  • Karl Jordan: a Life in Systematics
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION OF Kristin Renee Johnson for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History of SciencePresented on July 21, 2003. Title: Karl Jordan: A Life in Systematics Abstract approved: Paul Lawrence Farber Karl Jordan (1861-1959) was an extraordinarily productive entomologist who influenced the development of systematics, entomology, and naturalists' theoretical framework as well as their practice. He has been a figure in existing accounts of the naturalist tradition between 1890 and 1940 that have defended the relative contribution of naturalists to the modem evolutionary synthesis. These accounts, while useful, have primarily examined the natural history of the period in view of how it led to developments in the 193 Os and 40s, removing pre-Synthesis naturalists like Jordan from their research programs, institutional contexts, and disciplinary homes, for the sake of synthesis narratives. This dissertation redresses this picture by examining a naturalist, who, although often cited as important in the synthesis, is more accurately viewed as a man working on the problems of an earlier period. This study examines the specific problems that concerned Jordan, as well as the dynamic institutional, international, theoretical and methodological context of entomology and natural history during his lifetime. It focuses upon how the context in which natural history has been done changed greatly during Jordan's life time, and discusses the role of these changes in both placing naturalists on the defensive among an array of new disciplines and attitudes in science, and providing them with new tools and justifications for doing natural history. One of the primary intents of this study is to demonstrate the many different motives and conditions through which naturalists came to and worked in natural history.

I0024 NUMBER 2 299 AUGUST i8, I967 Systematic Notes on the Bird Family Cracidae. No. 8 The Genera Aburria, Chamaepetes, and Penelopina BY CHARLES VAURIE1 ABURRIA The genus Aburria is monotypic, and the single species, Aburria aburri, ranges in the upper tropical and the subtropical zone of western South America from the northeastern lower slopes of the Santa Marta Massif, the Sierra de Perija in Colombia and Venezuela, and the Cordillera de Merida in the western Andes of Venezuela, south through the Eastern Andes (including the Cordillera de la Macarena), Central Andes, and Western Andes of Colombia, eastern Ecuador, and Peru to the upper Urubamba Valley and the region of Marcapata. The altitudinal range of the specimens that I have seen extended from 1400 to 8100 feet, but, with one or two exceptions, the birds had not been taken below 2500 feet, which suggests that the normal range is from about 2460 to 8200 feet (about 750 to 2500 meters). I have seen also an old specimen labeled Santa Fe de Bogota, which is situated at 2620 meters, but it is probable that it had been collected somewhere below Bogota itself. This species varies geographically to a greater extent than has been suspected. Hellmayr and Conover (1942, p. 196) remarked that the birds 1 Associate Curator, Department of Ornithology, the American Museum of Natural History. 2 AMERICAN MUSEUM NOVITATES NO. 2299 of Peru average smaller than those of Colombia and Venezuela, which is true, but they did not mention that the gloss of the upper parts is Prussian blue in the birds of Peru, as against bronzy olive-green in those of Colombia and Venezuela.

N. Kashin during the period 1978-1982. The first of these (Kashin 1978) contains several issues of relevance to the AOU Check-list. Following the recommendations of Gregory and Dickinson, I propose the following: (a) replace the genus name Nyctanassa Stejneger, 1887, with the prior name Nyctherodius Reichenbach, 1852. According to Gregory and Dickinson, “Nyctanassa was introduced as a new name on the grounds of presumed homonymy of Nyctherodius with Nycterodius MacGillivray 1842, but the one letter difference is no longer considered a homonym.” According to the ICZN (1999), Nyctanassa can be retained if Nyctherodius has not been used since 1899, but a late edition of Studer’s Birds of North America (Studer 1903) used this name.

  • Journal of the Lepidopterists' Society 40(1)
    JOURNAL OF THE LEPIDOPTERISTS' SOCIETY Volume 40 1986 Number 1 Journal of the Lepidopterists' Society 40(1). 1986. 1-7 PRESIDENTIAL ADDRESS, 1984: A TRIBUTE TO THE AMATEUR LEE D. MILLER Allyn Museum of Entomology of the Florida State Museum, 3621 Bay Shore Road, Sarasota, Florida 33580 First of all, let me state that it has been a great pleasure to serve the Society as its president during the past year. This is a wonderful group and one of the few in this country where the professional and the amateur can speak as equals. But, all too often the statement is made: "He is only an amateur," usually implying that he doesn't know what he is talking about, or at least that his opinion is not worth as much as one who makes his living in the field. I do not accept this view, and this presentation is an unabashed tribute to those who do not make their living in the field of lepidopterology. What is an amateur? The word is derived from the Latin "amator" (lover) or the French "amare" (to love), and is defined in the dictionary as "one who cultivates a particular pursuit, study or science from taste, without pursuing it professionally." Everyone makes his or her living at something, and I consider an amateur lepidopterist as one who makes his living at something other than lepidopterology. There can, then, be janitors, pipefitters, medical doctors, engineers and mammalian ecologists using lepidopterology as an avocation. There are good am­ ateur workers in the field and bad ones, but the variant definition of amateur is not always applicable: "one practicing an art without mas­ tery of its essentials." I am praising that amateur who has gained a certain amount (often a great deal) of expertise in a particular phase of lepidopterology, enough so that he or she is able to impart that knowledge to others.
