Contact Information Reference Department Archives of American Art Smithsonian Institution Washington. D.C. 20560 www.aaa.si.edu/askus Transcript Preface Preface Interview with The Reverend Howard Finster conducted by Liza Kirwin in the Finley Conference Room at the National Museum of American Art and National Portrait Gallery building, Washington, D.C., June 11, 1984. Preface The following oral history transcript is the result of a tape recorded interview with Howard Finster on June 11, 1984. The interview took place in Washington, D.C., and was conducted by Liza Kirwin for the Archives of American Art, Smithsonian Institution. While we have made an attempt to convey The Reverend Finster’s speech pattern and dialect, the reader should bear in mind that this is a verbatim transcript of spoken, rather than written prose Interview LIZA KIRWIN: Mr. Finster, could you begin by talking about when and where you were born, and a little bit about your family background? HOWARD FINSTER: Yeah, I’ll start talking and you just break in when you want to because I never quit, you know. Just break if I talk too long. I was born at Valley Head, Alabama. It’s about 42 miles south of Chattanooga and about 200 miles west of Atlanta. I was born there in Alabama. I stayed on the farm a good while–with my father and mother and farm.

A total of 60 species of orthopteroid insects were identified, belonging to 58 genera from 17 families and 5 orders. Mantids are represented by 3 families, 6 genera and 6 species; cockroaches – by 2 families, 2 genera and 2 species; earwigs – by 3 families, 3 genera and 3 species; sticks insects – by 1 family, 1 genus and 1 species. Orthopterans are most numerous (8 families, 46 genera and 48 species). Of these, three species, Bolivaria brachyptera, Hierodula tenuidentata and Ceraeocercus fuscipennis, are listed in the Red Book of the Republic of Kazakhstan. Celes variabilis and Chrysochraon dispar indicated for the first time for a given location. The fauna of orthopteroid insects in the studied areas of Kyzylorda is compared with other regions of Kazakhstan.

    Invertebrate Distribution and Diversity Assessment at the U. S. Army Pinon Canyon Maneuver Site A report to the U. S. Army and U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service G. J. Michels, Jr., J. L. Newton, H. L. Lindon, and J. A. Brazille Texas AgriLife Research 2301 Experiment Station Road Bushland, TX 79012 2008 Report Introductory Notes The invertebrate survey in 2008 presented an interesting challenge. Extremely dry conditions prevailed throughout most of the adult activity period for the invertebrates and grass fires occurred several times throughout the summer. By visual assessment, plant resources were scarce compared to last year, with few green plants and almost no flowering plants. Eight habitats and nine sites continued to be sampled in 2008. The Ponderosa pine/ yellow indiangrass site was removed from the study after the low numbers of species and individuals collected there in 2007. All other sites from the 2007 survey were included in the 2008 survey. We also discontinued the collection of Coccinellidae in the 2008 survey, as only 98 individuals from four species were collected in 2007. Pitfall and malaise trapping were continued in the same way as the 2007 survey. Sweep net sampling was discontinued to allow time for Asilidae and Orthoptera timed surveys consisting of direct collection of individuals with a net. These surveys were conducted in the same way as the time constrained butterfly (Papilionidea and Hesperoidea) surveys, with 15-minute intervals for each taxanomic group. This was sucessful when individuals were present, but the dry summer made it difficult to assess the utility of these techniques because of overall low abundance of insects.

The presence of the species was confirmed in the "Colbitz Letzlinger Heide" area in the north of Saxony-Anhalt in 2012. This small isolated population is described and possible protection measures for this vulnerable population are presented. Finally all grasshopper species are specified which are associated with Gampso- cleis glabra. Zusammenfassung Im vorliegenden Beitrag werden Angaben zur Verbreitung der in Deutschland und Mitteleuropa extrem seltenen Heuschreckenart Gampsocleis glabra darge- stellt. Die Art wurde im Jahr 2012 erstmalig in der Colbitz-Letzlinger Heide im Norden Sachsen-Anhalts nachgewiesen. Das kleinflächige und räumlich isoliert liegende Vorkommen wird beschrieben und es werden Hinweise zur Gefährdung sowie zu möglichen Maßnahmen zur Sicherung des Vorkommens auf dem TrÜbPl Altmark gegeben. Abschließend werden die mit Gampsocleis glabra ver- gesellschaftet vorkommenden Heuschreckenarten benannt. Einleitung Bei der Kartierung von Heuschrecken im Rahmen des aus Mitteln des Europäi- schen Landwirtschaftsfonds für die Entwicklung des ländlichen Raums (ELER) geförderten Projekts "Faunistische Untersuchungen zu kennzeichnenden Arten der FFH-Lebensraumtypen -Erfassung und Bewertung der Geradflügler im FFH- Gebiet 235 "Colbitz-Letzlinger Heide" (Nordteil)" wurden im Jahr 2012 auf einer Untersuchungsfläche mehrere Nachweise von Gampsocleis glabra erbracht. Im Folgenden werden die Verbreitung der Art, ihr Vorkommen in der Colbitz- Letzlinger Heide sowie ihre Gefährdung im Gebiet und mögliche Schutzmaß- nahmen dargestellt.

  • Extra Nucleolar Activity Associated with Chromosome Segment in The
    Heredity 56 (1986) 237—241 The Genetical Society of Great Britain Received 22 July 1985 Extra nucleolar activity associated with presence of a supernumerary chromosome segment in the grasshopper Oedipoda fuscocincta J. P. M. Camacho, J. Navas-Castillo Departamento de Genética, Facultad de Ciencias, and J. Cabrero Universidad de Granada, 18071 Granada, Spain. The standard males of Oedipoda fuscocincta show a single active nucleolus organiser region (NOR) located in the secondary constriction of the M9 chromosomes. Nine males from three different populations proved to be heterozygous for a heterochromatic supernumerary segment which is distally located on the S10 chromosome. This also showed NOR activity. All available data seem to support the hypothesis that this extra segment on the S10 chromosome has arisen by translocation of part of the M9 chromosome, specifically that located between the centromere and the secondary constriction.
