VOLUME IV (LEPIDOPTERA), PART II, by M. I. Falkovit'lh (ed.) et al. 1990. E. J. Brill, Leiden. (translation of: OPREDELITEL NASEKOMYKH EVEOPEISKOI CHASTI SSSR, TOM IV, CHESHUEKRYLYE, VTORAIA CHAST. Nauka Publishers, Leningrad, 1981-trans­ lator: B. R. Sharma). x + 1092 pp., 675 figs. Hard cover, 16 x 24 cm, ISBN 90-04-08926- 8. $160.00 U.S. Available from E. J. Brill (U.S.A.) Inc., 24 Huclson Street, Kinderhook, New York 12106. This remarkable, bulky handbook is the second part of a work devoted to the Lepi­ doptera of western Russia. The English version of Part One was issued in 1987 (Amerind Publishing Co. Pvt. Ltd, New Delhi-edition supervised by the U.S.D.A. , Washington, D.C.), and it covered the non-ditrysian families (with only a superficial treatment of the Nepticulidae), and eight families among the lower Ditrysia, namely the Psychidae and dll members of the Zygaenoidea, Cossoidea, Sesioidea and Tortricoidea. Part Two deals with a larger number of families (29 if one accepts the classification that I proposed in 1991: see Entomol. Seand. 22:90-91). These are the Eriocottidae and Tineidae (including the "Euplocamidae" and "Hieroxestidae" ), all members of the Gracillarioidea, Ypono­ meutoidea, Choreutoidea, Urodoidea (Woekia Heinemann: p. 508, as a "plutellid" genus), Schreckensteinioidea, and Epermenioidea, and all the gelechioid families with the ex­ ception of most Coleophoridae (only the Amphisbatinae being treated: pp.

  • Ridgeway House Ridgeway | Shorne | DA12 3LW Ridgeway House
    Ridgeway House Ridgeway | Shorne | DA12 3LW Ridgeway House Ridgeway House contains all the pleasing attributes of late Georgian domestic architecture. The façade has the large attractive windows of its period with the addition of two Victorian bays. This impressive frontage attracted the present owners, David and Tanya, who were immediately enchanted by the warm, inviting interior and stunning garden. The house was in need of some care and attention, and it was with great love and scrupulous attention to detail, that they restored the house to its original elegance. The rooms have the space, symmetry and balance of their period which make the house an aesthetically pleasing, comfortable and spacious home; and the perfect venue for large gatherings of family and friends. The family eat in the dining room on a daily basis, and as the house is in an elevated position they can enjoy watching the world go by, through the large bay window. For more formal entertaining it transforms into a stylish setting, where you can experience a sense of how the room must have been in its own time. The house has a bright and positive ambience throughout, and the double aspect in the sitting room make it a particularly pleasant airy room. It is an all year room where the family relax each evening. They fling open the patio doors in the summer, and sit cosily by the open fire in winter. The well equipped kitchen is a busy area where you can enjoy a leisurely chat at the breakfast bar, or take your morning coffee out to the patio.

  • Pollen Images of Selected British Flora: Part 3
    Page 176 Family: Poaceae SEM images courtesy:SEM images Neville Rachel Phleum pratense Timothy Collection date: SEM date: 14/1/6 Location: Phleum pratense is a monoporate grain with the exine verrucate. Porus is circular, well defined and prominent . The nexine is thickened around the porus to form the costa. A native plant common to both agricultural land and waste places. Height: 1.5m. SEM images courtesy:SEM images Neville Rachel Poa trivialis Rough Meadow-grass Collection date: SEM date: 14/12/06 Location: Poa trivialis is a monoporate grain with the exine verrucate to micro-verrucate with a grater portion of micro-verrucae than verrucae. Porus is circular, well defined and prominent . The nexine is thickened around the porus to form the costa. A native plant common to open areas such as rough grassy places, wasteland and cultivated ground preferring moist situations. Height: 75cm. SEM Pollen images of selected British flora Page 177 Poaceae family summary. There have been many attempts to distinguish between pollen grains of members of the Poaceae ( formerly Graminaceae) family, attempts have been made by Beug (1961); Grohne (1957); Gourham (1969); Anderson (1979); all have met with limited success (Fageri and Iversen, 1989). The general consensus of these researchers was that the size of the pollen grains varied between that of cultivated cereals and wild grasses; the cereal crops produced large pollen grains on average but there was also variability in size amongst species also (Moore et al, 1991, p9 100). To determine size accurately and develop a solid analysis of pollen grains care needs to be taken that the pollen grains do not collapse as many did during this analysis.

