1. Budorcas Taxicolor Tibetanus Milne-Edwards.- a Horn of an Adult and Skins and Skulls of Two Very Young Animals, Tai-Pa-Shiang, August 16 and October 25
59.9(51.4) Article XXIX.- MAMMALS FROM SHEN-SI PROVINCE, CHINA. By J. A. ALLEN. A small collection of mammals from Mount Tai-pai, Shen-si Province, China, recently acquired by the Museum through Mr. Alan Owston of Yokohama, contains several species of interest. It comprises 55 specimens, representing 16 species, some of which appear to be undescribed. The material is rather poorly prepared, the skulls having been left in the skins, and when removed were found to be more or less mutilated, some of them lacking the whole of the postorbital portion. The collection is of interest as coming from a hitherto unexplored locality, the Tai-pa-shiang mountains, on the western border of Shen-si, which are said to reach an altitude of about 11,000 feet. The specimens are mostly labeled simply "Tai-pa- shiang," with the sex of the specimen and date of collection, but a few are labeled as from "Yumonko, foot of Tai-pa-shiang," and others are marked "Si-Tai-pa-shiang." In no case is the altitude indicated. 1. Budorcas taxicolor tibetanus Milne-Edwards.- A horn of an adult and skins and skulls of two very young animals, Tai-pa-shiang, August 16 and October 25. The two specimens are respectively male and female, and differ much in color, the male having the body, except the ventral surface and the dorsal stripe, pale yellowish, the dorsal stripe, the ventral surface and limbs dark dull reddish brown; top of nose and edge of ears blackish. The other has the body nearly white, with the underparts and limbs dark brown; the dorsal stripe is dark brown only over the shoulders, and black mixed with white on the top of the neck and posterior two-thirds of the dorsal line; black hairs are also appearing on the limbs. -
Introduction to Risk Assessments for Methods Used in Wildlife Damage Management
Human Health and Ecological Risk Assessment for the Use of Wildlife Damage Management Methods by USDA-APHIS-Wildlife Services Chapter I Introduction to Risk Assessments for Methods Used in Wildlife Damage Management MAY 2017 Introduction to Risk Assessments for Methods Used in Wildlife Damage Management EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The USDA-APHIS-Wildlife Services (WS) Program completed Risk Assessments for methods used in wildlife damage management in 1992 (USDA 1997). While those Risk Assessments are still valid, for the most part, the WS Program has expanded programs into different areas of wildlife management and wildlife damage management (WDM) such as work on airports, with feral swine and management of other invasive species, disease surveillance and control. Inherently, these programs have expanded the methods being used. Additionally, research has improved the effectiveness and selectiveness of methods being used and made new tools available. Thus, new methods and strategies will be analyzed in these risk assessments to cover the latest methods being used. The risk assements are being completed in Chapters and will be made available on a website, which can be regularly updated. Similar methods are combined into single risk assessments for efficiency; for example Chapter IV contains all foothold traps being used including standard foothold traps, pole traps, and foot cuffs. The Introduction to Risk Assessments is Chapter I and was completed to give an overall summary of the national WS Program. The methods being used and risks to target and nontarget species, people, pets, and the environment, and the issue of humanenss are discussed in this Chapter. From FY11 to FY15, WS had work tasks associated with 53 different methods being used. -

Le Costellazioni
ASTRONOMIA VALLI DEL NOCE www.astronomiavallidelnoce.it [email protected] LE COSTELLAZIONI Una costellazione (dal latino constellatio, cum+stellatus) è un gruppo di stelle visibili che assumono una particolare forma sulla volta celeste. Queste forme sono date dalla pura immaginazione, nella realtà le stelle non hanno questa correlazione. Stelle che sulla volta celeste ci appaiono vicine tra loro, nello spazio tridimensionale potrebbero risultare più distanti rispetto a stelle di costellazioni diverse. Ciò che noi vediamo è solo la loro proiezione sulla volta celeste. Il raggruppamento delle costellazioni è essenzialmente arbitrario e può variare da cultura a cultura. Alcune forme più facili da identificare erano comuni a più culture. L'Unione Astronomica Internazionale (UAI) ha diviso il cielo in 88 costellazioni ufficiali con confini precisi, in modo che il cielo sia completamente diviso in settori univoci. Oggi col termine costellazione non si intendono più le figure formate dalle stelle, ma delle aree di cielo ben definite. Storia delle costellazioni Fin dal Paleolitico l'uomo ha guardato il cielo, sia per motivi pratici (orientamento, misurazione del tempo, agricoltura) che religiosi (culti di divinità astrali, interpretazione degli eventi). Nel Paleolitico Superiore (16000 anni fa), l’uomo aveva dato vita ad un sistema di 25 costellazioni, ripartite in tre gruppi, riconducibili metaforicamente alle tre dimensioni con cui tutti i popoli da sempre hanno rappresentato il mondo: il Paradiso, la Terra e gli Inferi: • Primo gruppo: costellazioni riferite al mondo superiore, ovvero dominate da creature aeree (ad es. Cigno, Aquila, Pegaso, ecc.), le quali avevano al culmine la maggior altezza sull’orizzonte; • Secondo gruppo: costellazioni legate alla Terra (ad es. -
Elements of Astronomy
^ ELEMENTS ASTRONOMY: DESIGNED AS A TEXT-BOOK uabemws, Btminwcus, anb families. BY Rev. JOHN DAVIS, A.M. FORMERLY PROFESSOR OF MATHEMATICS AND ASTRONOMY IN ALLEGHENY CITY COLLEGE, AND LATE PRINCIPAL OF THE ACADEMY OF SCIENCE, ALLEGHENY CITY, PA. PHILADELPHIA: PRINTED BY SHERMAN & CO.^ S. W. COB. OF SEVENTH AND CHERRY STREETS. 1868. Entered, according to Act of Congress, in the year 1867, by JOHN DAVIS, in the Clerk's OlBce of the District Court of the United States for the Western District of Pennsylvania. STEREOTYPED BY MACKELLAR, SMITHS & JORDAN, PHILADELPHIA. CAXTON PRESS OF SHERMAN & CO., PHILADELPHIA- PREFACE. This work is designed to fill a vacuum in academies, seminaries, and families. With the advancement of science there should be a corresponding advancement in the facilities for acquiring a knowledge of it. To economize time and expense in this department is of as much importance to the student as frugality and in- dustry are to the success of the manufacturer or the mechanic. Impressed with the importance of these facts, and having a desire to aid in the general diffusion of useful knowledge by giving them some practical form, this work has been prepared. Its language is level to the comprehension of the youthful mind, and by an easy and familiar method it illustrates and explains all of the principal topics that are contained in the science of astronomy. It treats first of the sun and those heavenly bodies with which we are by observation most familiar, and advances consecutively in the investigation of other worlds and systems which the telescope has revealed to our view. -

