    Ichthyosaurs from the Lower Lias (Lower Jurassic) of Banwell, Somerset ICHTHYOSAURS FROM THE LOWER LIAS (LOWER JURASSIC) OF BANWELL, SOMERSET M.A. TAYLOR 1 AND R.D. CLARK 2 Taylor, M.A. and Clark, R.D. 2016. Ichthyosaurs from the Lower Lias (Lower Jurassic) of Banwell, Somerset. Geoscience in South-West England, 14, 59–71. Two Lower Jurassic ichthyosaurs, lost in a 1940s air raid, are identified from archival records and surviving 19th century plaster casts distributed by their owner, the Bristol Institution for the Advancement of Science, Literature and the Arts. One was the type specimen of Ichthyosaurus latimanus Owen, 1840. The other, initially labelled Ichthyosaurus intermedius Conybeare, 1822, was the first ichthyosaur in which remains of the soft tissue of the tail fin were identified, confirming Richard Owen’s earlier prediction. Unfortunately Owen’s published account conflated the two specimens, apparently by the erroneous transposition of a passage of text. Owen possibly regarded the second specimen as the type of I. intermedius. In 1889 Richard Lydekker referred it to Ichthyosaurus conybeari Lydekker, 1888. For unknown reasons, he caused further confusion by suppressing the fact that both ichthyosaur specimens came from Banwell. Banwell is shown to have been a minor but significant source of Lower Lias fossil vertebrates, and also the type locality of the fish Tetragonolepis monilifer Agassiz, 1837, apparently from quarries in the lowermost Jurassic beds at Knightcott. The Bristol Institution assisted Edward Wilson (1808–1888) to obtain at least some of the West Country marine reptiles which his brother Dr Thomas Bellerby Wilson (1807–1865) donated to the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia, U.S.A.

  • Cumulated Bibliography of Biographies of Ocean Scientists Deborah Day, Scripps Institution of Oceanography Archives Revised December 3, 2001
    Cumulated Bibliography of Biographies of Ocean Scientists Deborah Day, Scripps Institution of Oceanography Archives Revised December 3, 2001. Preface This bibliography attempts to list all substantial autobiographies, biographies, festschrifts and obituaries of prominent oceanographers, marine biologists, fisheries scientists, and other scientists who worked in the marine environment published in journals and books after 1922, the publication date of Herdman’s Founders of Oceanography. The bibliography does not include newspaper obituaries, government documents, or citations to brief entries in general biographical sources. Items are listed alphabetically by author, and then chronologically by date of publication under a legend that includes the full name of the individual, his/her date of birth in European style(day, month in roman numeral, year), followed by his/her place of birth, then his date of death and place of death. Entries are in author-editor style following the Chicago Manual of Style (Chicago and London: University of Chicago Press, 14th ed., 1993). Citations are annotated to list the language if it is not obvious from the text. Annotations will also indicate if the citation includes a list of the scientist’s papers, if there is a relationship between the author of the citation and the scientist, or if the citation is written for a particular audience. This bibliography of biographies of scientists of the sea is based on Jacqueline Carpine-Lancre’s bibliography of biographies first published annually beginning with issue 4 of the History of Oceanography Newsletter (September 1992). It was supplemented by a bibliography maintained by Eric L. Mills and citations in the biographical files of the Archives of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, UCSD.

  • The Quest for the Northwest Passage
    NOVA DANIA THE QUEST FOR THE NORTHWEST PASSAGE SUZANNE CARLSON With considerable envy, the seventeenth century King of Denmark, Christian IV, watched the scramble to discover the elusive passage over Polar regions to lay claim to the riches of Cathay. This article will follow the fate of Christian’s early seventeenth century New World foothold, Nova Dania, through the cartographic record, speculating on what and when the Danes might have known about the then frozen northwest passage. An essential piece in this story is the amazing tale of Jens Munk, a merchant adventurer in the King’s service. For the cyber traveler, opportunities have reached a new zenith with Google Earth (FIGURE 1).

Mr. Ekblaw, who was placed in charge of the 1916 expeditin, will present a separate report. The results of the expedition, naturally, depended upon the loca tion of its headquarters. The enforced selection of Etah, North Green- land, seriously handicapped the work of the expedition from start to finish, while the. expenses of the party were more than doubled. The. first accident, the grounding of the Diana upon the coast of Labrador, was a regrettable adventure. The consequent delay, due to unloading, chartering, and reloading, resulted in such a late arrival at Etah that our plans were disarranged. It curtailed in many ways the eageimess of the men to reach their objective point at the head of Flagler Bay, te proposed site of the winter quarters. The leader and his party being but passengers upon a chartered ship was another handicap, since the captain emphatically declared that he would not steam across Smith Sound. There was but one decision to be made, namely: to land upon the North Greenland shore within striking distance of Cape Sabine.
