of the three rivers cutting through the Downs. Like the Darent and the Medway, it too provided an early access route into the heart of Kent and formed an ancient focus for settlement. Today the Stour Valley is highly valued for the quality of its landscape, especially by the considerable numbers of walkers who follow the Stour Valley Walk or the North Downs Way National Trail. Despite its proximity to both Canterbury and Ashford, the Stour Valley retains a strong rural identity. Enclosed by steep scarps on both sides, with dense woodlands on the upper slopes, the valley is dominated by intensively farmed arable fields interspersed by broad sweeps of mature parkland. Unusually, there are no electricity pylons cluttering the views across the valley. North of Bilting, the river flows through a narrow, pastoral floodplain, dotted with trees such as willow and alder and drained by small ditches.