Welsh Seasonality Habitat Vulnerability Review. Footprint Ecology / CCW. 1 Summary It is increasingly recognised that recreational access to the countryside has a wide range of benefits, such as positive effects on health and well-being, economic benefits and an enhanced understanding of and connection with the natural environment. There are also negative effects of access, however, as people’s presence in the countryside can impact on the nature conservation interest of sites. This report reviews these potential impacts to the Welsh countryside, and we go on to discuss how such impacts could be mapped across the entirety of Wales. Such a map (or series of maps) would provide a tool for policy makers, planners and access managers, highlighting areas of the countryside particularly sensitive to access and potentially guiding the location and provision of access infrastructure, housing etc. We structure the review according to four main types of impacts: contamination, damage, fire and disturbance. Contamination includes impacts such as litter, nutrient enrichment and the spread of exotic species. Within the section on damage we consider harvesting and the impacts of footfall on vegetation and erosion of substrates. The fire section addresses the impacts of fire (accidental or arson) on animals, plant communities and the soil. Disturbance is typically the unintentional consequences of people’s presence, sometimes leading to animals avoiding particular areas and impacts on breeding success, survival etc. We review the effects of disturbance to mammals, birds, herptiles and invertebrates and also consider direct mortality, for example trampling of nests or deliberate killing of reptiles. -

G. /. Minnaert bij de eerste druk Het gebruik van vreemde woorden in de wetenschap heeft zijn kwade, maar ook zijn goede zijde. Het is een euvel, daar het de begrijpelijkheid van de tekst voor den niet-geschoolden lezer bemoeilijkt, de stijl onper- soonlijker en vlakker maakt. Anderzijds is het een voordeel, daar de vast- stelling van internationaal gangbare, nauwkeurig gedefinieerde termen de scherpe vastlegging der begrippen bevordert, en de betrekkingen verge- makkelijkt tussen de wetenschappelijke werkers over de gehele wereld. Het werk van Dr. van Laer nu is bij uitstek geschikt om tegemoet te ko- men aan de bezwaren, en de voordelen tot hun recht te laten komen. Hij brengt ons vooreerst een korte, heldere verklaring van wat elk vreemd woord in onze wetenschap betekent: een belangrijk hulpmiddel dus voor ieder, die zich in de Sterrekunde inwerken wil. -

Qui n’a jamais entendu parler de la Grande Ourse ou observé la casserole dans le ciel ? Qui ne s’est jamais posé la question de la signification de ces figures, qu’on appelle « constellations », illustrant le ciel nocturne ? En fait d’explication, il n’y en a qu’une : ces figures sont le fruit du hasard, de notre position dans l’espace, de notre vision du ciel en 2 dimensions et surtout de notre imagination … 4 OrigineOrigine desdes nomsnoms L'origine des noms de nos constellations est très ancienne. On a retrouvé en Arménie sur des dalles datant du 4e millénaire avant notre ère des représentations du Cygne, du Taureau ou du Lion. Les Babyloniens utilisaient déjà une bonne partie des constellations attribuées ensuite aux Grecs, en particulier celles du zodiaque. 5 On retrouve l’origine des constellations peu de temps après l’apparition de l’écriture, puisque des symboles cunéiformes représentant ces constellations ont été décelés sur des textes et des objets de civilisations aujourd’hui disparues, situées dans la vallée de l’Euphrate, il y a plus de 5 000 ans … Toutefois, il faudra attendre le IIème siècle ap. J-C. pour que l’astronome Grec Ptolémée procède à un découpage du ciel sur 1022 étoiles groupées en 48 constellations. Les constellations étaient ainsi la plupart du temps apparentées à des animaux ou figures mythologiques, dont l’utilité était aussi bien ésotérique (astrologie) que géographique, cartographique ou calendaire. -

The Valley Skywatcher • Fall 2015 • Volume 52-4 • Page 1 Determination of the Length of the Year Using Solar Altitude Measurements By George Trimble, MD Introduction: I sought to duplicate the efforts of Hipparchus and Claudius Ptolemy in measuring the moment of the autumnal equinox for use in determining the mean length of the tropical year. When the modern value for the autumnal equinox is used with the time of the equinox obtained by Hipparchus in his day, the length of the year may be calculated with great accuracy — even if the measurements of the moments of the equinox are in modest error. This is due to the averaging effects of elapsed time.