  • The Ruined Chapel of St Katherine at Shorne, Kent. Part II
    Archaeologia Cantiana Vol. 23 1898 THE ETJINED CHAPEL OF ST. KATHERINE AT SHOIINE, KENT. PAET II. BY GEORGE M. ARNOLD, F.S.A. SINCE my communication upon this Chantry, which appeared on pp. 195—202 of Yol. XX. of Archceologia Gantiana, the follow- ing additional information has come to hand in reference to the building, the history of which was so obscure, that not only all circumstances of its foundation, but even the Saint of its dedication had been utterly lost. Mr. Leland L, Duncan, in writing his Notes of Wills proved in the Rochester Consistory Court, has very kindly drawn niy attention to a will of Thomas Davy of " Shornstrete " (book vii., fol. 77A), bearing date A.D. 1516, and attested by Sir Thomas Elys, in which (he states) there occurs the following bequest:— " To the reparacion of Saynfc Kateren Chapell half a quarter of Barley." It appears from such information as I can obtain that the Parish Church of Shorne contained neither altar, nor chapel dedicated to St. Katherine—hence that this legacy referred to the present building seems probable, if not incontestable. If the witness, Sir Thomas Elys (who, according to Hasted, died Vicar of Shorne on the 18th Marcli 1569) was (as I suppose) the then vicar, he affords a tolerable refutation in his own person of the idea that Shorne was at those periods an unhealthy parish, suffering often from the prevalence of ague; for protection against which a Saint " Sir John Schorne " was popularly invoked. I do not know that the Saint possessed other shrines in Kent than at Shorne, at Lower Hnlstow, and at Canterbury Cathedral, though it is stated by one author that the adjoining Parish Church of Merston (probably in error for a parish in Bucks) contained one; but that he was venerated in the counties of Suffolk, Norfolk, Bucks, and Berks we possess much evidence.

G. M. Bond1 and J. P. O’Connor2 1Department of Zoology and Animal Ecology, School of BEES, University College Cork, Distillery Fields, North Mall, Cork, Ireland. e-mail: <[email protected]> 2Emeritus Entomologist, National Museum of Ireland, Kildare Street, Dublin 2, Ireland. Abstract Additions, deletions and corrections are made to the Irish checklist of butterflies and moths (Lepidoptera). Elachista biatomella (Stainton, 1848) is added to the Irish list. The total number of confirmed Irish species of Lepidoptera now stands at 1480. Key words: Lepidoptera, additions, deletions, corrections, Irish list, Elachista biatomella Introduction Bond, Nash and O’Connor (2006) provided a checklist of the Irish Lepidoptera. Since its publication, many new discoveries have been made and are reported here. In addition, several deletions have been made. A concise and updated checklist is provided. The following abbreviations are used in the text: BM(NH) – The Natural History Museum, London; NMINH – National Museum of Ireland, Natural History, Dublin. The total number of confirmed Irish species now stands at 1480, an addition of 68 since Bond et al. (2006). Taxonomic arrangement As a result of recent systematic research, it has been necessary to replace the arrangement familiar to British and Irish Lepidopterists by the Fauna Europaea [FE] system used by Karsholt 60 Bulletin of the Irish Biogeographical Society No. 36 (2012) and Razowski, which is widely used in continental Europe.
