In In dealing with our waters today elected to direct our initial efforts in our management program to lakes and ponds of the Commonwealth. This may seem surprising in view of the predominance of streams. Here are the reasons for the decision. Over a period of many years much informa­ tion has been gathered on our streams so that we now know which are suited to trout and which to bass and other, warm-water species. Also we have general data as to the anglers' returns in many streams. This information is on file and is used as a basis for our present stocking policy. More studies are needed on streams particularly on the larger, warm-water ones. On the other hand, our lakes an ponds are pretty much of a closed book to us for very little scientific work has been done on them. In most cases our present information is largely concerned with kinds and numbers of fish stocked together with some data on anglers' catches. The many problems of environmental re­ lationships have not been investigated- This is largely because greater depths in lakes make them more difficult to study than streams.

As our waters become better known through studies, we must change some of our present policies in handling them.

  • A GUIDE to the SNAKES OF' Tile NAIROBI DISTRICT. Judged By
    A GUIDE TO THE SNAKES OF' TIlE NAIROBI DISTRICT. By ARTHUR LOVERIDGE (Museum of Comparative Zoology, Cambridge, Mass.) Judged by African standards the snake fauna of Nairobi must be considered poor. To prevent anyone deriving false comfort from this fact, I hasten to add that individuals of a few species are fairly numerous, and of the four commonest Nairobi snakes two kinds are very poisonous. The proportion of venomous to harmless serpents is not so impressive when viewed from the species angle, for of the twenty-one snakes listed below only four are dangerous to man. It would have been a simple matter to present a more impressive list by adding the names of "probables" or "possibles" from among the remaining hundred and forty forms occurring in British East Africa. Such practices are to be deplored, however, for species listed as probables today are ~ikely to be copied as definite records tomorrow. That the list can be legitimately expanded is certain, for many years have elapsed since I casually searched for snakes in the vicinity of Nairobi. Possibly some additions that have never appeared in the literature are even now to be found in the Coryndon Memorial Museum. I mention this in case anyone assumes that the keys to the species aC'companying this article are all- inclusive or final. LIST OF SPECIES KNOWN FROM NAIROBI DISTRICT. LEPTOTYPHLOPIDAE.

It is also an element of family history for my two daughters, Susan and Sandra, and my son, Philip, who grew up in the sunlight and storm of the Selous Game Reserve. v ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I started to write this book in 1995. For various reasons there were repeated delays, followed by a break of nearly two years. Many people have suggested I write an autobiography, and some have persistently followed up on this. John Moller went to much trouble to type and print the original draft of my story up to when I joined the Tanganyika Game Department in February 1950.

  • Kentucky Snakes
    Kentucky Snakes Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources Fish & Wildlife Mission Statement To conserve and enhance fish and wildlife resources and provide opportunity for hunting, fishing, trapping, boating and other wildlife-related activities. Kentucky Snakes Dr. Jonathan Gassett, Commissioner Compiled by Bill Moore Wildlife Diversity Biologist and Tim Slone Information and Education Director Photographs by John MacGregor April 2002 Reprinted December 2007 The Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, religion, age or disability in employment or the provision of services, and provides, upon request, reasonable accommodation including auxiliary aids and services necessary to afford individuals with disabilities an equal opportunity to participate in all programs and activities. Preface The purpose of this booklet is to assist in the identification of Kentucky’s snakes. While some snakes can be easily identified with a quick comparison to a photograph, others can be a little more difficult. Therefore, in addition to photographs, this booklet contains brief writ- ten descriptions and range maps. The general range where each species is known to occur within the state is indicated by blue on these maps. If you discover a snake in the field, observe it from a safe distance. In addi- tion to the snake’s color and pattern, also pay attention to its behavior as this can sometimes provide clues to its identification. In those situations where a snake is discovered in a place where it may be a problem, this booklet contains some suggestions on ways to discourage its presence.

Dickson] The Viper Company of America is proud to submit the Puff Adder Advanced Tactical Missile II concept in response to the U.S. Army's Concept Description Document dated 2 February 2006. The Puff Adder concept completely fulfills the Army's requirement to upgrade the existing 2.75 tactical missile at an affordable cost. The Puff Adder's technical design approach employs a combination of mature proven technologies (propulsion, warhead, structural materials) coupled with the most innovative technologies in guidance and control (controllable diverter thrusters and radar). Particular emphasis has been placed on using commercial off the shelf technology where appropriate. The Puff Adder has no outside movable aerodynamic control surfaces, which is a unique advantage over other conventional missile systems. Aerodynamic control is provided by 4 rings of thrusters, each containing twelve thrusters that are software controllable.

  • The Great Big Marvel Character Index (GBMCI) Compiled by Andrew Goldstein [1]
    The Great Big Marvel Character Index (GBMCI) Compiled by Andrew Goldstein [1] Version 1.0, last revised 01/20/2018 This index notes each character from the Marvel Universe that was described in one or more MARVEL SUPER HEROES game products. The abbreviations used herein follow. The letter D, followed by a number, indicatesthat the character was mentioned in that issue of DRAGON® Magazine (issues #88 to #198). The letter P, followed by a number, indicates the given issue number of POLYHEDRON Newszine in which a character was mentioned (issues #18 to #61). Some products listed did not mention specific heroes or villains, but are included here to show the complete line of MARVEL SUPER HEROES game products. In cases where character entries occupy multiple pages, the page number given denotes the beginning page of the character entry. Note that this index ONLY includes characters published under the TSR "FASERIP" system; it does not include source material for the SAGA or any other subsequent incarnation of the Marvel RPG, or unpublished "vaporware" works in progress that were never commercially released, etc. This index also does not include various issues of the Marvel-Phile and other publications which do not include character information (for example, the various Ultimate Power Book addenda, Q&A, and the character indexes themselves) although some of those articles do include non- character stats (e.g., Marvel Universe technology, or real-world miltary generic stats). The TSR-produced miniatures sets are likewise not listed, because why the heck would you need to look those up? The index will eventually include fan-made material that follows the same system, as relevant to the Marvel canon.

PREFACE t all started very suddenly, in the spring of 1955. I was reading magazineI s in my grandfather's house in New Jersey, and I found that magical Life cover story—"Dinosaurs." Fold-out, full-color pictures of heroic creatures. Allosaurus, Brontosaurus, Stegosaurus, Tyrannosaurus rex. I discovered an entire world, far, far away in time, that I could visit, whenever I wanted, via the creative labors of the paleontologists. And I made up my mind then and there that I would devote my life to the dinosaurs. Since I was in the fourth grade, my parents weren't alarmed at my vow.
