    1 THE PHILIPPINE JOURNAL OF SCIENCE VOL. 58 SEPTEMBER, 1935 No.1 A REVISION OF THE PHILIPPINE LORANTHACEAE By B. H. DANSER Of the Botanical Laboratory of the University, Groningen, Netherlands TWO PLATES A revision of the Philippine Loranthaceae has already twice been given, though in a more concise form, by Merrill.1 The present revision is, in many respects, only an extension of Merrill’s. New are the keys for all genera and species; the complete descriptions for all species, usually after all materials available; the distribution lists as complete as possible; and many criticisms of the nomenclature. In many points, such as the synonymy of older Philippine literature, I have had to follow Merrill blindly; also it deserves to be mentioned that the careful labeling of the material in the Bureau of Science herbarium and the clear indication of good types are Merrill’s work. I am, however, also greatly indebted to Dr. Eduardo Quisumbing, curator of the Philippine National Herbarium, Bureau of Science, for his kindness in twice sending me the Philippine Loranthaceae - once to Buitenzorg and once to Groningen. Also to the directors of other herbaria, who kindly sent me Philippine Loranthacese to be taken up in my revision, I feel very thankful. The herbaria from which material was received are here listed: B; Herbarium of the Botanic Gardens, Buitenzorg, Java. Be; Herbarium of the Botanic Garden and Museum, Berlin-Dahlem. Br; Herbarium of the Botanic Garden of the University, Breslau. G; Herbarium of the Botanical Laboratory of the University, Groningen. L; The State Herbarium, Leiden.

Tt has been suggested by Dr. Fritz Kranzliu that the species of Dcn~ drochilum which I have assigned to the section Acoridmm ought to constitute a distinct genus. Dr. Kriinzlin asserts that the form of the labellum is quite distinctive in Acoridiuin on account of its likeness to the letter E. When I studied DendrochiluDi tenclhun in the preparation of Fascicle I of ^'^Orchidaceae" I felt strongly that it belonged to a genus entirely distinct from DendrocliUum because of the absence of stelidia from the column and of the peculiar subfiliform leaves. Since then I have been convinced by a study of more material that Acoridiuin belongs to DendrocliiJum. In the first place, the E-formed labellum on which Dr. Kranzlin lays emphasis is only characteristic of a majority of the species of the section Acoridiuin and is not found in D. turpe, D. oligan- fJiun), D. ]ia.'<fatum, I).

Araja The Department of Environment and Natural Resources on Tuesday said its solid waste management initiatives are on the right track. DENR Usec. for Solid Waste Management and Local Government Units Concerns Benny Antiporda said the recent inclusion of plastic soft drink straws and plastic coffee stirrers in the list of non-environmentally acceptable products (NEAP) in the country is a big boost in the government’s solid waste management initiative. He said the development has made DENR all the more determined to pursue its solid waste management initiatives through the Tayo ang Kalikasan (TAK) campaign. “With the initial listing of these two items in the NEAP, we are all the more encouraged to uphold our mandate and advocacy on solid waste management despite the lingering pandemic in the country,” he said. Antiporda said DENR regional offices have been stepping up their TAK campaign, which primarily aims to enhance people’s awareness on Republic Act 9003 or the Ecological Solid Waste Management Act of 2000 with the end goal of substantially reducing the volume of plastic wastes and prevent these from polluting the environment. Local governments, he said, also support the inclusion of the two plastic items in the NEAP list.

  • Volcans Monde SI Dec2010
    GEOLOGICAL MAP OF THE WORLD AT 1: 25,000,000 SCALE, THIRD EDITION - Compilator: Philippe Bouysse, 2006 ACTIVE AND RECENT VOLCANOES This list of 1508 volcanoes is taken from data of the Global Volcanism Program run by the Smithsonian Institution (Washington, D.C., USA) and downloaded in April 2006 from the site www.volcano.si.edu/world/summary.cfm?sumpage=num. From the Smithsonian's list, 41 locations have been discarded due to a great deal of uncertainties, particularly as concerns doubtful submarine occurrences (mainly ship reports of the 19th and early 20th centuries). Also have been omitted submarine occurrences from the axes of "normal" oceanic accretionary ridges, i.e. not affected by hotspot activity. NOTES Volcano number: the numbering system was developped by the Catalog of Active Volcanoes of the World in the 1930s and followed on by the Smithsonian Institution, namely in the publication of T. Simkin & L.Siebert: Volcanoes of the World (1994). Name and Geographic situation: some complementary information has been provided concerning a more accurate geographic location of the volcano, e.g. in the case of smaller islands or due to political changes (as for Eritrea). Geographic coordinates: are listed in decimal parts of a degree. The position of volcano no. 104-10 (Tskhouk-Karckar, Armenia) was corrected (Lat. 39°.73 N instead of 35°.73 N). An asterisk (*) in column V.F. indicates the position of the center point of a broad volcanic field. Elevation: in meters, positive or negative for submarine volcanoes. Time frame (column T-FR): this is a Smithsonian' classification for the time of the volcano last known eruption: D1= 1964 or later D2= 1900 – 1963 D3= 1800 – 1899 D4= 1700 – 1799 D5= 1500 – 1699 D6= A.D.1 – 1499 D7= B.C.

As stewards of the country’s rich biological resources, we are privileged to see up close the treasures that make up the country’s natural capital. Where else can you find one of the world’s most majestic eagles? Where can you encounter one of the world’s smallest and most endangered water buffalo? Where is one of the most and diverse marine ecosystems in the world? These and many other natural wonders make up the unique environment of the Philippines. Our wildlife and their habitats are not only wonderful to look at, but they also provide vital services and benefits to humankind.

Available at http://pubs.usgs.gov/of/2009/1133/ 2 Introduction Volcanic eruptions that spew tephra into the atmosphere pose a hazard to jet aircraft. For this reason, the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) has designated nine Volcanic Ash and Aviation Centers (VAACs) around the world whose purpose is to track ash clouds from eruptions and notify aircraft so that they may avoid these ash clouds. During eruptions, VAACs and their collaborators run volcanic-ash- transport-and-dispersion (VATD) models that forecast the location and movement of ash clouds.
